Happy Tuesday y’all! I hope you had a great week. This week we will go over some moves made by Central Division teams and some sleepers/undervalued players that go along with them. This column has previously covered changes in the Atlantic Division and the Metropolitan Division. Chicago Blackhawks: The Blackhawks made moves this summer to [...]
We have reached September and the NHL regular season starts in four weeks. Rookie camps start next week, training camps shortly after that, and then we’re ready to rock for an 84-game campaign. Fantasy hockey draft season is truly here. It is time to look ahead to the season and start our fantasy valuations. I [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about some of the stats that correlate well to future production both among forwards and among defencemen. The next three Ramblings after that focused on forwards whose tracking data improvements portend point production improvements, forwards whose tracking data has declined, and which forwards showed playmaking increases. Today, we’ll [...]
This week we are returning with part three of our playoff series review. In the last two articles we covered the teams that were eliminated in the first round.

For a deeper dive and fantasy perspective, check out Ian Goodings’ take here. - Kirill Kaprizov led the way with his sixth career hat trick, sealing it [...]
The Utah Mammoth announced the signing of Caleb Desnoyers to his three-year entry-level deal. The fourth overall pick from 2025 had 78 points in 45 games with the Moncton Wildcats in the QMJHL this year. It will be interesting to see how the Mammoth decide to use him for the balance of the campaign considering [...]

Hopefully he can return shortly after the holiday break, but it would muddle the Buffalo Sabres crease once again. Michael Kesselring returned for the Sabres [...]
