The return of Jordan Staal is stalled
According to William DePaoli of Inside Pittsburgh Sports, there is no timetable for the return of Jordan Staal who is currently recovering from a foot infection. Still walking around in a boot, Staal is nowhere near beginning to skate and could be out until the holidays. Adjust accordingly when drafting him as he has been [...]

According to NHL.com, the Edmonton Oilers placed both Sheldon Souray and Martin Gerbers on waivers today. The Souray move comes as no surprise as team GM Steve Tambellini attempted to trade the veteran defenseman during the offseason before not allowing him to return for training camp. With a rocket of a shot, he could probably [...]

Yesterday, the Carolina Hurricanes re-assigned top forward prospect Zach Boychuk to the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL. While Boychuk showed some promise at the end of last season with five points over his last 20 games, the 20-year-old and former 14th overall pick failed to impress over newcomer Jeff Skinner and failed to show the [...]

29. September 2010
Henrik Sedin has been a hot pick in fantasy drafts this year. In Yahoo! Leagues, he is on average the 5th player off the board and has an Average Draft Position of 6.2. Despite the fact that he won the Hart Trophy and scoring title last year, I can’t bring myself to select him anywhere [...]

When the Pittsburgh Penguins chose not to re-sign veteran winger Bill Guerin, head coach Dan Blysma announced they would play the kids. The only question was which kids would make the cut.

29. September 2010
Olli Jokinen left the Calgary Flames’ pre-season matchup with the Phoenix Coyotes last night in the middle of the second period with an undisclosed mid-body injury. Temporarily stepping in for Jokinen between Niklas Hagman and Jarome Iginla was Alex Tanguay but don’t expect that to be a long term solution. If Jokinen misses any extended [...]

28. September 2010
When analyzing pre-draft rankings, we always notice a few perplexing ratings that leave us wondering why on earth Yahoo! (in this particular instance) would even consider such a far-off ranking. Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf get the luxury of being our shoulder-shrug rankings of the year and, in turn, your steal in the draft. Ryan [...]

28. September 2010
For left wing Matt Beleskey today might as well be Christmas. According to Curtis Zupke of the OC Register, Beleskey will start with both Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf “barring anything unforseen” (aka injuries). We touched a bit on this subject a few days ago, but it appears that Bobby Ryan will be moved from [...]

28. September 2010
The season has not even officially started, and Roberto Luongo will already miss some time with a groin injury. The injury appears to be a mild “tweak” and will hold him out of the next two pre-season games, giving way to the 8.00 GAA of Cory Schneider and the recently signed Eddie Lack. This news [...]
