It seemed as if the Colorado Avalanche had already acquired their third-line centre for the playoffs when they added Nicolas Roy, but the team wasn’t done there. They are getting the band back together as Nazem Kadri – an integral part of the Colorado’s Stanley Cup win four years ago – was sent from the [...]
The trade between the St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders that sends Brayden Schenn to Long Island in exchange for Jonathan Drouin, a 2026 first round pick via Colorado, a 2026 third round pick, and goaltending prospect Marcus Gidlof. The Islanders are clearly pushing to strengthen their roster for both the playoff race and [...]
The Detroit Red Wings were apparently searching for a right-shot defenceman as they make their march to the postseason, and they did exactly that as they acquired blue liner Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues for defenceman Justin Holl, a first-round pick, and a third-round pick, per Darren Dreger. Faulk has 11 goals and [...]
The Los Angeles Kings continue unloading their wingers. First it was Warren Foegele being sent to Ottawa (that fantasy take can be read here), and now it’s Corey Perry being sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a second-round pick in 2028. That was initially reported by TSN’s Pierre LeBrun. Perry had been productive in [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded winger Bobby Brink to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defenceman David Jiricek, per Frank Seravalli. PuckPedia has Jiříček in the last year of his entry-level deal but he has played just 80 regular season NHL games over the last three seasons. Brink is wrapping up a two-year bridge deal [...]
Fantasy playoffs are here (or right around the corner), which means roster decisions get brutally simple: follow role, follow schedule, and stream categories on purpose. The names below are a mix of “boring but winning” glue pieces, real upside shots with bankable deployment, and one stash-style bet where the situation just changed overnight. The goal [...]
This week with what is hopefully an interesting Trade Deadline Day, we are going to spend some time setting expectations for potential fantasy impact. To do this, we are going to be taking a look back at the 24-25 deadline and see what kinds of impacts it had on players who were at least marginally [...]
Welcome back for another week of ‘Looking Ahead’! While the NHL Trade Deadline is today, most fantasy leagues' internal dates for making deals have passed. Still, the deadline should have a major impact on the fantasy landscape. Whether you are scanning the waiver wire for possible adds or scouring the trade market to improve your [...]
Early Friday morning – depending on where you’re located – the Anaheim Ducks made a deal to shore up their blue line by trading for Washington Capitals defenceman John Carlson, per Elliotte Friedman. Going to Washington is a conditional first-round pick in this year’s draft (it slides to next year if the Ducks miss the [...]
During the Olympic break, I wrote about how Tampa Bay forward Dominic James has some pretty good scoring chance numbers for the Lightning, and that was without often playing with their top stars. He was having a solid rookie season, which is why it was brutal to see he’s going to miss 8-10 weeks with [...]
