We may have a Sidney Crosby extension announced very soon. With his next contract, Crosby would have a chance to pass Nicklas Lindstrom for the most games played with one single franchise (he’s about four seasons back of that title). He’s also chasing down Mario Lemieux’s franchise record for points. Even now we can say [...]

There wasn’t a lot for significant signings made over the last few days but there were a handful that are worth noting for those in deeper types of fantasy leagues. Let’s go through some of those signings to see what we can glean from them. We will still be using CapFriendly for their cap information [...]

After a busy week of transactions in the NHL, Sunday’s calm gave us a chance to catch our breath and collect our thoughts. With this opportunity, I thought it’d be worthwhile to evaluate how certain players have seen their fantasy outlooks upgraded/downgraded after signing with new teams. Here are my thoughts on a few players: [...]

Macklin Celebrini has signed his three-year, entry-level contract with the Sharks. As you probably know by now, Celebrini was the first overall pick in the recent 2024 entry draft. I’ve already seen questions about where to rank Celebrini. Well, you have an answer already, as he was included in Dobber’s Top 300 Keeper League Skaters. [...]

The Oilers have traded Ryan McLeod and Tyler Tullio to the Sabres for Matt Savoie. McLeod looked okay as a bottom-6 forward for the Oilers during the playoffs, but Savoie seems like a lot for the Sabres to give up for a return of McLeod and mid-level prospect Tullio. Savoie was the Sabres’ first-round pick [...]

July 1 was something, wasn’t it? I’ve had fantasy drafts that have taken longer than it took for most of the significant names to fall off the board. If there really is a tampering rule, then no one is following it. Vladimir Tarasenko was widely considered the top remaining free agent on the board after [...]

Almost all of the big free agents have signed, but there are still a handful of key restricted free agents left on the board. One of them was Florida’s Anton Lundell, and the key word there being ‘was’ because he signed a six-year contract carrying an average annual value of $5-million: https://twitter.com/pbpsports/status/1808529893765898748 Lundell, fresh off [...]

July 1st was a crazy day, and Brennan, Mike, and Ian did an amazing job with the non-stop coverage. I had a bunch of family time I was busy with, on top of helping my brother moving. The guys were nice enough to save me the Nashville moves for when I had some time though, [...]

Free agency proved to be quite the busy day as CapFriendly let us know that it was the first time in NHL history that over one billion dollars – yes, with a ‘B’ – was handed out in contracts in a single day. The cap jumping to $88M and then likely rising above $90M next [...]

Happy Canada & Free Agent Frenzy Day! Keep an eye on our homepage as we’ll be breaking down the fantasy perspectives of key signings all day! With the free-agent market set to open at 12pm EST, we saw a bevvy of transactions as teams got their ducks in a row. Here are few notable moves: [...]
