Regardless of what type of fantasy league you are in. Whether you are preparing for the initial draft, an expansion draft, a supplemental draft or midseason trades and roster adds/drops, these three concepts will give you an added edge towards fantasy pool supremacy among your peers.
Teddy Purcell has signed a two-year deal with the Lightning worth nearly $2.4 million cap hit. That kind of money, plus his playoff play, will keep him on the second line now. As expected, the Red Wings have signed Ty Conklin. Attention Howard owners - Conklin is more of a threat to steal [...]
Fantastic hire by the Devils in coach Peter DeBoer. Fits their system perfectly. From what I've seen, similar to Lemaire. The team will be closer to how they were in the last half of last season as opposed to the first half. It's done. Steven Stamkos has signed for five years, cap hit [...]
So the airline Jet Blue loses the Stanley Cup, and then makes the Cup’s escort go through the regular line with it when he finally gets it back. Nathan Horton, meanwhile, attends the Cup parade in his hometown without the Cup! In Jet Blue’s defense, the Cup guy arrived at the airport later than [...]

Spammers added a couple of redirects which sent the visitor to a spam site, for some reason believing that fantasy baseball enthusiasts would [...]
A September '09 article of mine explained how NHL teams like to transition potential scoring forwards from the AHL to the NHL.

The effort to live vicariously through your fantasy hockey team mellows the burning desire live it out in the real. Adding dimensions to your hockey pool can simulate an office job with a city view, while working for your favourite team. The salary cap satisfies the statistic nerd in all of us and increases the difficulty level of running a team.
Fantasy Impact: The Anaheim Ducks have acquired forward Andrew Cogliano from the Oilers for a second-round draft pick (2013).
Tough and surprising news for Dustin Jeffrey owners - he signed a two-way deal for this season, with it becoming a one-way deal next year. The guy is NHL ready. He has proven that he belongs...but this opens the door for an AHL demotion. Meanwhile, Pascal Dupuis, who isn't fit to tie Jeffrey's skates, [...]
Goldie Says: To better evaluate Semyon Varlamov's fantasy value for this season, please read Paving Varlamov's Path. I go in-depth on the steps he and the Avs must take to eliminate his injury issues. Also, my info on Jordan Pearce in School of Block today is kinda a wash as Joey MacDonald agreed to a new two-year deal this morning. He was signed [...]
