According to a translation of an article in allhockey.ru, Alexei Yashin has re-signed a deal with Yaroslav Lokomotiv of the KHL. Do not expect him back in the NHL. Thanks to fzusher in our forum for pointing the way. Nashville's Colin Wilson, ranked 134 on my Fantasy Prospects List, has opted to return to Boston University [...]
Tampa Bay signed Steven Stamkos to a three-year deal worth just over $3.5 million per season if he reaches his bonuses. I expect him to tally around 70 points this season. The Panthers have signed Jay Bouwmeester to a one-year deal worth $4.875 million. Now that his salary is established, they can move him. The Rangers have [...]

In 2007 the team that underwent the biggest transformation was Philadelphia – by a long shot. A lot of experts still picked them to miss the playoffs (for the record, in Dobber’s 2006-07 Fantasy Guide I picked the Flyers to get in), but we all saw what happened. Not only did they get in, but they also went to the semi-final.
This year the team that has made the biggest strides is the Tampa Bay Lightning. This team took Philadelphia’s formula for success and, well, they butchered it.

The Wild have avoided a Monday arbitration hearing by inking P.M. Bouchard to a five-year, $20.4 million contract. It looks as though Brendan Shanahan wants to be back for another season. Although he still has another 55-point year left in him, you certainly should not expect more than that...and be thankful if he stays healthy [...]

Angus here. Glen Murray has cleared waivers and will be bought out. San Jose may be a good fit for him, as it would allow him to re-unite with his buddy Joe. Colin Wilson will return to BU for at least one more season. At least he didn't follow Radulov to the KHL! This just in: Mats Sundin [...]

The Red Wings have signed Darren Haydar to a one-year deal. The AHL superstar will fill the role that Hartigan filled last season - used only when needed. It's a shame no NHL team ever gave him a real chance. With what little he played for Atlanta last season, he did produce. The Sabres have signed [...]
The Ducks signed a pair of minor leaguers yesterday: former Oilers farmhand Troy Bodie and former Flame Ryan Donally. The Rangers have re-signed Hugh Jessiman, likely to a two-way contract. Daniel Carcillo has signed a two-year deal with Phoenix. Expect pretty much double the points and half the PIMs next year, with all the changes the 'Yotes [...]
