Just when it feels like summer signings have slowed down, we get two significant extensions for young players, both carrying fantasy implications for the present and well into the future. Not only that, but we also could be seeing a former Ranger on the move back east. Never a dull afternoon! Fraser Minten (22, C/LW) [...]
It was reported by Elliotte Friedman that the Anaheim Ducks and winger Chris Kreider have reached an agreement for him to be put on waivers and have his contract terminated. In effect, this would make Kreider a free agent and hopefully give the Ducks the cap space necessary to sign Cutter Gauthier. We will have [...]
After not occurring in the 2025 offseason due to what were perceived as too few uncertainties in terms of starting goalies, my annual poll on goalie battles returns for 2026, as the landscape suggests there are enough teams where the starting goalie picture is anywhere from somewhat unclear to downright murky. The way the poll [...]
Fraser Minten signed a seven-year deal with a $7.2 Million cap hit yesterday, which feels like it was a bit of a surprise, but considering the recent growth in salaries it might end up looking like a smart bet by Boston. Last year the number might have been a five-year deal at $5 Million per [...]
Last week, we reviewed some of the offseason transactions from clubs in the Atlantic Division, so today we will look at the Metropolitan. Carolina Hurricanes: Why change anything when you win the Stanley Cup? The only major difference going into the season will be the goaltending, Frederik Andersen signed with the Edmonton Oilers, so it [...]
The Metropolitan Division is home to the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes who led the Eastern Conference with 113 points. Other than Carolina, no one else finished above 98 points. The pair of Pennsylvania teams out played their expectations, claiming the remaining playoff spots. Making projections difficult is that the 21 points separating 2nd place [...]
In a pair of Ramblings last week, the review of my personal fantasy hockey projections began. We started with forwards before moving onto defencemen. Today, we’ll be going back to our forwards but looking for deeper values using ADP data from Fantrax. My projections are made using ‘replacement level’ value, which is determined to be [...]
We are into the month of September and with the expanded schedule, we have real NHL games at the end of the month! Being only three weeks away, I’m sure we will start to see some of these veteran free agents starting to take PTOs and “prove it” contracts with clubs, so make sure you [...]
*Note: Stats courtesy of Frozen Tools This week, we will be shifting the focus away from individual players and over to fantasy teams as a whole. This ranking examines which clubs have the most overall fantasy value at each position. Not necessarily the best ten teams in the league, but the teams whose combination of [...]
Carolina Hurricanes – Logan Stankoven Logan Stankoven is a player I keep coming back to when looking at Carolina’s potential value options. He may not have put up huge regular-season numbers last year, finishing with 21 goals and 44 points in 82 games, but what he did in the playoffs caught everyone’s attention. He led [...]
