WHICH NHL TEAM HAS THE BEST FORWARD PROSPECTS? (2012 EDITION)
Posted on 25 May 2012 by Corey Krakower.
At the start of every offseason, there are typically disappointed fans from 29 teams that are mentally thinking about trades their team can make and players their team can sign that can make them a Stanley Cup contender. What is often forgotten is that the most effective way to improve an NHL team instantly is to typically by promoting top prospects that are already part of the organization. Th...

The Bad Old Ways
Posted on 1 Feb 2012 by Doug Podkowsky.
ANA – 4 PHX – 1 F The Coyotes returned to action at Jobing.com Arena after the much-needed All-Star break. Seems like some of the players thought they were still on break. The last place Anaheim Ducks rolled into town and with 3 goals over a span of 8 shots midway through the 2nd, the Ducks chased goalie Mike Smith and made quick work of the Coyotes. The second period belonged to the Ducksâ...

Devils Make a Small But Important Move
Posted on 12 Dec 2011 by Jordan DiRisio.
The Devils have traded D Mark Fraser C Rod Pelley and a 7th round draft pick to Anaheim for G Timo Pielmeier and D Kurtis Foster. The trade seems small but is definitely a good move for the Devils who have sorely lacked backend scoring this year. Foster doesn't bring an elite offensive skill set, but more than any other Devils' D except Larsson. The players the Devils lost are no surprise Pelle...

Shakeup in Anaheim
Posted on 1 Dec 2011 by Jordan DiRisio.
The Ducks have jumped on the early Christmas present given to them by the Washington Capitals booting Randy Carlyle and snagging Bruce Boudreau who was fired by the Caps this week. I think we all knew Boudreau would get another job but certainly not this soon. This move leads me to believe that Bobby Ryan will probably stay with the Ducks at least for a while everyone knew it was him or Carlyle...

Anaheim Ducks Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The 2010-11 season was decent for the Anaheim Ducks, considering they are in a transition phase. Starting last year and continuing into this year, the Ducks will be replacing some of their aging players with young talent in the system. The projected depth chart below assumes Teemu Selanne will return for virtually the same salary as last year. In addition, Brandon McMillan, Nick Bonino, Matt Be...

30 NHL Prospects Ready for Prime Time
Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Cap space has become one of the best assets a team can have in the NHL’s Salary Cap Era. One of the easiest ways for a GM to give himself cap flexibility is to use roster spots on rookies that carry entry level deals, and that’s precisely what teams are doing. NHL rosters were loaded with rookies during the 2010-11 season, and the trend is expected to continue in 2011-12. As fans start to p...

Radical Realignment Idea
Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Eric Cooney.
How many times has this happened to you; you're at your house watching the hockey game and a friend (and non-hockey fan) comes over and asks, “What quarter is it?” Hockey is dominated by threes. Three periods, three zones, three forwards on a line, three goals for a hat trick. There are 30 teams in the NHL, so why not three 10 team divisions?

NHL Playoffs – Round 1 Observations
Posted on 25 Apr 2011 by Kirk Butler.
Officiating: It's Time for Consistent Incompetency It has never been more clear that officiating in the NHL is inconsistent and for fans utterly frustrating. As a former official I can attest that it is virtually impossible to call every infraction however good officials typically limit their calls to infractions that are too obvious to ignore and infractions that negate a scoring chance. ...

Ducks Nail The Flames Coffin Shut
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Too many times this year I have had to analyze a Flames game only to come up with the same answers. Miikka was adequate but not strong. The forwards need depth and speed. The defense is actually pretty good but overpriced. In a game the Calgary Flames desperately had to win in order to keep any realistic hope of a playoff berth alive they really came out of the gate flat again despite a early f...

Game Day – 3/9/11 – Rangers @ Ducks
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
With the Sabres and Devils losing last night, the Rangers find themselves back on good ground with their fate somewhat in their own hands. And by the time the puck drops in Anaheim tonight, the Rangers will have more of their destiny lined up for them as the Hurricanes will have certainly finished up their game against the Thrashers. The standings before today’s game… Standings 3/9 As y...
