Kulemin

 

Last season, the Sedin-Sedin-Burrows line was the most productive in the NHL with 120 points. Even fans in Toronto might not have realized that the next most productive line in the NHL was Kulemin-Grabovski-MacArthur with 110. This Toronto trio beat out some of the more famous trios such as Lucic-Krejci-Horton (107), Ryan-Getzlaf-Perry, and (105) Hartnell-Briere-Leino (91).  The leading goal scorer from this Toronto line was none other than the number 44 overall selection in the 2006 entry draft, Nikolai Kulemin.

Trotz vs. Rinne

Rinne


If you’re anything like me, sometimes you think about stuff.   At times I think it’s important to keep those thoughts to myself - like the time I pondered “exactly how in the heck in the world DO giraffes survive that six foot fall when they’re born?”  One thing I can share, though, is the completely stable consideration of “just who is a better goaltender, Pekka Rinne or Barry Trotz?”

  What an incredible hockey game.   Three points for Cody Eakin at the Mem Cup last night. Hell of a tournament to follow up a hell of a postseason. Eakin is a prospect who should be on your radar.   Is this the biggest game for the Bruins since 1979? How about since 2010? [...]

Top 10 Keeper League Centers

The first edition of this list was put together last year, and it is something I am going to update at least once each season. I have a few general rules when it comes to building a team in a fantasy hockey keeper league. One of the more important ones is to not plan beyond a two or three year window. You are not building a real NHL club, and too often I see poolies place too much of an emphasis on youth and prospects instead of trying to add players who could help them win now.

 

Using this rule, take a look at your team(s). Can you realistically say you will have a shot at winning the league at some point within the next two or three seasons? If not, time to scrap the rebuild and start adding proven NHL talent.

  Where does Ryan Ellis rank in terms of best CHL defensemen ever? Not those who became great NHLers, but those who were the most effective at the CHL level.   Malhotra - check this fantastic analysis piece out.   "This is notable because as Gabriel Desjardins has noted in the past, losing a defensive [...]
