Hope you enjoyed this busy day/night of action. The next time at least 20 teams play will be (flips calendar) February 10, which is two weeks away. - With Carter Hart’s very indefinite leave of absence, Samuel Ersson is now the starter in Philly. He has earned it with some solid play during the first [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** For Bubble Keeper Week back in July, with the news of the Devils’ Arseni Gritsyuk signing a two-year contract extension in the KHL, I recommended him as a drop. Two [...]
With all 32 NHL teams officially eclipsing the halfway mark of the 2023-24 campaign, we’re in store for what is sure to be an intense few weeks of hockey and NHL betting action as clubs jockey for postseason positioning and GMs across the league tinker with their rosters.An initial glance at today's board reveals what [...]
Matthew Tkachuk is pretty good these days. I remember writing about his shot percentage when he had five goals on 119 shots on net, or 4.2%. That wasn’t sustainable, and my prediction was that the Panthers would become a scary team when - not if - the correction happened. Yeah. Since the calendar rolled over [...]

As always, I have my final list of projected annual cap hits for each of the top-100 free agents. Out now! The 16th annual Midseason Fantasy Hockey Guide (order it here).

We did this back in November so are going to be taking a look at anything that has changed since then. For the purposes of this article, we are going to mainly focus on hits, [...]

Lots to discuss before the break so let’s dive on in.The Immediate Fix (Grab this guy and use him for the next several days)Alec Martinez, D, Vegas Golden Knights (Rostered in 44% of ESPN leagues, 20% Fantrax, 13% Yahoo) – With [...]
Now that he has had another run as the main starter for Vegas, Logan Thompson has regained his spot as the top fantasy goaltender in cap leagues. He could very well hold that spot for another year and a half until his contract expires, considering the production, the team, and the minimal cost. Even with [...]
The injuries have piled up for New Jersey and despite getting back Timo Meier recently, and Ondrej Palat last night, they remain without Jack Hughes, Dougie Hamilton, Jonas Siegenthaler, and now Michael McLeod. All the injuries have forced a lot of line shuffling and their game last night saw Dawson Mercer start as the second-line [...]
