The offseason is all about opportunity, but every trade and free-agent signing also creates a few fantasy losers. While some players on this list have seen their fantasy value take another hit after already dealing with declining roles, others are younger players whose path to fantasy relevance became more difficult because of new additions around [...]
We’re back with Part 2 of our power-play quarterback series, taking a closer look at the defensemen expected to run each team's man advantage heading into the season. For fantasy managers, power-play deployment can often be the difference between a breakout season and a disappointing one, making these roles some of the most important to [...]
Pavel Mintyukov's five year, $7.4 million AAV extension is a bet on upside more than current production. The 21-year-old has shown flashes of being a dynamic puck mover with offensive instincts and the ability to transition the puck efficiently, but his defensive game remains a work in progress. Those flashes were more evident early in [...]
Mason Marchment’s move to San Jose gives the Sharks the kind of veteran winger they’ve been missing. Signed to a five-year deal at $7 million annually, he should step into a top-six role and see time alongside either Macklin Celebrini or Michael Misa. His game is a strong fit for what San Jose is building [...]

The Carolina Hurricanes captured their second Stanley Cup in franchise history and first since 2006 with a convincing 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6. After trailing 3-0 midway through Game 3 of the Final, Carolina responded by winning four of the next five games to secure the championship. The Hurricanes finished [...]
The Los Angeles Kings officially ended their coaching search by hiring former New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette. He steps in after a year away from coaching following his stint with the Rangers. From a fantasy hockey perspective, this should be viewed as a net positive for most of the Kings’ key offensive pieces. [...]
Utah Mammoth prospect Vadim Moroz signed a two-year ELC with the Mammoth through the 2027-28 season. Moroz's offensive production dipped in the KHL last year as Dynamo Minsk added veteran talent but he still produced at a respectable rate. Moroz’s move to North America should help his game develop, giving him an opportunity to adjust [...]
Another quiet night on the NHL slate with no games on tap as we inch closer to the Stanley Cup Final, set to kick off June 2nd with the Vegas Golden Knights taking on the Carolina Hurricanes. With the schedule light, we’ll get right into it and continue the series, once again using the NHL [...]
