Angus’ Prime Cuts 08-09 – Part 3 of 5
To make the team, a player must show something beyond the stat sheet. Similar to TSN broadcaster Pierre McGuire's annual “Monsters Team,” the Prime Cuts squad is chalk-full of intangibles such as heart, determination, hockey IQ, two-way play, grit, and clutch scoring ability. Most of the players on this squad are also under appreciated (in both fantasy and real hockey circles). There are obviously some big stars on this team – the usual suspects – but there are also some under-the-radar players who you may not have noticed this season.

Angus’ Prime Cuts 08-09 – Part 1 of 5
I thoroughly enjoyed putting together the 2007-2008 Prime Cuts squad. To make the team, a player must show something beyond the stat sheet. Similar to TSN broadcaster Pierre McGuire's annual “Monsters Team,” the Prime Cuts squad is chalk-full of intangibles such as heart, determination, hockey IQ, two-way play, grit, and clutch scoring ability. Most of the players on this squad are also under appreciated (in both fantasy and real hockey circles). There are obviously some big stars on this team – the usual suspects – but there are also some under-the-radar players who you may not have noticed this season for whatever reason. (How's that for a rhyme?) Starting today, a section of the team will be released to DobberHockey every few days until the regular season wraps up, when the full roster will be completed.

Five Sleeper Defensemen
The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching, which means that your keeper league trade deadline is doing the same. It is around this time in the season that you must make the tough decision of deciding whether to go for it this year, or to sell off some assets and build for the future. If you are not in a position to win right now, moving proven, veteran talent for young, unproven talent is the way to go. Building at the deadline is extremely crucial to any future fantasy successes, and it helps to have information on some young players who may not be getting the acclaim and press that they deserve. These players are often referred to as “sleepers” or “darkhorses.” Whatever you want to call them, they often are the difference between winning and losing.
Team Canada in 2010 Version 2.0
Last June I wrote this piece on my ideas for the Canadian Olympic roster for the 2010 Games in Vancouver. Yesterday's debut of Pierre McGuire's roster picks inspired me to update my selections. Over the past nine months quite a bit has changed, and my updated roster will reflect that.
