The Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Ryan Johansen from the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Alex Galchenyuk. An important term to this transaction is that the Predators will be retaining half of Johansen’s $8 million cap hit for two more seasons. So this trade is about the Predators freeing up some cap space without [...]
The Devils have extended Erik Haula, signing him to a three-year contract worth $3.15 million per season. In his only season with New Jersey, Haula scored 42 points in 80 games, good for a 0.53 PTS/GP pace. That is within the range of the 0.4 to 0.6 PTS/GP that he has averaged over the past [...]
Yesterday I listed a few players who may fall down 2023-24 preseason draft rankings because they played fewer than 70 games last season. The players I had listed all finished above the point-per-game mark. Today I’ll provide six more players who could fall farther than they should for the same reason, although they finished under [...]
The first buyout of the season took place on Friday, and it was a big one! Just as the buyout window opened, the Canucks decided to part ways with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and his albatross contract. Ekman-Larsson had four more years with an $8.25 million cap hit per season. I didn’t think the Canucks would buy [...]
Congratulations to the Vegas Golden Knights for winning the Stanley Cup. I don’t know that many had the Golden Knights taking it all at the start of the playoffs (at least none of our writers did), but this was a team that had the best record in the Western Conference while finishing fourth overall. Not [...]
Now that the Stanley Cup has been handed out, the offseason begins. Since the playoffs aren’t filled with much player news, there are only minor tweaks to the Top 100 from May. Regardless, we’ve shuffled a few players, in particular goalies. As what should be a busy offseason is about to begin, expect more significant [...]
In just their sixth NHL season, the Vegas Golden Knights are one win away from a Stanley Cup. Golden Knights 3, Panthers 2 (Golden Knights lead series 3-1) Chandler Stephenson was the scoring hero for the Golden Knights in Game 4, scoring the first two goals of the game. Stephenson is now up to 10 [...]
Just when you thought the Blue Jackets couldn’t add any more defensemen, they surprised everyone by acquiring Damon Severson in a sign and trade from Columbus for a third-round pick. And he’s getting paid – eight years at $6.25 million per season. I don’t think this trade affects Severson as much as some of the [...]
It’s the year 2023. You’re watching a Stanley Cup Final that features a team from Las Vegas against a team from just outside Miami. Now imagine that you are telling this to the version of yourself from 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago (depending how far back you can go). Would you have believed [...]
Don’t forget to purchase and download your Fantasy Prospects Report, which is now available at the Dobber Sports store! I’ve combed through the profiles for players on my larger salary cap keeper team, and I’m sure many of you that have bought the guide have done the same for your teams. This team of mine [...]
