Vancouver has acquired some scoring help on the wing in Michel Ouellet, as well as some toughness on defense in Shane O'Brien. In exchange, defenseman Lukas Krajicek goes to Tampa Bay, along with prospect Juraj Simek.
Perdu dans le Repêchage Amateur de 2008, riche en défenseurs de premier plan rarement vu dans un repêchage de la LNH, un autre excellent attaquant que Steven Stamkos était disponible. Comment bon? Ceci reste à voir.
The DobberHockey Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated as of now. Washington cut Chris Bourque, Karl Alzner and Quentin Laing. Keep a close eye on the Marian Gaborik situation. From Michael Russo's blog: "I do think we're at the point though where a trade seems like a real possibility." Brett Sterling and Zach Bogosian made the cut. [...]

Lost in the fact that the 2008 Entry Draft was filled with a group of high-end defensemen rarely seen in an NHL draft, a very good non-Steven Stamkos forward was available. How good? That remains to be seen.
New Jersey made their cuts this afternoon: Fedor Fedorov, Vladimir Zharkov, Matt Halischuk, Chad Wiseman, Pascal Rheaume, Rod Pelley, Scott Clemmensen, Matt Corrente, Nicklas Bergfors among others. Also - Eckford, Fraser, Burton, Spiller, Ruggeri, Magnan, Leach, Smith, Frazee, Murphy, Swift, Steve Gionta, and Caruso. This means that Petr Vrana made the team. In the game today, [...]
The Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated to this very second. Tyler Kennedy scored twice for the Penguins today, netting the first goal as well as the game winner. He will be bumped down to the third line once Petr Sykora returns, though. The Rangers second line of Dawes-Dubinsky-Zherdev was very impressive against Tampa Bay [...]
It's October, and that means the 2009 NHL Entry Draft is just nine months away. Each month in this space until June, Bugg Bytes will toss up a brand spankin' new mock draft. Prepare for a bumpy ride as the regular season, international tourneys and playoffs wreak havoc on the stocks of players.
Unbelievable - the Ducks cut Bobby Ryan. Apparently, this move was to get them under the cap and he will be brought back up when they clear some space. Crushing news for this late-bloomer, but Janne Pesonen did not make the Penguins as noted below by Mr. Angus. In the end, as well as he played, [...]
In this case, M*A*S*H stands for Miller’s Avoidance of Seriously Hurt players from the Eastern Conference. There seems to be a rash of serious injuries going around the NHL these days. Maybe it’s just being over-reported and us, being the fantasy hockey junkies we are, start to get worried when we are constantly being bombarded with injury information.
The Fantasy Guide and Draft List are both updated to 5pm October 2nd (today). Andrew Hutchinson was a "big disappointment" according to the St. Petersburg Times. He has been placed on waivers, and has apparently cleared them. His contract is one-way, so TB will still be paying him a million bucks. The Flyers have cut Claude [...]
