Here are the Top 200 prospect forwards to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - May edition! As always, players ranked within +/- 5.0 ratings of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs (wait time or upside more important?) and personal bias. o=offensive forward, t=two-way, [...]
For the 15th time in 16 years (damn lockout), I am offering a playoff draft list for your playoff pools. This will be available for download Monday (so it may be available as you read this). I had to quit working on it to write these Ramblings, but even with that minor delay I expect [...]

As always, players rated within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs or personal bias.

The Florida Panthers have acquired forward Sam Bennett from the Calgary Flames for prospect Emil Heineman and a 2022 second-round draft pick. The Panthers get: A hard-hitting player with some upside, who really steps up his game in the postseason. And it’s clear that the Panthers want to go deep, as they’ve designed their deadline [...]
The Chicago Blackhawks have traded forward Mattias Janmark and defenseman Nick DeSimone to Vegas (via San Jose), along with a fifth-round pick (to San Jose to retain some salary) for 2021 second- and a 2022 third-round picks.
