It’s not fantasy relevant news at this point, but Gavin McKenna choosing to go the NCAA route, and signing to play with Penn State is certainly intriguing and has a lot of ripple effects. He’s going to a program that wasn’t one of the leaders last year, but he now has the opportunity to elevate [...]

Ramblings: Sharks Rebuild Plan; Demko Re-Ups in Vancouver & Some Fantasy Notes from Draft Weekend (July 1)

By |2025-07-01T21:26:47-04:00July 2nd, 2025|Hockey Rambling|

It’s a little strange doing Ramblings for the day after free agency opens, as all of the news is pretty well covered in other fantasy take articles (which you can find here). Cliffy did an awesome job basically covering the whole day himself, so stick taps to him. It's also a little too early to [...]

Ramblings: Giroux, Knies & Geekie Re-Sign; Pietrangelo Injury; Veleno Buyout (Jun 30)

While the past couple of days featured players joining new teams, Sunday’s theme was about players staying put. We got a flurry of re-signings, but also an injury update, buyout, and contract termination. Let’s get right into it! Claude’s Commitment On Sunday, Claude Giroux signed a one-year extension with the Senators, avoiding free-agency. The deal [...]

By |2025-06-24T15:47:21-04:00June 25th, 2025|Hockey Rambling, Latest|

This week we have draft rankings, next week it’s draft review and free agency opening, the couple of weeks after will be some more free agency review and roster projections before we get [...]
