With the likely departures of both Mike Hoffman and Evgenii Dadonov, the Florida Panthers are starting down the barrel of replacing 60 goals a season. That is really tough to do internally, and likely can’t even be done externally without a couple monster UFA signings. This isn’t that, but Vinnie Hinostroza is off to Florida [...]
A year after being bought out by the Rangers, Kevin Shattenkirk went and won a Stanley Cup with the Lightning. That did wonders for his image in the league as he’s now signed with the Anaheim Ducks for three years with an AAV just under $4M. He goes to a team that has been bad [...]
It was a matter of where he’d end up and for how long, not if he’d be in the NHL, and Alex Wennberg is heading to Florida on a one-year deal with a $2.25M AAV. This comes following his buyout in Columbus earlier in the week. Let's break down what it means for the Panthers. [...]
One of the secrets of fantasy hockey is that Minnesota has been probably the best place for goalies to play for years now, or at least on the shortlist. Their system, it seems regardless of coach, does a very good job of forcing shots to the outside, making easier saves for goalies, which allows them [...]
Bobby Ryan is off to Motor City as the Detroit Red Wings signed him to a one-year deal worth $1M. Ryan entered the league’s recovery program for alcohol abuse last year and returned to the Senators with a hat trick in his first home game. It’s a night that’ll be hard to forget. What [...]
Ever since Bryan Little’s injuries cropped up a few years ago, the Jets have long been in need of a second-line centre. They traded for Kevin Hayes at the deadline in 2019, and traded for Cody Eakin in 2020. They also added Stastny a couple years ago and he was wonderful for them. Well, the [...]
Well, we’ve arrived. Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone! Also, it’s Free Agent Frenzy Day, I guess. Dobber and myself will be around all day to post articles on the impact of major signings. These take some time to whip up, so we’ll need more than four minutes after a signing is announced, but rest assured, we’ll [...]
The Oilers signed forward Jesse Puljujarvi to a two-year deal worth $1.175M per season. The 22-year old forward played in Europe last year after playing parts of three seasons with Edmonton. It seemed the bridge was burned but with a new regime in charge, Pulju returns. I have illustrated it before, but now that he’s [...]
The Los Angeles Kings have done a marvelous job replenishing their system following their glory years some five years ago or so. Kupari, Fagemo, Vilardi, Turcotte, Kaliyev, and now Byfield and Grans. That is a loaded depth chart. The Kings added to their prospect depth by trading a second-round pick to the New York Rangers [...]
It had been rumoured for a while that Montreal was looking to move Max Domi, and it had been rumoured for a while that Montreal was interested in RFA winger Josh Anderson out of Columbus. All those rumours came to fruition as Domi was traded for Anderson in a swap, with the Habs adding a [...]
