Chicago committed highway robbery. While Dale Tallon's fingerprints are all over this team, congrats to Stan Bowman for bending the new GM in Atlanta over the barrel. He not only gets rid of the contract of Dustin Byfuglien, but also Sopel's - and Ben Eager is up for a bit of a raise as [...]

Bugg here- Pat Quinn was addressing the Edmonton media with regards to being named Senior Hockey Advisor. He sounded none too happy about essentially being booted upstairs, but that's not all. He may have leaked Edmonton's pick. When commenting on the incoming crew of 19-year-olds, he specifically said there were three, and he'd worked with [...]

Phoenix has re-signed Taylor Pyatt for two years. I'm indifferent about that one. He's found a niche as a third liner. The Pens have signed d-man Ben Lovejoy to a three-year deal. Regarding Josh Harding - he's an underrated goaltender whom we haven't had the luxury of seeing because he's been buried [...]

So...anything happen while I was away? Lots of new trends in the NHL, trends you saw begin a year or perhaps two years ago are really coming to the forefront now. I alluded to goaltending a week or so ago, and how teams are/will start to draft only the top goalies and sign goalies [...]

Buy the Fantasy Prospects Report - HERE I didn't think they could do it, or would even try - which is contrary to what has been coming out of Detroit. Well, what has been coming out of Detroit turned out to be correct - the Wings signed Todd Bertuzzi. Two years, just over [...]

Hilarious parody I stuck at the bottom. A must see! I guess Henrik Karlsson didn't like his chances of cracking the Sharks. Two months after being added to their practice roster and nine months after signing with them, he has signed to play in the KHL next year. The netminder is actually profiled [...]

The Fantasy Prospects Report is finalized and available in your downloads. According to Jeremy Rutherford, the Blues have signed big Russian defender Nikita Nikitin. I think his middle name is Nikki-nik-nik-nik. Just browsing the stats, there is some upside there, but on the Blues the best he could hope for is a No.4 [...]
A Look at the Lightning
Tampa Bay actually had a pretty decent campaign. Certainly better than anyone had expected. But that wasn’t good enough to save the jobs of GM Brian Lawton and Coach Rick Tocchet. A new owner is in town and Jeff Vinik saw the problem right away. Uncertainty, instability – an overall culture of dysfunction. So while Tocchet did an acceptable job as a new coach in not only getting a team closer to the postseason, but also turning Steve Downie into quite a player – he was part of the slate that needed to be cleaned. No real complaints about Lawton either, but to change a culture the change must be sweeping and it must start at the top. So what does all this mean in fantasy circles?
