This week we’re going to be reviewing some cap notes for each NHL team before the trade deadline. Skip to your favourite team or peruse them all and be ready for anything come deadline day! Hopefully this doesn’t get too outdated between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon… Cap info from Cap Friendly. **** [...]
There was a concern that Dmitrij Jaskin has been waived by the Washington Capitals. With everyone healthy, it was a numbers game and it seemed Jaskin was the odd-man out. However, the earlier report was refuted by Elliotte Friedman and Devante Smith-Pelly was waived instead. Jaskin was a guy I fell in love with [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Boston Bruins have acquired forward Charlie Coyle from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Ryan Donato and a conditional fifth-round draft pick. The Bruins receive: A versatile middle six forward who could play up the lineup on the wing, or down the lineup in the middle. His numbers have steadily [...]
Here’s the latest news in the world of NHL injuries. As always, follow me on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza for up-to-the-minute injury updates. John Gibson – While Anaheim’s starting goaltender is progressing well from injuries to his neck, head and back, we still don’t know exactly when he’ll return to the lineup. The Ducks have [...]
Back when Cage Match was still my weekly column, you had to wait until the summer and winter for tournaments/polls; but the good news is now you’ll get one every month! And what better way for me to kick things off than having a tournament involving goalies, which I never got a chance to [...]
Don’t look now, but the Ducks have won three of their last four games. Two via the shutout including a 4-0 victory over the Wild on Tuesday evening. None of these contests have seen John Gibson, either. Ryan Miller is healthy and providing exactly what’s expected of him: providing legitimate netminding if/when Gibson isn’t [...]
It looks like last week’s article on how to setup for the playoffs was received well; I received multiple requests via twitter for the Excel file to allow others to take a look at their team. Since I covered the first week of the playoffs 3/4/19-3/11/19 last week, it seems like the appropriate time [...]
Jordan Staal was back at practice for the Carolina Hurricanes, but this time he was in a regular jersey instead of a non-contact one. For a player returning from a concussion, this is a significant step. I imagine he’ll need a few more practices under his belt before he’s cleared, but it looks like [...]
We will have a little bit of a change in format this week. The trade deadline is fast approaching and that means we are inundated with trade and contract speculations. It is hard to know how much weight to put in any of it. For the West I have tried to sort teams into Buyers [...]
Everyone likes a good NHL trade, maybe no one more than fantasy general managers. You see, we salivate at this time of the season, when players are switching teams faster than Mike Sillinger in his heyday. However, we have a tendency to go a little crazy this year, overvaluing guys who are traded. It always [...]
