In continuation of last week’s piece covering players with potential for bounce back campaigns in 2018-19, let’s look at another six players across the league who I feel stand a great chance to reward those who invest in coming drafts. Jakob Silfverberg Despite only falling nine points short of 2016-17’s 49-point campaign, Jakob [...]
The Montreal Canadiens were dealt a significant blow on Thursday as the team announced Shea Weber would be undergoing knee surgery which would keep him off the ice for 5-6 months. Best guess right now is to not expect him in the lineup until Christmas. While the Subban-Weber trade has been debated since it [...]
Though they haven’t made the big splash that other teams have this off season, Columbus is doing a good job of solidifying their forward depth. First it was Riley Nash, and then Thursday afternoon came the signing of free agent winger Anthony Duclair. It’s a one-year deal for $650K as reported by Aaron Portzline [...]
This week's Capped recaps everything you didn’t know you needed to know about free-agent frenzy. **** As of now, more money has been spent on new contracts in the week since July first than you could spend in a lifetime. This is before Erik Karlsson gets traded and then signs an eight-year deal with [...]

Both the Draft and Free Agency are behind us which means there really isn’t a whole lot left to do this offseason. There is still the possibility of offer sheets but let’s face it, NHL general managers are more concerned with getting a Christmas card from a rival than improving their own team. Were [...]
This summer marks the return of Cage Match Tournaments focusing on breakout players. I figured with the rise in league-wide scoring, the Tournaments should be about picking the next group of players to make leaps into higher scoring echelons. To cover all the angles for your leagues, I’ll be doing tiers of forward breakout [...]
Here are the Top 300 skaters to own in your points-only keeper league - July edition. This month I'm still manually tweaking. The August edition will be fully audited with proper short-term projections entered into my template, proper lineups put in, etc. For this edition, I added in the best drafted players from last [...]
I really like the Robin Lehner signing for the Islanders (Mike breaks it down with his thoughts here, which I agree with). The Isles have two of the best goaltending prospects in all of hockey with Ilya Sorokin and Linus Soderstrom, but neither will be available this season and likely not next year either. So [...]
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Calvin de Haan to a four-year contract worth $18.2 million. The Hurricanes get: probably the best two-way defenseman on the free agent market, but also the most injury prone. Were it not for said injuries, we could be talking about a completely different de Haan right now as [...]
