The Fantasy Guide - my eighth - is now ready for download. Enjoy! * It has come to my attention that for the past few days people have had problems purchasing the Keeper League Pack. I have fixed the issue (I would have sooner, but I didn't know about it). Should be okay now, let [...]
The Panthers signed Scott Gomez to a one-year deal reportedly worth $900K. Pretty inconsequential as far as fantasy goes since it’s been quite some time since Gomez was relevant in that area, but he does provide some veteran leadership to Florida. * It might sound crazy to some, but I think Jarome Iginla has [...]
* Notable RFAs still un-signed - Hodgson, Stepan, Kadri, Pietrangelo. The Rangers are in a bit of a bind. They don't have much cap space but would love to lock up Stepan long term. With the cap temporarily dropping this year, I could see them trying to give Stepan a one-year "prove [...]
Ryan McDonagh has established himself as an elite defensive defenseman. It's time for him to do the same as an offensive defenseman.

According to the director of the Swedish National Team, the IIHF disciplinary committee will submit their decision in writing in a couple of weeks. * Sometimes nuggets [...]

Florida forward Drew Shore is ready for big things as he heads into his sophomore season.
* My fantasy hockey mailbag is open for a few days - ask away here! * Nathan Gerbe lands in Carolina with a one-year, two-way deal. I love this fit for him - he should easily make the team over the likes of Bowman, Dalpe, and so on. Gerbe is [...]
* Not a lot of breaking news today, but still lots of hockey to get to. Read on for some thoughts on the Ducks, Luongo, Edmonton’s center situation, paying Pietrangelo, and more. * An interesting look at Roberto Luongo – perhaps the silence from his camp isn’t golden? And it was [...]
