We’re into August now, and that means the annual Capped Column Buy/Sell feature will be running starting next week (where from each team one player to buy-low on, and one player to sell-high on are profiled). In the meantime, we had news of a large extension drop on Monday morning, as Andrei Vasilevskiy put [...]
Getting into this point in July, most poolies don’t have their eyes on fantasy hockey. Luckily for us writers, there are still some of you crazy enough to be seeking something new in the middle of the offseason. In the spirit of keeping things interesting, we are now right in the middle of Bubble [...]
Happy Thursday everyone, and I hope you’re enjoying the summer. In the dog days between free-agent frenzy and Bubble Keeper Week, we find ourselves without much exciting to talk about, so let’s fill the space with a theoretical discussion. I have gotten the green light from the big man himself, Darryl, to put up [...]
After the madness dies down from the first few days of July, there are bargains remaining to be found in the free-agent pile. Last year we saw names such as Patrick Maroon, Tyler Ennis, and Anthony Duclair, among others, signed after the big wave, providing some very valuable production versus their cap hit. This [...]
July 1st should need no introduction. It is Canadian celebrations in full force, as well as NHL GMs tossing as much money as they can at mostly mediocre players. Looking back at previous years, we all know there are some good, but mostly bad deals signed in the first week of July. Let’s sort [...]
There weren’t any “hockey trades” during this year’s NHL draft weekend. Every trade was either focused around pure draft pick swaps, or salary cap dumps.

With the Stanley Cup and all the other hardware awarded, we’re now getting into the fun part of the offseason where teams’ plans are starting to take shape, and we’re seeing some questionable decisions already. Let’s dive into some of the moves, sort the good from the bad, and see what impact this may [...]
St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong has been in his role with the team since 2010, and has had his fair share of goalie controversies in that time. He managed Jake Allen’s contract situation very well, and that should give Blues fans confidence when looking towards the inevitable re-signing of Jordan Binnington this summer. [...]
It’s Thursday again, and that means another Capped article. This week should be a fun one, as I am finally putting out in public some of the results from my efforts to predict NHL free agent contracts. For those of you that are unaware, I have been working on this project off and on [...]
Welcome aboard for another Thursday Capped article. We’re two games into the Final now, and before we get any closer to only one team standing, I wanted to take a look into what we can learn from this year’s finalists. There are some similarities and differences between them, but both found ways to win [...]
