Someone is going to stop Eeli Tolvanen eventually, right? The 18-year old first-round pick for Nashville has been a force for Jokerit this year even if his scoring slowed down after a scorching start. His first game at the Winter Olympics saw a four-point effort (one goals and three assists) against Germany. He followed that [...]
All fantasy owners need help in the short term AND the long term. The Looking Ahead feature identifies one player to plug into lineups in the short term, a second to invest in for the long term, a third to bench for the coming week, and a fourth who will struggle to meet expectations [...]
Dion Phaneuf’s first shot in a King uniform and was on net, rather than high and wide. I know, I’m shocked too. He would later score a power-play goal skating 18:56 with secondary power play usage. He also had no penalty kill time. Could less be more for Phaneuf? I can’t help but think [...]
Fantasy Impact: The St. Louis Blues acquire depth winger Nikita Soshnikov from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2019. The Blues get: a depth winger to play on their third or fourth line, with enough offense to pinch hit on a scoring line. The Maple Leafs get: [...]
This week's Capped covers some thoughts on defencemen for the trade deadline. **** It is surprising that there has been so little NHL action over the last few weeks, and it could make for a very intriguing last few days before the trade deadline on February 26th. As it stands, the market is flooded [...]
First Mitch Marner gets a five-point game, now Nazem Kadri takes his turn. That pairing has been dynamite over the past 10 games scoring 13 and 15 points respectively. {source} <blockquote class="twitter-video" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kadri with the sauce.

This Valentine’s day I hope you’ve been hit with Cupid’s arrow and not the injury bug! If you don’t see a certain player below, there probably haven’t been any major developments in their progress. Once there is a significant update, I’ll be sure to have it for you on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza! The Big Guns [...]
Ottawa Senators ship defenseman Dion Phaneuf and center Nate Thompson to the Los Angeles Kings for Marian Gaborik and Nick Shore. The Senators get: some cash and cap savings. Just over $5 million saved over the next three years, with cap savings of close to $1 million next season and close to $500 [...]
Usually I’d be wary of covering two players who’ve combined to score barely 150 points in nearly 450 career games; but when they happen to be heralded young rearguards Aaron Ekblad and Darnell Nurse, those concerns disappear. Let’s dig deep to see who’s the better own at present, and for down the road. Cage Match [...]
Monday, Tom Collins nailed a pretty solid Top 10 list that covered the 10 hottest names on the block leading up to the NHL’s Trade Deadline on February 26. So I won’t get into those players, but I’ll add a few of my own to that list, in no particular order. Some names I’ve [...]
