It was a rough first period for a number of players during Game 2 between Florida and Edmonton. Darnell Nurse took a hit early-ish in the period and left the game for stretches at a time (he would miss about 20 minutes of game action but did come back), and then Eetu Luostarainen took a [...]
This week, we will look at some intriguing UFAs and what they might sign for in free agency using the range of my salary valuations. Remember that this value is based on what each player did in the 2023-24 regular season and not on future performance or what a team will pay them in free [...]

I’m trying to evaluate two players who may fly under the radar heading into drafts this year but did put up solid numbers in the games they did play in 2023-23. First off, Alex Nylander, who was a revelation for Columbus in 23 games with them last season, scoring 11 goals and adding four assists. [...]

As a reminder here is some context for the data below this series. For the purposes of this article, [...]
The DobberHockey writers have made their picks for the Stanley Cup Final. You can check them out here. My personal pick was Edmonton in 6. This was a really difficult pick for me to make.
