Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Despite having scored only three points in 13 games so far, Alex Laferriere (LAK) has steadily worked his way onto my fantasy radar this year. He scored his first goal [...]
The start of this season has been one of the more unpredictable in recent memory - which is usually a bettor’s worst nightmare. Take your pick of crooked storylines, there’s no shortage of trends across the NHL that few hockey pundits could have predicted coming into the 2023-24 campaign. Whether that be the upstart Vancouver [...]
I’m unabashedly a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, so the biggest news this week from their organization was that Jaromir Jagr’s #68 jersey retirement will be honored on February 18 at PPG Arena, after his playing days finally ended (?) at age 51 in Czechoslovakia. Jagr has delayed his own Hall of Fame induction by continuing to [...]

This season, we're peeling back the layers of conventional stats to reveal a hidden cove of insights through advanced metrics such as xGF%, HDGF%, [...]
Hello and welcome back my Salary Cap-friendlies! We haven’t really touched on goaltenders too much in Capped and there’s sort of a reason for that. Outside of Sergei Bobrovsky they mostly earn salaries and off the top of my head, the last sort of bigger trade that occurred with a goaltender was Marc-Andre Fleury from [...]
Jeremy and Lewis are back like Nick Paul on a random Monday to deliver hit after hit to help you win your fantasy week. The guys cover the headlines from Matthew Knies new deployment to Jack Campbell's new league, then cover a host of injuries and outjuries featuring names like Andersen, Hughes, Horvat, and Couturier.
