With many teams, it’s a matter of picking between one goalie or the other. Yet with the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights, both can be rostered in fantasy leagues. After Adin Hill was in net for a 4-1 win over Seattle on opening night, Logan Thompson also picked up a win with the same [...]
The Minnesota Wild have signed Ryan Hartman to a three-year extension with a $4 million AAV. After scoring an outlier 34 goals and 65 points in 2021-22, Hartman fell to just 15 goals and 37 points in 59 games last season. Over a full season, he still would have reached 50 points, so there’s still [...]
With the puck about to drop on the 2023-24 season, our writers weigh in on their predictions for both player and team awards and accomplishments. Brief observations: The Edmonton Oilers are all over both our player and team picks. From a player standpoint, Connor McDavid is the clear favorite for both the Hart Trophy and [...]
At this time of year there’s a ton of injury and roster cut news to sift through, so I’ll try to pull out the most fantasy-relevant stories. Jared Spurgeon is currently listed as week-to-week with an upper-body injury (possibly a shoulder injury) suffered in Thursday’s preseason game. Spurgeon has been an underrated fantasy defenseman for [...]
Just days after agreeing to a new contract with Trevor Zegras, the Ducks have signed Jamie Drysdale to a three-year contract worth $6.9 million. Drysdale missed all but eight games last season because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He’s a potential deep sleeper in fantasy drafts because of his offensive upside and [...]
Alex Killorn is expected to miss the next 4 to 6 weeks because of a fractured finger from Wednesday’s preseason game. Killorn was Anaheim’s major free agent signing this offseason, earning a four-year contract worth $6.25 million per season. Since the season starts in about a week and a half, you can probably adjust that [...]
The Minnesota Wild extended two of their notable forwards on Friday. First, Mats Zuccarello agreed to a two-year extension with a cap hit of $4.125 million. His five-year contract worth $6 million is set to expire after this season. Zuccarello is now 36 years old, which explains why his pay decreases in spite of some [...]
Those who recently drafted Andrei Vasilevskiy (not to mention those in keeper leagues) were dealt some unexpected bad luck on Thursday, as he will reportedly miss 8-10 weeks following back surgery. Vasilevskiy was considered a top-5 goalie in many preseason rankings, but obviously that is no longer the case. The 8-10-week timeline means that Vasilevskiy [...]
I made a recent appearance on the Fantasy Hockey Hacks podcast. Give it a listen! We discussed a lot of fantasy hockey content, including some topics of the day and listener questions. As well, we rank and project top 10s for both centers and wingers. Always great chatting with Devon and Bruce. https://twitter.com/FHHacks/status/1705665119936807053 I’ll also [...]
The Canucks and Canadiens agreed to a mid-level trade earlier this week, with the Canucks sending Tanner Pearson and a 2025 third-round pick to the Habs for Casey DeSmith. This trade is interesting on a number of levels. First, Pearson played only 14 games last season because he had a fairly significant hand injury – [...]
