Another calendar year gone, and that means we’re closer to the upcoming free agency period than last year’s. As always, I have my final list of projected annual cap hits for each of the top-100 free agents. Out now! The 16th annual Midseason Fantasy Hockey Guide (order it here). There are a bunch of intriguing [...]
The Avalanche have signed Zach Parise to a one-year contract worth $825,000. Parise should provide Colorado with scoring depth, which should help a team that seems to deal with more than its share of injuries (currently without Gabriel Landeskog and Valeri Nichushkin). A point-per-game scorer early in his career with the Devils and a fairly [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are shifting gears a bit and digging into peripheral categories, specifically for defense.

Welcome back for a new year - I’ve managed to run through and add the important rookies and surprise breakouts to the database and incorporated them properly now, so we have the debut on the list for Luke Hughes, while none of the other rookies made the top-200. Hughes slides into the top-100, and he’s [...]
Alright my Cap Friends, this week we’re looking to make an addition to fantasy leagues everywhere that should help you throughout the rest of the regular season. These players all fit into a parameter as well that they are lower rostered on most fantasy sites and are at or around a $5M cap hit. I [...]
