With the NHL being on a two week break and the Four Nations halfway finished, we can focus on some prospects. I might have been completely mistaken about the intensity levels of the Four Nations when I thought it might be an All-Star type competition. I’m happy to have been wrong as the hockey has [...]

Of course, we will keep things fantasy relevant. Four games is not much of a sample size, but when has that ever [...]
With no games on Sunday, I thought we could spend today’s Ramblings looking at some interesting stats so far in 2025.

Continuing on from NCAA Prospects Update - Part 1, I am rolling out Part 2 on the NCAA talent pool, highlighting prospects who are making serious noise at the collegiate level. Some may be on the cusp of an NHL debut, ready to take the plunge, while others still need time to round out their [...]
