The Florida Panthers have signed left wing Anthony Duclair to a one-year contract worth $1.7 million. The well-travelled Duclair will be joining his sixth NHL team, having already played for the NY Rangers, Arizona, Chicago, Columbus, and Ottawa. His 23 goals with the Senators in 2019-20 was a career high, so he has proven recently [...]
Coming up to fantasy drafts that should happen within the next 30 days (barring any further delays), there haven’t been a ton of changes throughout the Roto Rankings. However, as fantasy owners in single-season leagues decide who their first pick will be, there have been some changes within the top 10. Most notably, after further [...]
On Saturday, Team USA announced its roster for the World Juniors. Do you think this roster can knock off the host Canada? Looks like a solid group of forwards, especially on right wing. https://twitter.com/usahockey/status/1337774288393342976 One notable omission is Leafs top prospect Nick Robertson, who will be staying in Toronto to attend Leafs camp. Dave Hall [...]
I find this NHL realignment for COVID topic very interesting. For starters, it’s brought up the idea of a permanent Canadian division. I’ve gone on record as saying that I’m against it permanently for travel reasons, but I’d love to see it play out this season only. It’ll be like Hockey Day in Canada – [...]
When I posted the tweet below, I didn’t realize it would get as much attention as it did. I guess so many of my Twitter followers can relate to this. https://twitter.com/Ian_Gooding/status/1334992241027235841 A few people have reached out to me, curious to find out why I said this and what exactly happened. Since the issue has [...]
A positive anything is always better than a negative nothing. That’s why hockey fans should welcome the news that the NHL and NHLPA have discussed a mid-January start with either a 52-game or 56-game schedule. Training camps would start in early January, although the teams that didn’t play in the postseason would be able to [...]
With the NHL highly unlikely to be restarting on January 1 (in spite of Gary Bettman’s recent comments suggesting otherwise), the recent report from Elliotte Friedman suggesting that four teams are exploring the possibility of outdoor games seems at least somewhat interesting. I mean, if a baseball stadium like Fenway Park doesn’t work, then there [...]
I know that I mention Frozen Tools a ton in my writing. It’s now my go-to site for everything from the usual statistics to the unconventional. Quite frankly I would be at a loss for topics to write about during an extended offseason. What makes Frozen Tools interesting is the choices beyond the usual stat [...]

My keeper league auction draft started last weekend. In case you’re wondering why it didn’t finish in an evening, it is because bids are placed via private forum and must stand for 72 hours before the player can be claimed. I believe this is what the guys over at Keeping Karlsson call a slow draft. [...]
