Erik Christensen will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He will be sidelined until September. Manitoba won its ninth straight game yesterday, topping Houston in the AHL [...]

Part 4 in a four-part look at those players who may have played their last game for their respective team and what a move will mean from a fantasy hockey standpoint.
Jim Balsillie stated in a newsletter today that he would be open to keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix if a quick move would in any way jeopardize NHL scheduling. That addresses one of the NHL's protests that they submitted to the judge. In the first game of the Memorial Cup, Dallas prospect Jamie Benn and [...]
As a group, the panel was 2-2 last round. Ironically, the only person to choose Chicago was Mapletree Marty - who got the other three series wrong! Chris Boyle (Top 100 roto-rankings), Tom Reeve (Looking Ahead) and Justin Goldman (School of Block) lead the prognosticators with a 9-3 record. As a group, the DobberHockey Panel is 9-3.

The French version of the Prospects Report is now available for preorder in the Shop. The French Keeper League pack will be on there soon... Erik Christensen was a healthy scratch for the Ducks last night. Sergei Gonchar skated during an optional practice yesterday. He did nothing strenuous though and frankly I would be surprised [...]
Petr Sykora continues to be a healthy scratch, although given the fact that the team finally lost last night, he may replace Satan. Satan has been playing well though. The Sabres signed prospect Tyler Myers to an entry-level deal. He is ranked 278 on my prospects list, which is 20th among prospect defensemen. He is profiled [...]
There are rumblings in the Anaheim area that Giguere could start Game 6. The Ducks are probably trying to play some mind games, I don't see them not starting Hiller. Scott Walker could possibly be suspended - or at least the Bruins are calling for it - for his punch to the face of Aaron [...]
