 The Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated through to yesterday morning. You won't find that anywhere else. Daniel Alfredsson will be out for at least two weeks. He will undergo arthoscropic surgery on his right knee. If you predicted he would play 80 games, then you were silly anyway. He's a 75-game player at best [...]

 The Canucks had an amazing tribute for Luc Bourdon last night. His mother and girlfriend were in attendance, and his best friend Alex Burrows managed to pot two goals. If you want to check the video it is on at the Canucks official site (www.canucks.com). Calgary lookd brutal, but do not read too much into one [...]

 Fantasy Guide is updated to this morning. The Sharks have released Jeff Friesen from his tryout. The Top 200 Fantasy Prospects list has been updated.  Manny Malhotra has been placed on IR.

It is rare that [...]

 The DobberHockey Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated as of now. Washington cut Chris Bourque, Karl Alzner and Quentin Laing.  Keep a close eye on the Marian Gaborik situation.

 The Fantasy Guide and Draft List are updated to this very second.   Tyler Kennedy scored twice for the Penguins today, netting the first goal as well as the game winner. He will be bumped down to the third line once Petr Sykora returns, though. The Rangers second line of Dawes-Dubinsky-Zherdev was very impressive against Tampa Bay [...]

Apparently, this move was to get them under the cap and he will be brought back up when they clear some space. Crushing news for this late-bloomer, but Janne Pesonen did not make the Penguins as noted below by Mr. Angus. In the end, as well as he played, [...]
