If there’s a time of year where fantasy team managers are the most hyper-focused, this is the one. I see a lot of questions like the following: “What do you think of my team?” My stock answer: It looks great, but you’ll probably want to make waiver-wire moves throughout the season. No fantasy team is [...]
The Immediate Fix (Grab this guy and use him for the next several days)Evgenii Dadonov, RW/LW, Vegas Golden Knights (Available in 37.5% of ESPN leagues, 40% Fantrax leagues) - So let’s start with Florida Evgenii.

League drafts are now in the books, so where do players rank now? These rankings take into account average draft positions (ADPs) as well as actual values. You could use these rankings to compare one player to another as you evaluate your roster, make start/sit decisions, or even consider trade offers. We’re also factoring in [...]
Alex Ovechkin is already going to go down in history as one of the best goal scorers of all time. The only question is just where exactly on that list does he sit? After his two-goal premier and moving into fifth place all time, it seemed like time to take a look at where he [...]

The season is upon us. With it comes part four of the ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ series. You can find the first three parts here: Part I, Part II, Part III. This week we’ll cover the New York Islanders to the Seattle Kraken with perhaps another surprise selection or two. Again, I intentionally exclude superstars on [...]
Hendrix Lapierre was one of the big stories of the preseason. While the injury to Nicklas Backstrom likely helped matters, Lapierre went into camp basically as an extra and played his way onto the team. Not a lot of rookies do that in the NHL, maybe a handful every year. He even had to beat [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL!

If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza. Alex Galchenyuk – [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at early storylines to follow for teams in the Eastern Conference. Boston Bruins – Hall on PP1 While the goalie battle between Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark will be important to follow, it’ll take some time before we can properly evaluate that situation. Instead, I think we [...]
I have the pleasure of kicking off the recaps on the first Ramblings covering games from the 2021-22 season. Last night we saw four teams in action, including the debut of the 32nd team, the Seattle Kraken.
