Jake Allen has signed a two-year extension with a $3.85 AAV, which is set to kick in next season. That’s a slight raise on his $2.875 million cap hit, if you are in a cap league. With Carey Price’s career very much in doubt, Allen seems like the number one goalie for the Canadiens for [...]
According to Sam Carchidi of PHI Hockey Now, Carter Hart says he’ll be ready for the Flyers’ opening-night game on October 13. Hart has been taking shots at practice, but he has still not been cleared for contact drills. Hart’s injury has not been stated, although it’s worth mentioning that he was shut down with [...]
Rasmus Sandin and the Leafs have finally agreed on a contract, a two-year deal with a $1.4 million cap hit. Injuries on defense may have expedited the signing (more on that in a bit). In the end, Sandin has signed a contract with the same cap hit and term as fellow young d-man Timothy Liljegren. [...]
Since Andrew Copp is expected to miss at least the first week of the regular season due to abdominal surgery, Michael Rasmussen has been centering the scoring line of Jakub Vrana and David Perron. This may not be a long-term placement for Rasmussen, but it is an opportunity nonetheless as he enters his fourth NHL [...]

To follow up on my recent analysis of ADPs, a Twitter follower messaged me about Mark Scheifele’s ADP being as low as it is because of his decreased value in multicategory leagues relative to points-only leagues. True, Scheifele is more valuable in points leagues. In fact, Dobber has him projected to be a top-25 scorer. [...]
Whether it is the first step in major player personnel changes or simply pressing the reset button, the Winnipeg Jets have decided not to have a team captain in 2022-23, removing the captaincy from Blake Wheeler. The 36-year-old Wheeler has two seasons left on a contract that pays just over $8 million per season, so [...]
In case you missed it, I made my first-ever appearance on the Keeping Karlsson podcast on Sunday. Elan wanted to discuss the Fantasy Guide and a few particular projections, and I was more than happy to oblige. You can listen to an audio-only version of the podcast here, or you can watch it on video [...]
September brings drafts, whether they be real drafts or simply mock drafts. During this time, we get a better idea of what a player’s value is to those who actually pick the players. Many of the adjustments to the Roto Rankings this month are related to ADP (average draft position). Hopefully these rankings will help [...]
The Kings took care of some business on Saturday, signing Mikey Anderson to a one-year contract worth $1 million. Anderson recorded eight points in 57 games for Los Angeles last season. That means eight RFAs that played games last season remain unsigned, according to Chris Johnston. According to Cap Friendly, those RFAs include the following [...]
