Goldie here. A sneak peek at my newest feature - NHL Depth Charts. I think you will like this. If you have comments or suggestions just drop them in the School of Block forums! More to come on Monday. Oh, and Matt Zaba has signed to play in Europe, I believe in Italy. [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Maple Leafs have acquired defenseman Matt Lashoff from Tampa Bay for two prospects.
A guarantee – Jakub Voracek will break the 80-point mark at some point over the next three seasons. If I were a Wings fan, I'd be a bit concerned about the lack of mobility on the back end (especially with Kronwall still banged up). The Blues, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks, and especially the Predators [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Los Angeles Kings have signed defensive defenseman Willie Mitchell to a two-year contract worth $3.5 million per season.

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.
