Petr Mrazek and Toronto Agree to Three-Year Contract
Petr Mrazek was expendable in Carolina and that was good news for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Mrazek signed a three-year contract with an AAV of $3.8 million. This will be to serve as a backup for starter, Jack Campbell. Mrazek has been one of the better goaltenders in the league the past couple of seasons. […]

David Savard will call the Montreal Canadiens home for the next four seasons. The veteran defenseman signed a deal on Wednesday that will pay him $3.5 million AAV.

The Seattle Kraken has been active on Wednesday as they announced the signing of Jaden Schwartz. He inked a five-year contract with an AAV of $5.5 million.

Phillip Danault signed with the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday. His deal is for six years at an AAV of $5.5 million. The center had a bit of a down year offensively with just five goals and 24 points in 53 games. This was after seasons of 47 and 53 points respectively. The Montreal Canadiens […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCarter Verhaeghe Signs Extension with Florida Panthers
Carter Verhaeghe got rewarded for a breakout season on Wednesday when he signed a three-year extension for $4.167 million AAV. He was one of the feel-good stories on the season as he racked up 14 goals and 36 points in 43 games last year. Verhaeghe was able to play alongside Aleksander Barkov and not miss […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoPhilipp Grubauer Inks Deal with Seattle Kraken
Seattle Kraken surprised a few pundits by signing Philipp Grubauer to a six-year contract on Wednesday. The former Colorado Avalanche goaltender will be making $5.9 million AAV to start for the expansion team. Grubauer was one of the best goaltenders in the league last year.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoJonathan Bernier Signs Deal with New Jersey
The New Jersey Devils signed veteran goaltender Jonathan Bernier on Wednesday. The contract is for two years with a $4.125 million AAV.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoPat Perez Risky at 3M Open This Week
Pat Perez has been a bit up and down lately. There was the Rocket Mortgage finish where Perez stayed in the top 15 even with a 70 during the final round. However, the John Deere Classic showed that the golfer just could not make enough putts. He missed the cut as a result. The American […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAdam Schenk Could Be Unexpected Good Option at 3M
Adam Schenk ranks 45th on the tour in birdies at 3.92 per round. With the ability to drive balls around 300 yards a hole, that may be enough to get around the TPC Twin Cities golf course. Schenk can get on greens well on easy-to-drive courses. The last two weeks have seen the American golfer […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJhonattan Vegas Could Have More DFS Upside at 3M
Jhonattan Vegas is a top-50 golfer when it comes to making birdies and ranks 12th in driving length at 310 yards. Other than maybe the 70 at the John Deere during the final round, Vegas has shown the ability to drive the ball well and make enough putts to contend at these longer yardage tournaments. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrandt Snedeker Thriving at 3M Open Likely
One of the few golfers that can do well at longer yardage tournaments is Brandt Snedeker. Snedeker has an average drive of just 286 yards. However, he is one of the few golfers who can drop birdies and eagles among the best in the field this week at the 3M Open. Past results at the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoGary Woodland Trying to Bounce Back at 3M
Gary Woodland won the US Open in 2019 but has not found that same form since the pandemic. There have been a few top ten results at the Valero, Charles Schwab, and Wells Fargo. However, the American golfer has not been able to make enough putts. That has resulted in him missing the cut in […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLucas Herbert a Dicey Option at 3M Open
Lucas Herbert can drive a ball around 310 yards but can that putter be trusted? Over the last year, the Australian golfer has not topped -10 at any tournament. Yes, there are always outliers but Herbert just has not shown the ability to sink this many putts. Again, something close to -20 is going to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRobert MacIntyre May Not Be Able to Hang Around at 3M
Robert MacIntyre definitely could have some issues with the long course at TPC Twin Cities. However, he might fare well too. The problem is MacIntyre has finished well last week. At The Open Championship, he fired a 65-67 over the weekend. The problem is can he drop enough birdies? It's a great question given his […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCameron Davis One to Watch at 3M
Cameron Davis hit the ball with purpose a few weeks ago and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic at -18. Let that sink in. Again, it will take about that kind of performance to win at the TPC Twin Cities. This is a par-71, 7400+ yard course. Also, there are plenty of holes where eagles and […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoSergio Garcia 's Putter Could Again be Issue at 3M
Sergio Garcia should typically be expected to thrive in a tournament where distance is an advantage along with tee-to-green play. Garcia ranks 18th with 1.14 strokes gained. The Spanish golfer has excelled in the final rounds of the last two majors shooting 68 and 66 to sneak into the top 20. There will be no […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLouis Oosthuizen Expects to Contend at 3M Tournament
It was a bit of a surprise that Louis Oosthuizen was going to compete at the 3M right after the British Open. The South African golfer shot -11 through two rounds and led most of the championship before Collin Morikawa surged past him on Sunday. Yes, it was another final day where things did not […]

