Happy draft day everyone, and greetings from Las Vegas. I have been in Vegas a few days now and have been enjoying spending time with some friends from the community. Some cold drinks have been enjoyed here in the blistering heat and some good hockey conversations as well. Here is a summary of some of [...]
Welcome to my 2024 final draft rankings, and the first time I am publicly posting my draft rankings. What you need to know about my rankings. First these are the rankings I will use for my fantasy drafts. That means this is not a mock draft, and not a projection of how the actual [...]
As I try to block out as much noise around me as possible on my two-hour break by blasting Tyler Childers at a volume that will damage my ears long-term, I tried to think of a unique thing to talk about in my first prospect ramblings in a hot minute. While talking about how [...]
Well... the short answer is yes. The long answer? Abso-frickin-lutely. Even the biggest Zach Benson fans didn't expect him to be in the NHL in his D+1, but none of them were shocked his skills translated so quickly.

These are meant to give an idea of who has a good shot to make the opening night roster, likely to get cups of coffee, or [...]

While most of the standouts in this years' draft are hovering around six feet, Russian dman Anton Silayev quite literally STANDS OUT from the crowd. At 17 years old, Silayev stands [...]
Well.. it's been a hot minute since I've done a prospect ramblings, but what better time to resume these bad boys than now -- Early September -- Prime hockey season. The KHL kicked off a few days ago, and I've been having a great time watching top Matvei Michkov get... absolutely 0 gameplay. My [...]
I'm writing this post with about 20 minutes left in the memorial cup final, and it appears that Patrick Roy will coach his Quebec Remparts to a championship win. While the excitement of the Memorial Cup won't wear off for a while, it is definitely time to be thinking about next season. The Seattle [...]
