Kristian Tanus is an 18-year-old forward who was passed over in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but he’s getting some serious consideration this time around. NHL Central Scouting has him ranked 63rd among international skaters. Being ranked in that range suggests a late round pick in the draft. But then again, last year they [...]
Every year, NHL teams sign a bunch of free agents out of European pro leagues. Most of them don’t amount to anything but occasionally there are some players who become fantasy relevant. Here are some players who will likely draw interest this summer. The top player available this summer is 24-year-old winger Ilya [...]
Bob McKenzie just released his highly anticipated mid-season draft ranking, and I also had the pleasure of getting an early look at Cam Robinson's upcoming ranking (it should be published soon!), so now is a perfect time to provide an update to our consolidated 2019 NHL Entry Draft rankings. Here's a link to our [...]

It’s the final day of 2018, and that means the only thing worth discussing right now is what’s happening at the World Juniors. The games are played at a terrible time for us Finns because the first games start at 11 PM whereas the last games start at 5:30 AM. Because of that, I’ve [...]
The World Junior Championship tournament is just two days away. All teams have been playing pre-tournament games which are a great way to see how players are being utilized. Anything can change during a tournament but final pre-tournament lines are usually what you’ll see in the first game of the actual tournament. Because of [...]
The start of the 2019 World Junior Championship tournament is just nine days away.
