Rumours are swirling about the availability of Erik Karlsson in a trade. Guys this good simply do not come available so you could almost say that no price is too hefty to pay. However, the biggest rumour out there is Karlsson for Brayden Point + other assets, which I don’t think the Lightning should [...]
I’ve spent a good chunk of time slagging the Islanders’ goalies in this space, but let’s take some time to talk about how porous the defense has been as well. Over the past 18 games, the Islanders haven’t allowed fewer than 32 SOG in a single game and have allowed over 35 SOG 15 [...]
If you’re like me, you desperately want to see the All-Star draft return. It’s probably never coming back as the players hated it, but considering the NBA has started to dip their toes into the water we could see it sparked up again. My fresh idea to remove some of the angst of the [...]
Jaden Schwartz did make his return for St. Louis last night. He skated 18:22 on a line with Brayden Schenn and Alex Steen along with top power play unit time. No points, but it’s safe to say he’s back in business. Just in time for Schenn who has goals in four straight games. Alex [...]
The Blackhawks line shuffling may never end. I won’t list their lines from last night. You can dig that up on FrozenPool. Plus, they’ll probably change come next week. What we can say is that Artem Anisimov is back and locked in as the net-front man on their top power play unit. The only [...]
10 in a row for the Avalanche! TEN! Jonathan Bernier has been in net for nine of those and is on an astronomical roll. I still want to see what happens to his numbers when this team’s streak finally ends, but he has been awfully useful for fantasy owners. There’s also the matter of [...]
As much as the condensed bye week setup was supposed to spare teams from having to go against active opponents coming off their bye we saw five games pitting rusty teams against active teams. Tampa Bay, Ottawa, Buffalo, Washington and Columbus all came off their bye last night and faced teams that had their [...]
The latest attempt by the Canadiens to fill their void at the center position saw Jacob de la Rose between Alex Galchenyuk and Jonathan Drouin. It was only one game, against a quality opponent, but it’s no surprise that this didn’t work. De la Rose was once a promising prospect, but in over 80 [...]
The Avalanche continue to roll, now winners of seven straight games. Jonathan Bernier has been in net for six in a row, making him impossible to ignore. With Semyon Varlamov out until after the All-Star break, you know he will offer starts. Bernier remains available in 65% of Yahoo leagues and could be a [...]
Kyle Okposo is heading into Buffalo’s bye week on a hot streak having scored five points in two games. It’s no secret as to why this was the case. Okposo was bumped up to play with Jack Eichel the past two games. Eichel is the only one producing much of anything these days, including [...]
