TSN reports that Guillaume Latendresse will undergo hip surgery to repair a torn labrum, as well as surgery to repair a sports hernia. He is out until probably March. It looks like early on O'Sullivan will try his hand at Latendresse's spot. Kyle Turris has been placed on IR with a UBI and [...]
Patrick O'Sullivan has been placed on waivers. My money is on him clearing and heading to the AHL. DobberBaseball's Fantasy Prospects Report will be released later this evening. You can order that here. Some funny comments below. To answer some of them - Michael Del Zotto has just three points in his [...]
Greg Wyshynski with an excellent take on the Colin Campbell - Colie-mail - events. Philadelphia has traded Patrick Maroon and David Laliberte to Anaheim for Danny Syvret and Rob Bordson. This is a new opportunity for Maroon, who has a lot more room on the depth chart in Anaheim than he did in [...]
Although less than ten minutes southeast of Oslo in the best traffic, Manglerud may as well be on another planet. In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Norway’s capital city, the tiny borough is one of just three that straddles the picturesque wildlife preserve of Lake Østensjøvannet. Manglerud also happens to be the home of one of YouTube’s biggest hockey stars of the moment- a ten-year-old by the name of Mathias Emilio Pettersen. Find out more about this extraordinary young man in a special weekday edition of Bugg Bytes.

Following my Western counterpart, this week we will cover Eastern Conference wingers. Two key statistics that I use to determine the potential value of a forward are Power Play Time On Ice and Time On Ice. Typically in order to produce fantasy-worthy numbers, players need to be receiving top six ice time and be at least receiving reasonable amount of time with the man advantage.
Fantasy Impact: The Calgary Flames have traded defenseman Ian White and reserve forward Brett Sutter to Carolina for defenseman Anton Babchuk and industrious forward Tom Kostopolous.
Interesting Calgary - Carolina deal, which I will analyze within the hour... This is painful to say, it really is, but Todd Bertuzzi doesn't want to slow down. This is why I hate writing off guys, because some of them eventually bounce back even when you are 100 percent certain that he's done [...]
What a terrible setback for a player who had such a small window of opportunity to flourish and wasn't doing too badly - The Fourth Period reports that Scott Parse will undergo groin surgery and is out for 3-4 months. Carolina has claimed Troy Bodie off of waivers. This is added competition for [...]
