Five Red Wings To Watch Heading Into NHL Training Camp

Five Red Wings To Watch Heading Into NHL Training Camp

September 4th, 2013 The NHL is set to open training camps in just over a week. With the summer spending spree all but over, teams must now evaluate their latest transactions, as well as their established pieces, in order to name a starting roster for the October 1st and 2nd season openers. The Detroit Red Wings had a fairly busy off-season. The...

Detroit Red Wings Mikael Samuelsson: IR To All-Star?

August 23rd, 2013 The last time Mikael Samuelsson played a full season for the Detroit Red Wings it was 2008-09, and he was 32 years young. That year the Red Wings lost in the Stanley Cup finals to the Pittsburgh Penguins, coming just short of capturing their second back-to-back Stanley Cup championship in twelve years. Samuelsson was an integral part...

Mikael Samuelsson: Wasted Season Equals Wasted Salary For Detroit

May 30th, 2013 When Red Wings general manager, Ken Holland signed Mikael Samuelsson to a 2-year, $6 million contract on July 1st, 2012, he thought he was signing the Swedish, right-winger that helped the Florida Panthers reach the playoffs for the first time in 10 seasons in the 2011-2012 season. He started the 2011-2012 season with Vancouver...
Red Wings Off-Season: I Give Them an A

Red Wings Off-Season: I Give Them an A

October 29th, 2012     Many adjectives have been used to describe the Detroit Red Wings off-season disastrous, disappointing, sub-par  unproductive, ineffective, fruitless – the list can go on and on. For such a storied franchise that always seems to be the talk of the NHL in terms of getting it right they seemed to have done a 180...

Red Wings Sign Familiar Faces Samuelsson, Tootoo; Trade Coming?

July 1st, 2012 As Sunday’s “free agent frenzy” dwindled the Detroit Red Wings decided to liven things up a bit, making two rapid fire signings that took Hockeytown by surprise, the first of which brings a former Wings player back into the fold. https://twitter.com/DetroitRedWings/status/219556122774867968 MLive’s Ansar Khan (among...
Is your team stacked with notable playoff performers? Eastern Conference Edition

Is your team stacked with notable playoff performers? Eastern Conference Edition

April 10th, 2012 With the 2012 playoffs looming, it is a good time to have a look at which NHL players are renowned for bringing their game to the next level. Players like Claude Lemieux, Esa Tikkanen and Ken Linseman have offered great playoff performances over the years despite their less-than-stellar play during the regular season, while other...
Panthers Peaking At The Right Time

Panthers Peaking At The Right Time

March 16th, 2012 On Sunday, I commented on how an upcoming 4 game homestand would be crucial for the Panthers trying to play their first playoff game since April of 2000.  Now 3 of the 4 games are behind them, and Florida has played 3 of their most complete games of the year, outscoring their opponents 13-4, and climbing to just 2 points behind 2nd...
Panthers Save Their Season... Again

Panthers Save Their Season... Again

March 5th, 2012 Hockey is a funny thing.  For the 6th time in the last 8 games, the Florida Panthers found themselves in a 2-0 hole.  This time, the opponent was the Ottawa Senators, a team Florida had lost to in 9 straight meetings.  And coming into the game on a 2 game losing streak in which the Cats had scored just once, things...
Panthers Lay Low On Deadline Day; Are the Pieces Already In Place?

Panthers Lay Low On Deadline Day; Are the Pieces Already In Place?

February 27th, 2012 The Florida Panthers were quiet on Deadline Day, having made their moves in the days prior.  General Manager Dale Tallon added Jerred Smithson from the Predators and Wojtek Wolski from the Rangers, and both players have paid immediate dividends.  Smithson has shown his skills in the face-off circle, averaging a 56.7% success rate...

Fantasy - The Waiver Wire and Shooting Percentages: Tlusty, Brassard, Purcell and more

February 25th, 2012 Painting a Picture with Shooting Percentages Shooting percentage is often a key determinant when evaluating a player’s production or lack thereof. It is often overlooked, as in fantasy leagues, one would routinely gather potential by looking at goals, assists, shots and the line combinations rather than analyzing percentages of what...

After the Break All-Stars: Koivu, Samuelsson, Sabres and More

February 1st, 2012 By every season’s end, there’s at least one player who breaks out in remarkable fashion, putting up totals that even star players might have difficulty sustaining.  This player provides an incredible edge in many fantasy formats and is likely the reason as to why the fantasy champion is collecting either bragging rights or cash come...

20 Players to Watch Under 20% Owned: Shaw, Desharnais and more

January 18th, 2012 In fantasy hockey, it is key to realize that it's not always the superstars that drive your team, but the depth players who can produce while your star players may be slumping or injured. This week, we're going to take a look at players who could add some solid depth scoring down the stretch of the season. Follow me on twitter for some...

By Trading Booth, Tallon Eyes The Future

October 24th, 2011 Dale Tallon, the General Manager of the Florida Panthers, struck again over the weekend by completing a trade with the Vancouver Canucks that proved that the rebuilding process did not end with the large haul of free agents this past summer. On Saturday night, Tallon sent David Booth, Steven Reinprecht, and a third-round pick to the...

Dale Tallon wants performance - sends message with quick changes!

October 23rd, 2011 The Panthers started off the season nicely, winning 3 of their first 4 games.  Then, things quickly turned south with back to back losses (note, both losses were to teams that had lost a combined 1 game)!!!   How did Dale Tallon respond to this type of performance?  Well, within minutes of the start of Saturday night's game, it was...
