Boston beat writer Kirk Luedeke reports that the Bruins have signed Carl Soderberg, and that he thinks it is a three-year deal. Soderberg still needs to secure release from Sweden, but at his age (27) he should see time in the NHL right away (it's likely a one-way deal). More on Soderberg over at DobberProspects. [...]
Who are the best goaltenders to own in fantasy hockey? The list continues to change considerably from year to year....
With seven points in his last five games, Matt Carle's numbers have shot up to a level that is fairly close to our preseason expectations. It's playoff hockey in some fantasy leagues, so this surge is timely. S/T to Ken in the comments below. * Love the comments, as they often inform [...]
They had a slow start to the season, but the LA Kings are still the class of the league. No club in the NHL sports better possession metrics than LA and Jonathan Quick is slowing beginning to round back into form. Two guys who have begun to find the net more often for Los Angeles [...]
A look at Danny Kriston, Nick Bjugstad, and Jacob Trouba.
This week I take a break from looking at players who will be drafted in a few months. Instead, I'll take a closer look at three great young prospects who recently signed contracts this week after the completion of the NCAA season. Of course, the focus will be on what fantasy owners should expect this season and next.
Andrew Schopp takes a closer look at five prospects who changed teams at the trade deadline.
At 2:10 EST and with 50 to minutes to go, the 2013 edition of NHL trade deadline day was becoming a forgettable piece of NHL history. Then, NHL GMs went full tilt in the final hour with a flurry of trades; shipping all-stars, captains and a slew of promising prospects across the league. When it was all said and done, the Sabres began the rebuild process, the Blue Jackets look more like a playoff team, and a number of prospects found themselves on the fantasy radar. These five prospects dealt prior to the April 3 NHL trade deadline could make an impact soon.
* Don't forget to check out DobberBaseball - I used the draft guide thoroughly this year, as it was my first year in about 10 years playing fantasy baseball. The Kershawshank Redemption is off to a great start in 2013 (in case you were wondering). * Brandon Pirri (Chicago prospect) had [...]
Marty Kwiaton gives you his picks for Saturday's best NHL games.
Feeling the time crunch this week, so we’re going to skip all the fluff in the introduction and get right to it. On the surface, there look to be a number of "slam-dunk" picks this weekend. We will see what happens on the ice, though....
* A busy (and exciting) Thursday night in the NHL. Roy, Gaborik, Bishop, and Jagr were all difference makers in their respective debuts with new teams. * Picked a good Canucks game to go to – Pavel Bure was in the house, and got a rousing standing ovation from the crowd. He’s [...]
* So... how about that Rangers team? Derrick Brassard - four points. John Moore - a goal. Ryane Clowe - two goals (his first two of the season) and a helper. Could the Rangers petition to have more than one trade deadline next season? As good as the Rangers looked last night, [...]
