In an effort to continue the trend of alternating week to week coverage between forwards and defenders, this week we take a look at yet another stud dealt away by the Boston Bruins by the name of Dougie Hamilton. If you’ve never taken the time to compile the potential line combinations traded away by [...]
Clayton Keller is likely to be a polarizing player this draft season. While he's not a sure thing to be drafted in all settings, the rookie projects to be a popular late-round target. The undersized pivot is coming off a dominant season with 45-point campaign as a freshman with Boston University, which also included [...]
The madness has died down, and teams are starting to get a little more frugal with how they spend their money. The UFA pile is also down to much smaller pieces, but that doesn’t mean what’s left isn’t useful. There are plenty of intriguing names remaining, and these later signings can generally be negotiated at [...]
Backup goalies are usually an afterthought in fantasy drafts, relatively speaking. They aren’t guys who singlehandedly win you a league like, say, Sergei Bobrovsky could have last year (unless the starter gets hurt and the backup is otherworldly, but those instances are few and far between).

The Columbus Blue Jackets just had their most successful season in franchise history, finishing third in their division (and the Eastern Conference) with 50 wins and 108 points. It was a surprising result, considering that the team finished 15th in the conference the previous season. It would be hard to talk about the Blue [...]
The Ottawa Senators avoided arbitration with Jean-Gabriel Pageau by signing him to a three-year deal with an average annual value of $3.1 million. That is a significant jump for the 24-year-old, who had never managed an AAV of at least $1 million in either of his first two contracts. He is now signed through his [...]
