Miller named Rangers captain, replaces Trouba | Pro Hockey News

J.T. Miller was named captain of the New York Rangers, the 29th captain in franchise history, replacing Jacob Trouba who was dealt to Anaheim. Miller produced 70 points in 72 games last season after arriving from Vancouver, with 35 points from February onward.

Which Rangers players could benefit most from Miller's captaincy in fantasy leagues this season?How should fantasy managers adjust expectations for NYR's power-play units with Miller as captain?What are the realistic ceiling and floor expectations for Miller this season for fantasy purposes?Which Rangers players are most at risk of decreased opportunities if Miller's role expands?

Rangers name J.T. Miller captain in his 1st full season back - ESPN

J.T. Miller was named captain of the New York Rangers, signaling a new leadership era as the club enters training camp. Miller, who helped buoy the team after a midseason return, now carries the C into a season that features a revamped defense led by Vladislav Gavrikov and a coaching shift to Mike Sullivan. With the Trouba trade to Anaheim and a schedule that opens against Pittsburgh, Miller’s role and ice time are primed to influence fantasy output and line combinations early in the year.

Addition by subtraction: The grass is always greener in Leaf Nation - The Globe and Mail

Leafs enter training camp with familiar optimism and questions about replacing Mitch Marner’s production. Easton Cowan pushes for a roster spot as Toronto leans into depth pieces like Nicolas Roy, Dakota Joshua, Henry Thrun, Travis Boyd, Michael Pezzetta and Matias Maccelli to supplement the top line. Marner’s recent trade to Vegas reshapes the ceiling, but Darryl Sittler’s visit underscores a franchise chasing Cup glory without drastic off-season splash.

Which Leafs depth players are most likely to carry significant fantasy value if the team continues to lean on depth rather than star power?How should fantasy managers adjust their Leafs projections after Marner’s trade to Vegas?Which Canucks players should fantasy managers watch for increased value due to Leafs’ depth moves?What schedule patterns could maximize Leafs depth production in the first two months?

College teammates Strand, Helliwell ink deals with K-Wings | Pro Hockey News

Kalamazoo Wings sign two Notre Dame alums, Hunter Strand and Ryan Helliwell, for the 2025–26 season, bolstering Vancouver Canucks’ ECHL-to-NHL development chain. Strand, 22, arrives after an 8-goal, 8-assist 38-game collegiate season and a 111-game Notre Dame ironman stretch, while Helliwell, 23, contributed 2 goals and 10 assists in 113 games at ND and added a clutch outdoor-goal moment at Wrigley Field. Both bring two-way acumen and pro-ready toughness to Kalamazoo as the Canucks look to feed their depth in the system.

Given Strand's durability and ND production, what role might he carve in Kalamazoo and what are his odds for a Vancouver call-up?How might Helliwell’s defensive game and outdoor-clutch moment translate to a pro path?Which path is most likely for Strand and Helliwell to reach the NHL via Vancouver’s system?Which additional ND alumni connections could help Strand and Helliwell in their pro journey?
