Pierre-Marc Bouchard will avoid arbitration, as he has signed a one-year deal with the Wild. The Isles have signed Mike Comrie. He'll be their No.1 center whether he's good enough or not. He won't be lining up with any superstars, so 70 points is out of reach for him yet again. I can see 65 though, [...]
Jeremy Roenick is reportedly set to retire. One of the best fantasy players in the game a decade ago, but has never really maintained his fantasy stud title since leaving Chicago. I would love to see someone replace him, mouth-wise though... Check out Angus Unleashed tonight (my blog on the Dobber Forum), I'll be giving my [...]
The Lightning have signed Brad Lukowich to a three-year deal, bringing him back into the fold. The Oilers have a beef with the Nylander signing. I'm sure you have all seen it on tsn.ca. My position is that nobody will trust the agent again, it was a shitty thing to do...but obviously the signing will stick. [...]
Hope the ramblings have been good for everyone. I've been fairly quick on most signings, usually checking TSN.ca pretty often. I'll be internetless from tomorrow evening onwards for a few days, but I'll be able to update whatever happens tonight/tomorrow morning. Jarome Iginla has inked a five-year, $35 million dollar extension. Sutter is busy today. Word [...]
Jason Blake has signed with the Leafs on a five year deal worth $4 million per season. The Capitals have signed Russian pivot Viktor Kozlov. His fantasy value immediately goes up. The Rangers made two HUGE moves, signing both Scott Gomez and Chris Drury. Both contracts are for a bit over $7 million per season (average), with [...]
Manny Fernandez has been dealt to the Boston Bruins. In exchange for his services, the Wild acquired prospect Peter Kalus and a draft pick. Jason Allison is ready to return to the NHL. In an interview with the Canadian Press, he has stated that he was hoping to go to one of a select few [...]
Note: Angus and Burnsy will be covering the UFA signings from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday morning as I will be out of Internet range. I will also hold off on updating the fantasy rankings until July 4, because of all the UFA signings that are bound to happen and impact them. There will be no [...]
Word on the street is that Burnsy is about to return, and he's gonna be edgier and moreopinionated than ever before. Keep your eyes peeled for Third Degree Burns V 2.0 ... coming to a kick ass site near you soon.
Just my opinion, but Igor Larionov should be inducted into the Hall of Fame instead of Scott Stevens. Since the HHOF insists that it can allow no more than four players per year (the rule should be more flexible, but I digress), then Stevens should be the one waiting a year, and not a former [...]
As keeper league hockey pools increase in number each year, fantasy junkies become more active in the off-season as they prepare their team for the coming year. Rebuild? Retool? Tweak? Whatever your intentions, it helps to get all the information you can about your players.
Throughout the off-season, FPL will look at a pair of teams each week and give you the fantasy lowdown. Bucking the trend of past years, we will review alphabetically – in reverse. Just to be different.
