  Angus here. Happy Fourth of July! According to the NY Post, the Oilers offered even more money than the Rangers did for Boogaard. I had a hunch they would. Interesting note from that article - Boogaard is going to Russia this summer to train with Datsyuk.   Rangers prospect rearguard Ryan McDonagh will turn [...]

Hockey

July 1st has come and gone, and for the most part there were no major surprises. The high-end defensemen were all signed very quickly, and all for reasonable cap hits considering that overpayment is usually a necessary aspect of dipping into the free agent market.

 

There are several players who will likely end up on different teams for the 2010-11 season still out there – Ilya Kovalchuk, Tomas Kaberle, Kevin Bieksa, Simon Gagne, Marc Savard, and potentially even Bobby Ryan. There are also a few interesting young players that I want to talk a bit about in more detail.

 

I’ll go into a bit of depth on a fantasy issue or two pertaining to each of the 30 NHL clubs.

  I have some very sad news to pass on. Apparently Bob Probert collapsed on a boat and was rushed to hospital where he passed away. Full (preliminary) story is here. Probert was a feared enforcer, some say the toughest fighter in history - and he could put up points as well, as he did [...]

If there was one subject I loved more than any other in high school and college, it was world and state history. Whether it was the fight for the Alamo or the Civil War, not a day went by where I didn't ponder a country or society’s fight for independence. It was not just a lesson in history’s wild timeline, but a lesson in life and in human nature.

Angus Audits

Are you wondering what your plan of attack should be this summer? Preparing for a draft? Upset about some trades you made in the past? I’ll weigh in with my thoughts on the interesting and important issues.

 

I will be running these audits on a weekly basis throughout the summer. Fire me an e-mail if you want to get in line!

 

Today I’ll be taking a look at the team submitted to me by DobberHockey reader Kody (known as tradejunkie on the forums), who just won his league, but will have to pay a price for it because of an interesting rule change this summer.

  Brandon Yip has agreed to a 2-year, $1.45 million contract The Denver Post has learned. Look for a season in the 40-point range for the energy player.   Dmitry Chesnokov says that Nik Zherdev to the Flyers is a done deal. I'll put up an analysis on that shortly.   Joe Corvo has signed [...]

If you follow junior hockey, then you probably already know the latest must-know news in CHL circles – former head coach of the Windsor Spitfires, Bob Boughner, has signed on as the newest assistant coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets (and if you love junior hockey, but don’t know what I’m talking about, then get familiar with Neate Sager’s Buzzing the Net blog at Yahoo! Sports Canada).