Sunday afternoon features the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 from Loudon, New Hampshire. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on). Our friends at Monkey […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRoss Chastain May Get Tough Knocks This Week at New Hampshire
Ross Chastain helped Kurt Busch win last week at Atlanta when he "blocked" Kyle Busch. This week, Chastain starts 20th and the expectations are that the Chip Ganassi Racing driver may not have an easy time in traffic. He could move up a few positions but New Hampshire has been rough. Chastain has finished 25th […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Briscoe Not Expected to be Factor at New Hampshire
Chase Briscoe has shown improvement and drives very well at road races. However, New Hampshire is not Atlanta and the 1.058-mile track has been tough on lots of drivers. Add in that this is the No. 14's first attempt at the NASCAR level on this track. Do not expect the Stewart-Haas Racing driver to have […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBubba Wallace Has Marginal DFS Possibility at New Hampshire
Bubba Wallace has driven much better on the racetrack as of late. He is making way fewer unforced errors and the results have been tangible. He has six top-20 results in his last seven races and a top-five at Pocono. Last week, Wallace improved ten spots at Atlanta. The 23XI Racing driver is showing glimpses […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChris Buescher Too Dicey for DFS at New Hampshire on Sunday
Chris Buescher has been pretty consistent in the last month. He has finished from 16th to 20th in four races. That was despite a pole position for the second race at Pocono. The Roush Fenway Racing driver just does not seem to have the long-run capability of getting into the top ten. He has just […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoWilliam Byron Just Not a Good Pick This Week at New Hampshire
Maybe William Byron gets to drive close to the front this week but it is more likely that he does not. Byron has now finished 12th or worse in three straight races. At Atlanta last week, the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver started 20th and finished a mere 19th. It was expected he could finish in […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano Has Potential at New Hampshire on Sunday
Joey Logano starts back in 15th on Sunday which seems odd but that is where the metrics and weights are. The Team Penske driver had back-to-back top tens at Pocono but fell back at Road America and Atlanta. This dropped him to sixth in the points standings. Logano, in the past, has been consistent at […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Might Surprise Again at New Hampshire
Matt DiBenedetto has surprised many with a tenth and ninth the past two weeks. He does not have a ride currently for next year. However, the Wood Brothers Racing driver is trying to mount a charge of sorts. The problem was between Darlington and Pocono. In those eight races, DiBenedetto finished between 18th and 24th […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAustin Dillon Has Little Upside at New Hampshire on Sunday
Austin Dillon starts 13th on Sunday at the Loudon track but he likely will not stay there. Dillon has just one top ten result in 11 races in New Hampshire. The Richard Childress Racing driver did finish 13th last year but several racers unexpectedly crashed and there was no Kyle Larson. Metric-wise, Dillon has never […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick Might Not Have Speed to Compete at New Hampshire
Kevin Harvick has an incredible track record at New Hampshire but it appears father time may be catching up to the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. This has been a rough year from a speed and driver standpoint. Harvick has six top-five results but no wins on the 2021 season. At New Hampshire, the No. 4 had […]
