The San Jose Sharks have terminated head coach Bob Boughner as well as three assistant coaches. The timing of this decision seems unusual, since the Sharks have still not yet hired a general manager. However, it’s possible that the Sharks have shortlisted candidates that have indicated that they would like to bring in their own [...]
Welcome to our final playoff deployment review. We are wrapping up with the final four teams for the 2021-22 playoff season: Colorado, Edmonton, Tampa Bay, and New York (Rangers). Given that these are the final four, they have the biggest sample sizes. In most cases we are looking at between 16-23 games depending on the [...]
Happy Canada Day! We’ve become so used to that day becoming signing day throughout the years, but of course COVID altered the normal plan. Your normal Canada Day plans (or early Fourth of July plans) of BBQ, beer, celebrations, or simply general relaxation were always accompanied with a flurry of signings. As it stands now, [...]

Fiala is coming off a career-best 1.04 PTS/GP (85 PTS), where he was particularly strong in the second half (56 PTS in 44 GP). That’s [...]

As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
I was looking into Ryan Johansen’s FrozenTools page for an entirely unrelated reason, and noticed that he may be the poster-boy for regression entering next season. He tied the second-highest point-pace of his career despite seeing his ice time drop for the third straight season. Diving in deeper it looks bad no matter what numbers [...]
