Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope you can enjoy a Guinness or a green beer or your beverage of choice sometime today, and that your fantasy week has been as lucky as a four-leaf clover. The NHL has suspended Jordan Binnington for two games as a result of his antics from Wednesday’s game against Minnesota. In [...]
It’s hard to believe that there’s only one month left in the regular season. Some leagues have already started their playoffs, while others will be soon to follow. Either way, we’re rounding into the home stretch, which in redraft leagues increases the number of reasonable options and decreases the number of players you need to [...]
Because of another commitment this evening, I’m posting this an hour or two later than I normally do. If you live in a time zone where the clocks move ahead one hour, then it’s going to be like 2-3 hours behind the normal time. Hopefully better late than never, and hopefully your internal clock can [...]
Remember when the Flyers were picked as a Stanley Cup favorite in the 2020 bubble? They’ve free-fallen considerably since then, first replacing the coach and now the GM Chuck Fletcher. Injuries have piled up since then to key players like Sean Couturier, Ryan Ellis, and Cam Atkinson (among others), but the Flyers did not have [...]
In the Lightning’s 5-3 loss to the Sabres, Jon Cooper decided to send his stars a message, benching Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Brayden Point for the entire third period. After the game, Cooper said that the three weren’t giving the Lightning their best chance to win. All three had made the scoresheet earlier in [...]
If you took the day off work to watch the hours of coverage from one of the sports networks that covers the NHL, hopefully you enjoyed the singing, acting, trivia, endless panel discussions, and other filler during that time. Although there were a couple of fantasy-relevant trades and many other minor deals, this trade deadline [...]
The Anaheim Ducks have traded defenseman John Klingberg to the Minnesota Wild for a fourth-round pick in 2025, defenseman Andrej Sustr, and the rights to Nikita Nesterenko. The Wild receive: Klingberg, in a trade that was submitted to the league right before the 3 pm ET horn sounded. Klingberg was signed to a one-year, $7 [...]
The St. Louis Blues have acquired forward Jakub Vrana from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Dylan McLaughlin and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025. The Blues receive: Vrana, a potential top-6 winger who has scored at between 0.7-0.75 PTS/GP over his previous three seasons. More recently, Vrana had been sidelined by shoulder [...]
We’ve gotten so used to boring trade deadlines, so at least you can say this season has been a fun deadline with all the deals that started to flow in last weekend. Although the big names like Patrick Kane, Timo Meier, and Jakob Chychrun have all been moved, I wonder if today will have a [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Mikael Granlund from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2023 second-round draft pick. The Penguins receive: Granlund, a playmaking assist-heavy forward who can play either center or wing. He should initially be penciled in on the Penguins’ third line but could move up to one of the top [...]
