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 – [...]
Mike Babcock has resigned as the head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, with associate coach Pascal Vincent being promoted to head coach. Babcock was officially hired on July 1 and had not yet coached a game for the team. However, he ran into hot water when reports surfaced that he had viewed players’ private [...]
Since I tend to study players that I add to my team fairly closely, I’m going to discuss three players that I’ve added to my dynasty team this offseason. One of these players is Connor Bedard, who I was able to add because I won my league’s draft lottery tournament. There are already a ton [...]
In case you missed it, we’ve made some major changes to the Top 100 Roto Rankings for September. If you’re participating in any multicategory league drafts soon, I encourage you to have a look. https://twitter.com/Ian_Gooding/status/1702685723667935734 As I’ve always said, feel free to leave feedback. In making these changes, I’m hoping that we are being more [...]

If you’re on Twitter, you might be familiar with their work on player cards such as the one below. You can follow them [...]
