Expert and Pro Tier drafts

 

I was lucky enough to be part of the Campbell league draft and online for the experts draft. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Wales draft and by all accounts I missed a great one. The Wales draft has already had a great following online as most GM’s have already expressed their opinions on how it went.

  Both the Fantasy Guide and Draft List were updated as of last night.   Chris Botta reports that Kyle Okposo will require shoulder surgery and is out for two months - or about 30 games. This could have been a big year for him. The door opens wide for Niederreiter, Comeau and Parenteau - [...]

A look at hits and blocked shots

I spent the weekend planning for my favourite league to play in, which is my very competitive friends’ league. After finishing in second place in consecutive years, I thought I’d be pulling a Marian Hossa and be earmarked for a championship. Surely the fantasy hockey gods would be smiling down on me considering two very close and heartbreaking 8-6 and 8-4 losses for the last two campaigns. After coming out pretty happy in my last few drafts, I was pretty confident heading into this one.

 

Boy was I disappointed.

Fantasy Guide - updated through Monday night - can be found here. I hope to have the next update posted by this evening.   The Sharks have cut Cam McIntyre. They are quite high on him, but he has been injured throughout camp.   Zach Boychuk has been cut by the Hurricanes. As I noted [...]

Jason Spezza: Under-Loved and Under-Valued in 2010

Spezza

 

Jason Spezza - What's in Store?

With icons plucked from the famously doomed Roman Empire, a franchise like the Ottawa Senators has to be prepared to weather some downturns in fortune.  Indeed, since advancing to the Stanley Cup final in 2007, and then kicking off the next campaign with 12 wins in 13 games (before collapsing in epic fashion), there hasn’t been much to celebrate in Canada’s capital.

 

But Sens’ fans can take heart, all was not lost after Roman civilization dissolved into the dark ages, and all is not lost in Ottawa.

  Angus here. If you want my take on a player/team/trade/situation or anything else fantasy-related, post it below in the comments! I'll do my best to get to each one for tomorrow's ramblings.   Dobber: The Wings have cut Tomas Tatar. George Malik claims that he bulked up his upper body too much, similar to [...]

Yard Sale Begins

Yard Sale

 

I hate yard sales.  Driving around at the behest of your better half on an otherwise perfectly beautiful weekend browsing through seldom used off items that other people found in a dusty corner of their basement and decided that they don't want or can't use anymore. That said, every now and then you can stumble across a real bargain. The same might be said for these three NHL players who were unceremoniously cast off from their former teams this past summer.

  Dobber: Fantasy Guide is now updated as of tonight. Draft List will be late tonight, or else tomorrow morning.   Kyle Beach and Igor Makarov were among today's Chicago cuts.   Happy October everybody!   With Okposo out, the guy in NYI I am keeping an eye on is Blake Comeau. He’s big and [...]

Looking Ahead: Week 1

Capitals ICON SMI

One of the first things I do during the first few weeks of fantasy hockey is stay away from the teams that play overseas. While a set back after returning to North American soil isn’t always guaranteed, why take the risk so early in the season?

  Washington has named Neuvirth as starting goalie for their opening night contest. I'm not surprised. He's going to be a better goalie than Varlamov both this season and long-term. Unflappable between the pipes.   Vancouver has waived Darcy Hordichuk and Shane O'Brien.   The Fantasy Guide is updated up until last night, and the [...]
