Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the players from development to fantasy relevance. The 2026 NHL Draft class is an interesting one from a fantasy perspective, less about depth across positions and more about identifying where true upside actually lives. While real-life draft boards will be shaped heavily by positional scarcity, fantasy managers [...]
With the NHL season now on pause, I’ll use this time to take a closer look at the top five Frozen Tools searches from the past week. These are the players that fantasy owners are the most curious about, so I’ll share my two cents on each. https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/2019471091127963793 Fraser Minten Minten is off the Frozen [...]
This week’s list is about roles that actually matter, not chasing the last box score. Every player here has either gained meaningful opportunity (more minutes, better linemates, real PP time) or is producing despite a role that deserves closer scrutiny. The focus is signal over noise: ice time, power-play usage, and lineup context that can [...]
This week we are going to take a bit of a left turn and look at some shooting data. Dobber Frozen Tools Reports has a report titled Missed Shots which includes a lot of interesting information about shot attempts, blocked shots, missed shots, goal posts, and crossbars. For today I wanted to focus in on [...]

The goal of this column isn’t just to share picks, but to help you recognize why certain spots have value so you can identify them throughout the season. I’ll be [...]
Well, on a slow work morning in February before the 18-day roster freeze, we have a trade to announce -Nick Bjugstad is on his way to New Jersey!There’s also another deal that went through too that we may/may not need to go over. I,for one, am happy that Artemi Panarin got dealt from a content [...]
We had a couple huge pieces of news on Wednesday, and the first was that New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin would be traded to the Los Angeles Kings in return for prospect Liam Greentree and a conditional 3rd round pick. (That trade was broken by Adam Schefter, of all people.) While Panarin did not [...]
