Small prospects need not apply.
Picking fantasy prospects is risky enough without drafting undersized players. Undersized means any player 5’10 and under, who doesn’t have the frame to reach at least 190 pounds.

San Jose has traded the underperforming Dany Heatley to Minnesota in exchange for Martin Havlat. Heatley has three more seasons at a cap hit of $7.5 million, while Havlat has four more at a cap hit of $5 million, saving San Jose $2.5 million per season (math can be fun).

Their crazy signings to get up to the salary floor is having a ripple effect, methinks. There is an unconfirmed report from Darren Dreger that [...]

It's a subtle strategy, but I see right through you Dale Tallon. Yes, you're spending lots of money. Yes, you're bringing in lots of free agents. Yes, the optics are that you have made yourself a competitive team. But I know what you're really doing. And might I say, sir - it's brilliant.
Fantasy Impact: The St. Louis Blues have signed center Jason Arnott and winger Jamie Langenbrunner to one-year deals, each for $2.5 million plus bonuses.
