Just ask the Montreal Canadiens (yikes!). With injuries comes the need for replacements. Your ability to claim a good replacement is directly related to [...]
Talking about defencemen is probably my favourite thing to do because the position has evolved so much over the last 20 years that it always feels like we’re on a new frontier. Regardless, there are a pair of defencemen I want to talk about today, and both were high draft picks this past fantasy season. [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers have fired Head Coach Alain Vigneault as well as Assistant Coach Michel Therrien. Mike Yeo takes over on an interim basis.
