Capped

      Welcome to week three. To recap, in the buy and sell features, I profile one player per team to sell, and one to buy. These recommendations are based on salary cap leagues, and I try to cover various league sizes and categories. Last year we started alphabetically at the bottom, so this [...]

  This is the third time I have put together a buy and sell series. This year however, it is under slightly different conditions. I am getting married in August, and having a wedding to plan means these articles are getting done in whatever spare time is left around planning in June/July, so I can [...]

  We’re into August now, and that means the annual Capped Column Buy/Sell feature will be running starting next week (where from each team one player to buy-low on, and one player to sell-high on are profiled). In the meantime, we had news of a large extension drop on Monday morning, as Andrei Vasilevskiy put [...]

  Getting into this point in July, most poolies don’t have their eyes on fantasy hockey. Luckily for us writers, there are still some of you crazy enough to be seeking something new in the middle of the offseason.

I have gotten the green light from the big man himself, Darryl, to put up [...]

  After the madness dies down from the first few days of July, there are bargains remaining to be found in the free-agent pile. Last year we saw names such as Patrick Maroon, Tyler Ennis, and Anthony Duclair, among others, signed after the big wave, providing some very valuable production versus their cap hit. This [...]

  July 1st should need no introduction. It is Canadian celebrations in full force, as well as NHL GMs tossing as much money as they can at mostly mediocre players. Looking back at previous years, we all know there are some good, but mostly bad deals signed in the first week of July. Let’s sort [...]

  There weren’t any “hockey trades” during this year’s NHL draft weekend. Every trade was either focused around pure draft pick swaps, or salary cap dumps. The draft pick swaps happen every year, but the cap dumps were much bigger and bolder than we have seen in years past. There were three main deals that [...]

  With the Stanley Cup and all the other hardware awarded, we’re now getting into the fun part of the offseason where teams’ plans are starting to take shape, and we’re seeing some questionable decisions already. Let’s dive into some of the moves, sort the good from the bad, and see what impact this may [...]
