Ramblings: Reimer, Jokinen, Trouba, Vrbata and more (Feb. 21) *** It was Family Day, a holiday in Ontario on Monday. And what I noticed was the huge uptick in trade talks. Three different leagues and four offers from four different owners. Anyway, I didn’t notice that before (or at least I don’t remember it), but [...]
Ramblings: Klefbom, Vermette, Miller, Guentzel and more (Feb. 15) *** J.T. Miller is on his second seven-game point streak of the season. Between he, Kevin Hayes and Chris Kreider all breaking out at the same time, the Rangers have completely compensated for the decline of Rick Nash and Henrik Lundqvist. * Evgeni Malkin returned last [...]
Ramblings: Barrie returns, Price flounders, Labanc’s linemates and more (Feb 13) *** Tyson Barrie was back in the lineup for Colorado and despite that, Mark Barberio still saw the most PP time (3:10). Barberio has two points in five games since being traded to the Avs, with just five shots on goal, so he’s running [...]

“Uncle!” I cried, to Michael Grabner after he potted his second goal last night. Fine. His regression will come next season. October, it is. Apparently this season he's immortal. * Kevin Hayes was back in the lineup about a week early. How many of you benched him for this week? Offensively, this team seems unbeatable [...]
Ramblings: Fabbri out, Panthers’ defensemen, Larsson rounding out his game and more (Feb 6) *** Robby Fabbri is out for the season with a torn ACL. Playoffs too. He’s expected back in time for training camp – so you know when they add that little note, it’s pretty damn serious. Fabbri was having a great [...]
The Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only fantasy hockey keeper leagues - February edition. This list was curated from the full Top 300 players list that was posted yesterday.
