The Rangers joined in the trade party today by sending a few picks to Seattle for Alex Wennberg, who fills in as a much-needed third-line centre for them. This may not be all they get done, as forward depth is a big need for the Rangers, but it’s a good first step. Here are the [...]
Edmonton boasts one of the best schedules in the stretch run of the season, so them acquiring Adam Henrique makes him an immediate target for fantasy managers. Getting him and Sam Carrick for draft picks hints that we could see another move from them as they do have depth players and prospects that could be [...]
The Florida Panthers added to an already stacked roster on paper, taking one of the top offensive options off the trade board in their deal to acquire Vladimir Tarasenko from the Senators. The Sens received two picks in exchange, and while the return looks underwhelming, it sounds as though Tarasenko’s trade protection played a big [...]
The season of “trade related” healthy-scratches in upon us. https://twitter.com/AlisonL/status/1764736522597916851 If you have any players that are close to the rumour mill, be ready for them to sit out the next day or two, at least until the Friday deadline is passed. If you’re looking ahead to goalie starts, don’t expect any of Jacob Markstrom, [...]
The Calgary Flames shipped out Chris Tanev to the Dallas Stars, possibly opening the floodgates on the rental defenceman market around the NHL. For a sought-after right-shot defenceman, it is surprising that they weren’t able to get a first round pick in return. Here is the deal, with the Flames retaining 50% of Tanev’s cap [...]
As the NHL and fantasy hockey trade deadlines approach, two teams that you want to focus on are the Penguins and the Oilers. They have each played only 56 games as of today, and have some top offensive talent to look into as you try to get ahead in your league’s arms race. Whether it’s [...]
Nico Daws got another start, and in a game that could have affording him much more leash through to the trade deadline, but instead Alex Ovechkin (two goals, one assist, two hits, and four shots) and the Capitals turned back the clock to the early 2010s and put up a six-spot on him. If that [...]
New York and Pennsylvania were hit with one of their biggest snow storms in the last number of years yesterday, and foremost we do just want everyone to be safe. On a fantasy hockey note though, it does mean we could see a couple of delays and/or postponements of games due to travel issues, so [...]
Last night saw many teams restart after the All-Star break, and after a couple trades leading up to the festivities, we get to start seeing the fallout in game action now. Elias Lindholm and Andrei Kuzmenko each made their debuts with their new teams, and each made an excellent first impression by scoring in the [...]
The Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks swung a big intra-division trade, that saw Elias Lindholm as the big piece land in Vancouver. It’s not the first time this season the two have swung a deal, and that familiarity likely helped get this one across the line. Andrei Kuzmenko’s no-trade clause could have held this up, [...]
