Okay, okay. Not a great title but with not much happening in the NHL the past few days, it was kind of difficult to come up with something clever.
Las Vegas D-man Nate Schmidt was suspended 20 games for substance abuse. Look elsewhere as the Golden Knight defenseman will be hard-pressed to put up numbers at the same pace as his career best 36-point 2017-2018 season. He wasn't much of a scorer in the previous 2 full NHL seasons and 2 half seasons, so it's best to cut wood or scratch him off your draft list.
Two NHL veterans signed contracts to play overseas. F Tanner Glass signed to play in France while D Alexei Emelin signed a 3-year deal to play in the KHL. Both players weren't fantasy relevant anyway.
Lastly, the PrimePucks(tm) Fantasy Hockey Draft Guide has been updated along with the 2018-2019 pre-season Goalie Rankings being uploaded on the Home Page, joining the Team and Prospect Rankings. Defensemen and Forward Rankings to follow, so check back.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!
Ciao for now,
