BIG WEEK, BIG NAMES, GUIDE UPDATED! Lots going on this week as we head into Fantasy Hockey draft season.  Training camps opened up and some long-running rumors come to an end.  A big name signing extension, 2 huge names traded within the span of a few days and a retirement announcement. WINGED WHEEL DONE:Henrik Zetterberg has officially announced that his NHL career has come to a close as his wonky back will prevent him from performing up to his golden standards. He will surely be missed. STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT!: The three biggest rumors making headlines this summer included the possible free agency next summer of Dallas Star (hehe) Tyler Seguin.  Seguin took his name out of the rumor mill with a contract signing locking him up for an additional 8 years.  Congrats to Seguin on landing the huge contract worth just a tad under $80 million.  WOW! MAX PACKS HIS BAGS, STAYS IN VEGAS and SHARK BITES: The other two rumors involved trade rumors.  One we have already covered in our Prime Views, click here, on Monday with the trading of Montreal Canadien Max Pacioretty to the Las Vegas Golden Knights. The other long-running rumor finally came to fruition with the Ottawa Senators trading D Erik Karlsson to the San Jose Sharks for a couple of prospects, a depth forward and a few draft picks. All I have to say is I hope the Senators hit the jackpot with those picks because they got skunked in this trade.  The haul from the Pacioretty trade was much more significant than what the Senators received.  Another some salt to the wound is that the Senators, primed now for a shot at the Jack Hughes lottery, gave that up with trading their 1st round pick in 2019-20 to the Colorado Avalanche for Matt Duchene.  OUCH! Players coming back to the Ottawa Senators in the Karlsson trade are C Chris Tierney, C Josh Norris, LW Rudolfs Balcers and D Dylan DeMelo.  They will also receive a 2nd round 2019 draft pick, a 2020 1st round draft picks and a couple other conditional picks. With training camps opening up, it's a good time for those who have completed their fantasy drafts already to see how the players they selected and took chances are fare. And for those who are preparing for their upcoming drafts, a time to see if their premonitions about certain players hold water or time to look elsewhere. The 2018-2019 PrimePucks™ Fantasy Hockey Draft guide has been updated through this morning’s news. 

Tierney registered two assists in 11 games with the Sharks, but has been sent down to make room for Tyler Kennedy who has been activated from IR and is expected to make his season debut tonight.
