Pittsburgh Penguins General Manager Ray Shero chose to use much of his available cap space this summer on defencemen.

 

Looking at the Penguins roster, they have three spaces to fill and, according to CapGeek.com, have only $724,785 to spend on each opening. That’s not much higher than the NHL’s minimum salary.

  I'll throw my hat in the ring here. No "insider sources," just me and my keyboard.   Kaberle gets traded to San Jose for Ryane Clowe and a draft pick.   Kevin Bieksa gets traded toWashington for one of Fleischmann/Chimera/Steckel and a pick or prospect.   Sheldon Souray ends up with the Ducks, and [...]

Ivan Hlinka Tournament Review

By |2010-08-14T18:55:17-04:00August 14th, 2010|z-Archives (other articles)|

 

The Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament is one of the first tests a draft-eligible prospect will face as they attempt to prove themselves worthy of a pick. Oddly enough, the class’s top two talents- Adam Larsson and Sean Couturier- were ineligible due to age, leaving the field wide-open for surprises. Beyond a Gold Medal game in which one goal made all the difference- literally- who stood out at the Hlinka?

  I am heading out for the afternoon, so if something actually happens regarding Kaberle, I'll be all over it this evening.   The 2010-11 Pool Guide has been updated as of August 10th, and if Kaberle is traded today, we'll get back to work on it! Buy the Guide here.   Billy Sweatt becomes [...]

  The Fantasy Guide can be purchased here. It was last updated August 10 and should have another update by tomorrow.   Tampa has just traded Kari Ramo to the Habs for Cedrick Desjardins. An interesting move that I will research and blog about in tomorrow's ramblings (which I'll probably post in two or three [...]

The Diabolical Backups

Listen for the soft steps of the Diabolical Backups, lest you fall victim to a sneak attack! Those pesky, conniving, crafty, devious teammates are like a swarm of locusts digging into your skin. They test the patience, irritate the mind and eat away at one’s focus. They pressure starters to play at their best on a nightly basis, and like a virus, can exponentially destroy confidence from within. The diabolical backups - they force other goalies to keep their foot on the gas. The diabolical backups - anything can happen when a starter’s playing time is cut in half.

  Sean Bergenheim has signed a one-year deal with Tampa Bay, per James Mirtle. I'll put up an analysis on that shortly.   Some notes - still hoping to get the new shop page set up today, but may hold off until tomorrow. We're close though. The Fantasy Guide is updated but I haven't uploaded [...]

Forget Me Not (West 2010)

Following the same footsteps as last year, here’s a list of some of the Western Conference underachieving veterans from last season. Many of them underachieved or were simply injured which resulted in them churning out horrible overall numbers for 2009-10. Those low numbers could lead them to be undervalued, so make sure you make a mental note of these players and don’t fall into the trap of undervaluing them like some of your competitors might on draft day.

  I have an update about the new shop - I've seen it, tried it, it works, it's lovely. But we're going to work on the Downloads section so that you can filter out older documents as needed. When that is complete - hopefully within a day or two - we'll go live with the [...]
