Hockey Rambling

Now that the NHL postseason, draft, and the thick of free agency have all come and gone, are you looking for something to fill the hockey void? You won’t have to wait much longer. The 15th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide will be available today! Tons of articles as well as projections, both team-by-team and on [...]

Marco Rossi is heading to Switzerland with the blessing of the Minnesota Wild. He is expected to be in the lineup for the ZSC Lions, according to Mr. Russo, by this weekend. At the risk of reading far too much into this, Rossi starting up his hockey season overseas at a point in time where [...]

We had a few signings take place on Tuesday. First up was Josh Ho-Sang settling with a two-way contract worth $750K in the bigs and $250K in the minors. It was a tumultuous 2019-20 season for the 24-year-old - more so than the rest of us. After failing to make the Isles out of camp, [...]

Chris Tierney has signed a two-year deal with the Sens carrying an AAV of $3.5M. It is noteworthy because the team could be going into the season with an unproven Colin White as their 1C. It is far from a lock that White is the top-line centre all year. We saw what J-G Pageau did [...]

I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that Dobber is currently working hard on the 15th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide, and it will be available in just under a week! From then, it will be updated regularly until a few weeks after the season starts (which is sounding more and more like [...]

We continue to be in the dark as to when the 2020-21 season will start and what exactly it will look like. Elliotte Friedman posted a thread on Friday on what is known and what is still being worked on. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1319718256580722688 https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1319718971789266945 For what it’s worth, the NBA is targeting a pre-Christmas (December 22) start [...]

There was a video conference with Montreal coach Claude Julien. Early on, John Lu from TSN tweeted that Julien had lost weight and started some lifestyle changes following his cardiac event a couple months ago. That is great news and best wishes to Julien. The second salient point, which is important for fantasy hockey, is [...]

There will be a brief discussion on one of the Nashville centres a little later, but it’s worth talking a bit about their current winger situation, too. Both Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson had down years (for different reasons) and there just isn’t a lot to speak of offensively beyond that with Granlund and Smith [...]

The Canucks signed a couple of bottom-six players on Monday. They inked 24-year-old, UFA, Jayce Hawryluk to a one-year contract for $750K and then re-signed Adam Gaudette to a one-year deal worth $950K. Here’s the thing, one or even both of them could see time in Vancouver’s top six. Gaudette is the most obvious one. [...]
