Picture two 31-year-olds, both coming off 55-point seasons, both available at the same keeper price. One is a winger and one is a defenseman.

Leo Carlsson will not be a Philadelphia Flyer as Elliotte Friedman reported that the Anaheim Ducks matched the 5-year, $18-million AAV contract on Thursday. This contract makes him the highest paid player on a per-season basis, and will carry him right until free agency. This is a pretty brutal deal for cap league fantasy managers [...]
Welcome back, everyone! I hope that all my buddies up north had an enjoyable and safe Canada Day and same goes for everyone here with me in the States for the Fourth of July. Last week, I speculated that: Zach Werenski would remain with the Columbus Blue Jackets, which for better or worse for fantasy [...]
The Utah Mammoth matched the offer-sheet to which the New Jersey Devils signed centre Barrett Hayton. A matched offer sheet also precludes a trade of Hayton, so he will be around the Mammoth for at least one more full season. * The Chicago Blackhawks announced that Connor Bedard had shoulder surgery and he is expected [...]

Which prospects can have an immediate fantasy impact? Let’s take a look at some of the top NHL draftees that we could see with their big clubs sooner [...]
Pavel Mintyukov's five year, $7.4 million AAV extension is a bet on upside more than current production. The 21-year-old has shown flashes of being a dynamic puck mover with offensive instincts and the ability to transition the puck efficiently, but his defensive game remains a work in progress. Those flashes were more evident early in [...]
