Buy the guide here! Check this out - a solid breakdown on the 70 point player and why he shouldn’t be overrated. Some interesting discussion came about, and one point was made mentioning how the guide projects more people to hit 70+ points than there were last season in the NHL. To me, [...]
The Canucks have invited Owen Nolan to training camp, as well as Todd Fedoruk. As things stand right now, I see Vancouver's lines as (that being said, I'd bet my bottom dollar the team makes a trade before camp): Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Sturm-Hodgson-Samuelsson Higgins-Malhotra-Hansen Oreskovich-Lapierre-Nolan/Bitz Nolan, aside from looking like he [...]
Yesterday and today have been editing days for the 2011-12 Fantasy Guide. Will be out on Monday. More information than ever, of course. Pick your copy up here. Updated daily/weekly until puck drop in October. Jason Botchford weighs in on the Canucks, who aren’t done making moves with some cap space still there. [...]
Today is editing day for the 2011-12 Fantasy Guide. Will be out on Monday. More information than ever, of course. Pick your copy up here. Updated daily/weekly until puck drop in October. Ryan Miller is looking forward to playing less in 2011-12. "Miller said he's the kind of person who benefits from a [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Devils have cleared some cap space, trading Brian Rolston away for winger Trent Hunter. Rolston's cap hit this season is $5 million (free agent next summer), while Hunter is scheduled to make $2 million each season for two more.
Canucks are close to announcing MacT as the next coach of the Chicago Wolves. Grooming him as a future Vigneault replacement down the road, perhaps? Either way, I think this is a great move for the organization. Anaheim prospect/goaltender John Gibson has bolted from college for the OHL. He was supposed to start [...]
I have a few general rules when it comes to building a team in a fantasy hockey keeper league. One of the more important ones is to not plan beyond a two or three year window. You are not building a real NHL club, and too often fantasy hockey poolies place an emphasis on youth and prospects over proven veterans with gas still left in the tank. So using my general rule, take a look at your team(s). Can you realistically say you will have a shot at winning the league at some point within the next two or three seasons? If not, time to scrap the rebuild and start adding proven NHL talent.
Fantasy Impact: Columbus has signed left winger Vinny Prospal to a one-year contract worth $1.75 million (with bonuses that push the deal up to $2.6 million).
Some of the best glove saves of all time - the Nabokov save on Richards from 2008 is still the best save I have ever seen in live action. Saturday ramblings up early – I’ll have some more stuff added throughout the course of the day. I’m knee deep in my writing [...]
Yashin's agent Mark Gandler told a Russian paper that they are negotiating with one NHL team - the Islanders. I'm not sure if he is being serious or not, but the hilarity of a Yashin to Long Island return would know no bounds. Would he get paid more than he currently is NOT to [...]
