The Salary Cap League Rankings are here! All of the top 200 skaters. **** The Rangers’ top blueliner Adam Fox adds a Norris trophy to his list of accolades along with king of the cap rankings. The top names on the list haven’t changed much since the last update, but there has been some movement, [...]
The contract projections are further down the page, but in the meantime I’m going to go over my Seattle thoughts before all of this is outdated in less than a day. I made a prior run-through a couple months ago, but a few things have changed since then. My selection list (without any side deals [...]
In a three-team blockbuster, the Vegas Golden Knights took advantage of their sideline status from the expansion draft, while the Predators and the Flyers firmed up their positions. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1416477531906134022 Nashville downgraded Ryan Ellis on defence to Philippe Myers, while adding a young centre in need of a new home. They then flipped that centre for [...]
We’re in the fun part of the offseason now where every day there seems to be a little bit of news, and the big events are looking in the foreground. The schedule is a little off this year, and additionally condensed with an expansion draft added to the schedule. Speaking of, yesterday was the deadline [...]
The Montreal Canadiens live to fight another day, and that means we aren’t in full offseason mode quite yet. However, game four already covered in yesterday’s Ramblings, and there really isn’t a huge amount of fantasy relevant discussion points to suck out of a Stanley Cup Final series. Josh Anderson is good for now, especially [...]
It turns out we saw the last Tuesday night game of the 2020-21 season without knowing it, so I have to wait until the fall before commenting on live hockey again. That being said, it’s going to be a busy summer, and there will be no shortage of news. * https://twitter.com/twelcher15/status/1409914240819941380 How’s that for a [...]
Vegas decided to go with Marc-Andre Fleury in net on Tuesday, and even in spite of the gaffe from game three, it’s tough to argue against it. Both he and Lehner deserve to be leading a team through the final four, but there’s only room for one guy in the crease at a time. The [...]
As much as everyone says that the Islanders are no fun to watch, they do provide some entertaining games. They’re not on the Vegas or Colorado level of speed or skill, but they’re not lacking too much in either. They play a very physical game, and they know how to create chances even against a [...]
Last night we had two games between what I consider to be the top-four cup contenders. Unfortunately, only two of them can move on, in the early game last year’s champs found a way to win, and in the late game, Vegas pulled out the OT thriller. * Down 3-1 in the series entering last [...]
My updated top-200 contract projections are below. This is a Ramblings article though, so there are a few other thoughts I want to touch on before I get to the contract numbers. * The Vezina nominees were revealed yesterday: https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1399746429116207107 In my (perhaps slightly biased) opinion, Juuse Saros should have been nominated here. No offence [...]
