The Value 25

The best way to describe this list is if you go to the waiver wire in your individual fantasy league (personally, I use Yahoo!) and find that Alexei Ponikarovsky, Tim Connolly, or Ryan Clowe are all available, this list is not for you. The Value 25 is a watch list intended for deep fantasy [...]

Morris Returns to the Desert, Seidenberg Takes Over

Last year Derek Morris moved from the Phoenix Coyotes to the New York Rangers at the trade deadline.  Today, the Boston Bruins moved him for a 4th round draft pick in 2011.  The 31-year-old moves back to the desert as the Coyotes look to add some more depth on their blue line.

Second Pairing Defensemen Equals Second Round Pick

Not once, but twice today we have seen a solid second-pairing defensemen moved for a second round pick. The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Jordan Leopold for their second round selection after reportedly refusing to part with the pick for Raffi Torres.  This move will push either Jay McKee or Alex Goligoski out of the Penguins top six [...]

Bruins Sign Miroslav Satan

Once a prolific scorer, Miroslav Satan, 35, has been reduced to a declining veteran with very little game left in him.  Didn’t we say the same thing about Paul Kariya, 35, Bill Guerin, 39, and Vaclav Prospal, 34 – all players who are helping the majority of fantasy teams this season.
