Welcome back my Salary Cap-friendlies! I hope everyone is enjoying this very young NHL season thus far and is well on your fantasy club(s). Week one can be a tough overaction because of the short week, but if there’s one piece of advice, I can give is that if you like your team, roll with [...]
Back before the 2023 Draft, I had a Ramblings that covered some of the prospects I was keeping an eye on. As always, I am not a prospect evaluator, but I do read a lot from sources I trust and try to get an idea of what each player might be. One of the prospects [...]
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.

Normally I resume the Roos Lets Loose format the week after my 15 Fearless Forecasts is published; but I feel like it’s a bit too soon to dissect data. Next week it should be back to business as usual. This is the perfect time though to remind ourselves to use good judgment in making decisions, [...]
