Camps open up in 11 days and hockey poolies are very interested in the kids that will be in camp with a legitimate shot at a roster spot. This week and next, we’ll analyze the odds of a rookie cracking the lineup and what kind of impact we can expect to see in the campaign ahead.
Hockey pool announcement in the forum. Invitations to the DobberHockey pool - Entry Division - have been sent to the 12 winners. Andrei Taratyukhin has signed a three-year deal to play for Ufa in Russia, according to a pair of Russian sources. He is ranked 147 on my Fantasy Prospects list, but will likely fall out of [...]
It looks like Martin Gelinas is close to re-signing with the Florida Panthers. He was hoping to play in Western Canada but recieved little interest. Los Angeles has inked prospect Thomas Hickey to an entry level contract. Don't expect him to play pro hockey this year. Carolina has re-acquired Matt Cullen from the Rangers in exchage [...]
The Russians swore this team they were sending their best. Pinky-swore it, in fact. But several mind-numbing coaching decisions and two critical injuries have negated what could easily have been a, super series. Here's who's stood out for the Russians- and who is out all together- as the series comes back to Canada 4-0 in favor of the red and white (the other red and white).
As I have alluded to all week, the Leafs have indeed signed Tony Salmelainen. The contract is a two-way deal so I would seriously doubt that he will make the big club. Between he and Simon Gamache, the Marlies have two high-scoring forwards that could very well do what Haydar and Stering did in the [...]
The 2007-08 NHL season is fast approaching. Many of you are getting ready for your fantasy hockey seasons. Besides getting player knowledge, there is a lot to do to prepare.
Whether you are a commissioner of a fantasy hockey league or just a team manager you should be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of having an automatic draft and a live draft.
The Top 100 Fantasy Defensemen have been updated for September. The Top 300 Fantasy Players have been updated for September. The Sharks have signed Patrick Marleau to a two-year extension, thus putting to rest any and all trade rumors involving him. Thanks to "Pete" for the link. By the end of today, I will have 560,000 page [...]
Of course - the day I say that Jussi Jokinen may be waiting if he wants more than $3 million (source: The Hockey News), he turns around and signs for ... $3.6 million...good thing it was for over two years, or both THN and I would have a little egg on our faces. Henrik Zetterberg bowed [...]
DobberHockey introduces a new a feature column into the fold. School of Block will give you the fantasy spin on the latest goaltending news from around the league. Justin Goldman of the Hockey Guild will pen the piece.
FOR THOSE ABOUT TO BLOCK, WE SALUTE YOU!
Let's take a look at the Western Conference situation between the pipes...
Once again I was very impressed by the checking line of Team Canada this morning. Milan Lucic, Brandon Sutter and Stefan Legein were fantastic. Not seeing a whole lot of fantasy value, with the exception of Lucic who could be a 70-point and 120+ PIM player in six years. New Jersey prospect Alexander Vasyunov was used [...]
