Kraken’s Vince Dunn gets 4-year, $29.4M deal off career year
Dunn, 26, had a career-high 14 goals and 64 points in the regular season playing in the top defensive pairing for the Kraken. Teamed with veteran Adam Larsson, Dunn enjoyed the breakout season many expected when he was taken by Seattle during the expansion draft before its inaugural season. Dunn was a restricted free agent […]

Continue readingRest-of-season rankings: The most improved players
There isn’t anything special about the rankings here compared to every week, but that’s because these rest-of-season rankings aim to capture a snapshot of what a draft might be like every single week of the season. With that in mind, we are going to highlight some of the biggest swings in value since the puck […]

Elsewhere, the Islanders are hoping to rebound off this week’s uncharacteristic 7-4 loss to the Blues. A big ask, considering they’re facing the red-hot Devils in New Jersey. The Isles are better at home than on the road. A later-night highlight features Connor McDavid and the Oilers hosting the Wild after losing in Minnesota 5-3, […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Can these disappointing starters turn it around?
Injuries don’t count, so Zach Werenski and Josh Norris get a pass. Rookies don’t count either, so we aren’t bothering with Marco Rossi and Shane Wright. This is about established NHLers with a reliable baseline coming well short of expectations. They are arranged by how much they are missing the preseason projections I assigned to […]

The Capitals and Canucks renew acquaintances, this time in Vancouver, after combining for 10 goals in D.C. back on Oct. 17. Two Central Division teams on the upswing do battle when the Avalanche visit the Jets in Winnipeg. I’m not sure we should expect too much scoring in what presents as a fierce goaltending battle […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Why these two Coyotes can keep scoring
Jakob Chychrun and Nick Schmaltz returned to the lineup for the Arizona Coyotes for the first time this season (basically, as Schmaltz was hurt two minutes into the opener and Chychrun hadn’t yet played in 2022-23). In four games since then, the upstart Coyotes have earned four of a possible eight points (great by their […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: What’s behind Mikhail Sergachev’s rise?
Since the change, the Bolts advantage has gone six-for-19 on the advantage (31.6%). On the surface and certainly by the statistics, Sergachev is beating Hedman when it comes to fantasy value. But don’t be so hasty now. Sergachev deserves to push up these rankings. His offense off the power play has leveled up, with 10 […]

Brandon Montour (up one spot to No. 158) has been dazzling on the point for the Panthers for the past few weeks, sitting sixth in fantasy points among defensemen. Hampus Lindholm (up eight spots to No. 189) has been nearly as good for the Boston Bruins and sits 11th among defenders. So why are they […]
