It’s the last day of August, and I have already lost count of the number of mock drafts I have taken part in. It’s never too early to be getting ready for the season, so it’s a good thing we’re already more than halfway through our buy and sell series. This week we’re covering Nashville [...]
We are less than two months away from the season! To pass the time, we continue this summer’s buy and sell series. Here we run through each NHL team, and cover one player that you should be trying to get onto your fantasy team, as well as one player you should be trying to get [...]
This week brings us part two of the series of our summer Capped buy and sell. Here we run through each NHL team, and cover one player that you should be trying to get onto your fantasy team, as well as one player you should be trying to get off of your fantasy team. Teams [...]
Two years ago, Chris Pudsey took a walk through each NHL team, plucking one player that you should be trying to get onto your fantasy team, and one player you should be trying to get off of your fantasy team. For the doldrums of August, I thought this was a great topic to revive. We [...]
Last week, the Stanley Cup finalist Nashville Predators locked up their number one centreman Ryan Johansen. The two sides came to an agreement on a $64 million deal that sees Johansen in Nashville yellow for the next eight years. On the whole, General Manager David Poile has locked up the core of the team to [...]
The Restricted Free Agent (RFA) signings are starting to trickle in, and while we are still waiting on the big guns (Leon Draisaitl, David Pastrnak, etc.) there are many fantasy-relevant ones to comb over. The last few weeks have seen several similar contracts get inked by emerging players in their early twenties. However not every [...]
The madness has died down, and teams are starting to get a little more frugal with how they spend their money. The UFA pile is also down to much smaller pieces, but that doesn’t mean what’s left isn’t useful. There are plenty of intriguing names remaining, and these later signings can generally be negotiated at [...]
The first week of July saw Free Agent Frenzy come and go, but the biggest shockwaves will be felt thanks to the two massive contract extensions signed by Edmonton Oilers centre Connor McDavid, and Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. McDavid signed the fourth $100 million contract in the history of the NHL, and it was [...]
Every July 1st, the NHL’s general managers act like bargain seekers set loose in a mall on Boxing Day. They think that they can find a bargain, but in reality, most of the purchases end up being things that they didn’t need. At that point, they then have to make an effort to get rid [...]
Over the last few days, we have seen a few re-signings; some of them good, some of them not so good. The contracts to Zack Kassian (which I nailed by the way - here) and Yanni Gourde were small risk, and could provide decent reward for depth forwards. On the other hand, Esa Lindell and [...]
