Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. **** Welcome back to the final installment of my three-part series analyzing the first-round picks from the 2024 NHL Draft. You can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here. In this segment, [...]
This is a great time to mention that the Fantasy Hockey Guide will be available on July 29. Everything that you’ve come to know and love about the guide is included again this season – its 19th year. Preorder yours today! One of the sections I have been working on is hits. A few years [...]
We have now reached the slow portion of the NHL offseason and while there are still a few interesting players waiting to be signed – Alex Nylander and Oliver Kylington come to mind – and almost certainly a significant trade or two to come – looking at you, Martin Necas – the rosters that we [...]
Welcome back to another week of Analytics Advantage. This week we are going to be doing a player highlight on Nikita Artamonov, who is the Carolina Hurricanes 50th overall draft pick.

Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
We may have a Sidney Crosby extension announced very soon. With his next contract, Crosby would have a chance to pass Nicklas Lindstrom for the most games played with one single franchise (he’s about four seasons back of that title).
