Tampa Bay has re-signed powerplay specialist Marc-Andre Bergeron to a two-year deal worth $1 million per. A great fit for him - he won't play all 82 games but will have fantasy relevance because he earned the trust of Guy Boucher and his staff last season. In a potential market setting move, the [...]
The 'Canes have walked away from Jiri Tlusty, not qualifying him. The Devils did qualify Alexander Vasyunov, although he has signed a contract with the KHL. The Canucks have signed Bieksa to a long-term contract. News of unqualified RFAs will continue to trickle in today - ttwo somewhat noteworthy ones - Sami [...]
San Jose's major upgrade, Smyth returns home, the slow burn in Calgary, and some free agency predictions.
Angus here again. Will have comprehensive analysis on the trades later today. My work PC doesn't allow me to do much more aside from ramble! Some tidbits: Like the Filatov trade for both sides. I have never been a fan of his, but pick 66 is a pretty low risk move to make [...]

It will take months to dissect the bitter ending to a spectacular 2010-11 season for the Vancouver Canucks. On the surface, Roberto Luongo hardly seems like the guy to blame for Vancouver’s loss against Boston. He received only eight goals of support in the seven game series, and two of his three wins were of the shutout variety. Upon closer look,a trend that has been developing over the past few years reared its ugly head once again – Luongo’s mercurial and moody off-ice personality having a negative effect on the team.
Some rumors making the rounds that Tomas Vokoun has expressed interest in playing for the Avalanche. They are one of the few teams that have a legitimate need for him and that could pony up the cash to pay him what he wants. Congrats to Team WC17 for winning the DobberHockey Playoff Pool! [...]
Absolutely huge news for Hiller owners and Duck fans - the Swiss star is expected to start skating in July. Solid read on Chris Tanev, Vancouver's poised rookie on defense. Sorry for the light ramblings today. Very late night and early morning doesn't make for a great combination. Some fantastic stuff on [...]
