This week, I’m going to look at teams in the Western Conference and review players set to become free agents on July 1st or at the end of 2025-26. We will also see how much cap space each team has with the salary cap increasing to $95.5 million in 2025-26. We will attempt to look [...]
This week, I’m going to look back at some of my pre-season rookie candidates from a Wild West article in early October 2024. I only included rookies from Western teams, breaking down the rookies into dark horses and front-runners. Dark Horses: Calle Clang - Anaheim Ducks (G) - (0-0-0-0-0) I thought Clang might get a [...]

Most people had their playoff pools this weekend, so this might be a refresher for players you ended up with. We will post what each player has produced [...]

I will be relying a little on my player-game ratings as they give me a simple number to compare against. An average player rating for [...]

Last year around this time, I wrote about which players drove play the most and the least on each team in the West. I relied on IPP (Individual Points Percentage) and secondary assists, which is a very simplistic way to determine the players, but it has some validity. IPP is the percentage of on-ice goals [...]
Last week we wrote about what each team in the Western Conference might do at the trade deadline. This week we will write about what each team in the West actually did. I’m going to include trades that have been made since the beginning of 2025. Prices were high in the days leading up to [...]
