Washington Post's Tarik El-Bashir is reporting in his blog that Nicklas Backstrom sprained his ankle yesterday when he collided with the goal. It is too soon to know if he will miss time, but he can walk on it gingerly. In a small case of "I told you so", the Detroit News is now reporting that [...]
Montreal has given up on Mats Sundin and have shipped the 2010 second-round pick that they acquired in an earlier trade (Mikhail Grabovski) to Chicago for Robert Lang.
Chicago has traded Robert Lang to the Habs for a 2nd round pick in 2010. I will have an analysis on this one probably tomorrow morning. I just finished my writeup/ analysis/ commentary for last night's Expert Roto Draft. It is in the guide but needs formatting, converting and translation. I need a break, so the [...]
Paul Kelly, head of the NHLPA, was on the Bill Watters Show on AM640 last night (where I make an appearance every Tuesday at 5:40pm - FYI). Kelly had something to say regarding Alexander Radulov: "I have spoken to both the player and his agent and he made a decision... and now we are working [...]
The NHL has made a formal offer to arbitrate the Radulov case with the KHL on Monday. There is talk - and this is just some radio buzz - but there is talk that Alexander Radulov is having second thoughts. He's 21, and a lot of people that age really aren't sure what they want [...]

Last season, only one NHL team (Columbus) scored fewer goals than the New York Islanders. So why you ask, should you even consider selecting someone who plays in Long Island when some consider it to be a fantasy wasteland? Now I can hear some of you snickering, but there are some decent selections on the Isles if you happen to be in a deeper draft.
Is this the final dead hockey Sunday of 2008? Hockey drafts are starting to take place now, but the hockey news is still slow. That should pick up when training camps open. All that's out there now is gossip - hockey fans and hockey writers gossiping like a group of old ladies over tea. Schneider [...]
Ken Campbell reports that the KHL has withdrawn their grievance regarding Filatov, Tikhonov, F. Fedorov, Krog and Mojzis. Furthermore, they have agreed to have the Radulov dispute settled by a third party. You can read the full article HERE .
