There are development camps going on across the NHL and it’s really not a great time to assess much. Teams are restricted, for now, to their own prospects, so an elite pick from the 2023 Draft out-performing a 7th-rounder from 2022 doesn’t tell us much. It is also hard to follow along with what is [...]
While Alex Mclean and others have their predicted salaries and terms for what free agents might sign for, I wanted to come up with a performative salary number for an individual or a team’s salary value that they had for a particular time frame. The idea was to see if the salary or cap that [...]
Even though many teams regret their free-agent signings less than a year later, there are a few moves that are great for fantasy hockey general managers. We all want to believe a player we have in a fantasy keeper league that has signed with a new team will excel; we twist all logic to try [...]
The Prospects Report was released June 1. Updated last Friday. You can order all of the 2023-24 fantasy products in the shop here (or subscribe!). * And ground has now been broken on the 18th annual Fantasy Guide. * In case you missed it, I covered Ian for the Ramblings yesterday and had lots of [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Max Domi to a one-year deal worth $3M. The Maple Leafs get: a talented, but at times frustrating and wildly inconsistent forward who can play center, but will likely line up on the wing. They could be getting the 40-point Domi of 2020 through early 2022, or they [...]
The Seattle Kraken have signed winger Kailer Yamamoto to a one-year deal worth $1.5M AAV. The Kraken get: a diminutive (5-8), high-upside winger with a lot to prove. According to the DobberHockey BT model, smaller players such as Yamamoto need about 400 NHL games of experience to truly come into their own. Yamamoto has played [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed winger Tyler Bertuzzi to a one-year deal worth $5.5M AAV. The Maple Leafs get: a hardworking, tenacious buzzsaw and former 30-goal scorer who is still in his prime. Although Bertuzzi isn’t anywhere near the size of his uncle (Todd Bertuzzi), Tyler nonetheless plays hard. It’s surprising that he barely [...]
The Florida Panthers have signed forward Evan Rodrigues to a four-year deal worth $3.0M AAV per season. The Panthers get: an underrated and (until now) underpaid forward who can play any position up front, and both special teams. Rodrigues had 39 points in 69 games (a 46-point pace) playing mostly with Mikko Rantanen and Nathan [...]

The Arizona Coyotes have signed winger Alex Kerfoot to a two-year deal worth $3.5M AAV. The Coyotes get: a versatile, speedy winger who can chip in on any line and at either wing. He can also be used on either special teams unit. Fantasy Players Impacted: Along with Jason Zucker and Nick Bjugstad, the Coyotes [...]
