Saturday, February 7, 2009. Once again this list is a resource to gauge trade value for the majority of superstars in the NHL. The idea behind it is number 50 was a player I would not trade for number 49, number 49 was a player I would not trade for 48 all the way to the number one player, a player who I would not trade straight up for any other individual. On to the list for January. 50 Derick Brassard - C - CBJ. 49 Patrick Marleau - C - SJS. 48 Devin Setoguchi - RW - SJS. 47 Anze Kopitar - C - LAK.

Friday, November 14, 2008. Leaf Nation ignoring their stars? During the first two months of a fantasy season any player that shows any signs of being productive is generally snapped off the waiver wire. Players like Aaron Voros, Louie Erikkson and Trent Hunter are generally snapped up and sent packing within a couple of weeks. Did Ron Wilson and Cliff Fletcher really sell Leaf Nation on them being that bad? Ron Wilso.

Thursday, February 5, 2009. The Islanders have clinched a spot in the lottery and outside of a winning streak will assure themselves of either Tavares or Hedman. The Leafs are breaking the hearts of the faithful with some inspired play, the have dropped out of the lotto zone and have some sucking to do to re-enter the Tavares hunt. Inspired victories like last night are ill advised if they are to succeed in avoiding the Ballard years.
