This week's Capped analyzes the last week in hockey, discussing what changed for cap league managers. **** After having to write up covering the “big” deal between Detroit and Pittsburgh two weeks ago that saw fourth line players and draft picks swapped, Sunday’s blockbuster three-way deal was quite refreshing. The hockey world is still trying [...]
This week's Capped looks into some rookies burning a year off of their entry deals, and what fantasy managers should expect moving forward. Every year the NHL seems to be getting younger. Maybe it’s true, or maybe it’s just that they stay the same age while we keep getting older. Either [...]
Saturday saw the first trade of the 2017-2018 season that didn’t involve a goalie.

While we’re at it, we’ll go through a little bit about why they may actually be put in a position to succeed [...]
With the six-week buy and sell series complete, we covered two players from every team, but in doing so, we missed quite a few happenings in the hockey world. With fantasy draft season upon us, and only two more weeks until the season, let’s get caught up before leagues really start to shift into high [...]
Here it is, the final installment of this summer’s buy and sell. It has taken us through the doldrums of August, and now leaves us wanting more, waiting impatiently for the beginning of the season to arrive.
