The 2026 free agent draft class was looking to be a monster, but Kirill Kaprizov signed his mammoth deal a week ago, Connor McDavid signed a two-year extension a few days ago, and now the Winnipeg Jets have extended Kyle Connor for eight more years at $12-million per season, as reported by Darren Dreger. Connor [...]
Connor McDavid has signed an extension with the Edmonton Oilers, as TSN’s Ryan Rishaug reported that it is a two-year deal for $12.5M per season. This keeps McDavid in Edmonton for three more seasons and gives the team their window to win a Stanley Cup. At least this helps rid Edmonton of any sort of [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that winger Bryan Rust will miss a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury. Considering the season is still four days away, Rust missing a couple of weeks from right now is not a big deal, but it does give a bit more fuel to my ‘Ville Koivunen is being severely [...]
There are still a few RFAs that remain unsigned, but one of them was taken off the board on Thursday: Pierre LeBrun reported that the New Jersey Devils and Luke Hughes reached a decision with Hughes signing a seven-year deal carrying a $9-million average annual value.

During the fantasy hockey season, I basically have three types of game I’m playing: one standard season-long fantasy league on FanTrax, Daily Fantasy on DraftKings, and I play in Best Ball leagues on Underdog Fantasy. It is the last of those three I want to talk about today. Best Ball leagues have been discussed before [...]
It is the second week of training camp and with 32 teams having anywhere from 2-3 full rosters’ worth of players each, it can be hard to keep up with all the important news, line combinations, injuries, and so forth. Let’s take a look at some important notes from the last few days. First things [...]
With training camps opening, we finally got updates on a lot of players on whom fantasy managers have been anticipating updates. Earlier in the summer, got word that Florida forward Matthew Tkachuk would miss the start of the season and that it was likely to drag well into the regular season. We got an update, [...]
In my Ramblings last Friday, I started a three-part series looking at arbitrage drafting options for this season. That post covered defencemen, and today we’re moving to wingers.
