Today, we begin by addressing the offseason question marks facing each NHL team as they head into the summer. This week, we'll focus on four of the teams that missed the playoffs, many of whom face significant challenges. Next week, we'll turn our attention to the remaining four non-playoff teams, and then we'll move on [...]
Capping off last week’s Young Players Who Might See a Regular Role in 2025-26 article where we covered top prospects who could potentially see 60 or more games (25 for goalies) in the 2025-26 season. We started with the alphabetical first half of teams in the Eastern Conference and top prospects in each organization, and [...]
To pair with the theme Grant is diving into in the Wild West column, let’s take a look at some young players on rosters in the East who could play 60 games (25 for goalies) or more in 2025-26 in the NHL, not including players who played 40 or more games in 2024-25. We’ll carve [...]
The Eastern Conference has been a masterclass lately in team resilience, competition and individual brilliance. The playoffs are currently around 15 games away for most clubs, and the competition to get in has been heating up.

Trade deadline could potentially reshape a lot of the Eastern Conference, as teams have already begun to make changes, additions and improvements to their respective rosters. Let’s get into our final Eastern Edge before the NHL’s trade deadline this Friday. The Florida Panthers made the latest – and arguably most significant – splash over the [...]
After a much-needed Four Nations break, the NHL is back in action. Without an All-Star Game to mark the pause, the usual sense of a midseason reset feels a little different this year. That natural transition into the final stretch of the season isn’t as pronounced as in previous years—at least, not personally. All 32 [...]
The NHL has a break in the action, with games set to resume on Saturday the 22nd. The Four Nations Faceoff has delivered some spectacular hockey, giving fans a chance to witness best-on-best competition and highlighting the league’s top players from four of the sport’s most influential nations. Nonetheless, a Championship rematch between Canada and [...]
Heading into the 4 Nations Faceoff, we can pause to take inventory of major storylines and trends around the Eastern Conference with fantasy implications. This pause can be a good time to also take inventory of our rosters ahead of many trade deadlines around the fantasy landscape. Rest of season projections and “second half performers” [...]
Buckle up, there’s a lot to unpack here. Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals is re-emerging, Florida Panthers winger Carter Verhaeghe is finding his scoring touch again, Logan Thompson just inked a big new deal, and a potential diagnosis for Vincent Trocheck power play demotion with the New York Rangers.
