The Toronto Maple Leafs’ 5th overall pick in 2012 has had a meteoric rise in 2018-2019. At 24 years of age, Morgan Rielly has gone from 13th in September 2018 to 3rd in January 2019 on Dobber’s Top 100 Keeper League Defensemen list. His PPG is 1.02 compared to his career high of 0.68 [...]
Late Tuesday night, the Anaheim Ducks got word that Ondrej Kase would be out for the season with a torn labrum. Recovery time could be as much as six months, which is significant, but it would also give him a couple months (hopefully) to train before having to head to Ducks camp. I suppose [...]

It has finally happened. After months of speculation, outrage, despair, inappropriate laughter, and a series of questionable moves, Peter Chiarelli has been relieved of his duties as the Edmonton Oilers General Manager. With it, ends a 44-month stint that saw him try unsuccessfully to solve the defence issue, despite sacrificing a league MVP [...]
With my last defensemen battle coming way back in August, I figure another was overdue. And this is a doozy, pitting Torey Krug against Tyson Barrie. Both are reliable sources of blueline offence, but which one is better at present and going forward? Let’s find out - Cage Match starts now! Career Path [...]
