If it wasn’t the COVID pause that has really stalled out their season, it could be the injuries that have started to pile up for the Stars that may have done them in. There is hope on the horizon for some of their key players, though: https://twitter.com/MDeFranks/status/1380196868240642049 That these guys are skating is a good [...]
The Florida Panthers have started shedding some salary, and it’s begun with Brett Connolly. The former 20-goal scorer had fallen out of favour with the Panthers and was infrequently in the lineup. He has been dealt to Chicago in a significant deal, at least in the number of pieces. It breaks down as follows: To [...]
As I looked at what to write for this week, I realized the list of Restricted Free Agents this year is really long. I figured it worth while to spend this week going over the omitted. Let’s skip the preamble and dive right in: Kirill Kaprizov, Minnesota Wild ($925K, Age 23) The great thing about [...]
Rick Bowness was cleared to return to the team following a false-positive COVID test. This seemed like a likely case of a false positive as it became public that he and some members of the team had already been vaccinated, but it’s always good to get clarity in these situations.

Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third "just [...]
We’re into the first full week of April, which used to mean playoffs would be starting today (they used to start on the Wednesday right? It’s been a while…). Right now though, fantasy playoffs are either approaching, or in some leagues, already upon us. In one of my fantasy leagues we have 16 teams make [...]
With injuries across the league and numerous COVID cases coming up daily it seems, we are always going to be scouring the waiver wire to try and make up our missed games. As we are now on the stretch run of the season and pushing for the playoffs in head-to-head leagues, we cannot afford to [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at how skaters and goaltenders have performed against particular teams in 2021.
