I’m unabashedly a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, so the biggest news this week from their organization was that Jaromir Jagr’s #68 jersey retirement will be honored on February 18 at PPG Arena, after his playing days finally ended (?) at age 51 in Czechoslovakia. Jagr has delayed his own Hall of Fame induction by continuing to [...]
We’re now approaching mid-November. The team that you picked to win the Stanley Cup (and many of our experts, too) is buried at the bottom of the NHL sea, having just lost to what is widely considered the most toothless opponent in the NHL. Your fantasy team with one or more name-brand Oilers is underachieving. [...]
Welcome back all! We finally have a ‘normal’ week for fantasy on the eve of a week where it’s going to be more schedule issues. If there’s one thing, I’ve tried to do here in the early going this season it’s to really look at my fantasy team based off what I’ve seen so and [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are finishing out our early season exploration into time on ice. In what has become a recurring series in the column we are using our Frozen Tools Reports to highlight some players who are seeing big changes in their deployment. Production follows deployment so knowing how players are [...]
Something that had been a bit confounding – maybe a lot confounding – about the Calgary Flames is their utter refusal to even bother giving minor league goalie Dustin Wolf a shot at the NHL level. Wolf, the back-to-back goalie of the year in the AHL, had a .924 save percentage in the AHL so [...]
In the realm of fantasy hockey, where every point can be the difference between triumph and mediocrity, a deeper dive into advanced statistics becomes not just a strategy, but a necessity. This season, we're peeling back the layers of conventional stats to reveal a hidden cove of insights through advanced metrics such as xGF%, HDGF%, [...]
Hello and welcome back my Salary Cap-friendlies! We haven’t really touched on goaltenders too much in Capped and there’s sort of a reason for that. Outside of Sergei Bobrovsky they mostly earn salaries and off the top of my head, the last sort of bigger trade that occurred with a goaltender was Marc-Andre Fleury from [...]
The Minnesota Wild made some adjustments to their blueline on Wednesday by trading Calen Addison to the San Jose Sharks, then turning around and getting Zach Bogosian from Tampa Bay. I wrote up a bit on the Addison trade already so go check that out if you haven’t already. I will say that it’s one [...]
Here's the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you're looking for information about a certain player and don't see their name in this article, there probably haven't been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. This will be my last week covering the Injury Ward, but don’t fret, I’ll be [...]
In a surprising move, the Minnesota Wild have traded defenseman Calen Addison to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2026 and minor leaguer Adam Raska. Addison has zero goals and five assists in 12 games for the Wild this season, had seen his ice time decline over his recent outings, [...]
