How do we build a winning team?  Everyone knows the old adage of buy low, sell high but how exactly does that look over the course of a season?  To answer the question well, we need to look at how poolies' perceptions vary over the year.

 

It turns out that perceptions follow a very predictable pattern.  Once we identify that pattern, it’s much easier to position our teams to derive value from it.  Taking advantage of this “perception cycle” is a very good way to accelerate a rebuild or just to make your keeper team stronger as the years go on.

  Saturday's ramblings will be posted at approximately 9:30am EST. Had a late night celeberating the Vancouver win!   My fantasy mailbag is open all day!   Pretty big news - Carolina has signed defensive standout Justin Faulk to an entry level contract. Faulk has a lot of offensive upside. He'll need a full AHL [...]

  Interesting to see Sidney Crosby wearing a headset last night up in the management box for the Penguins - apparently he was in close communication with Tony Granato, who runs the offense and forwards.   Dallas prospect Perttu Lindgren recently completed a fantastic season in the SM-liiga. He recorded 66 points in 56 games. [...]

It's part of a new feature where myself and E! chief correspondent Ken Baker each chose our 4 favorite goalies in each conference. Then we argued why that goalie is more likely to win the series.

Dobber

 

The 2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs are set to begin only a few short days from now, and what  better way to celebrate than with the 2011 DobberHockey Playoff Challenge! The fine folks over at ArmChairPools are hosting the pool this spring, and it is completely free to enter! Playoff pools require quite a bit of luck (or intuition, whatever you may call it) to win compared to regular season pools, thanks to the fact that the success of the players you pick is heavily dependent on how long their teams stick around.

  Buy the Draft List here. Update: Based on feedback, I have made changes to the draft list so that it now allows you to choose any team in the second round and re-seed the tree however you like. Since I was already in there anyway, I re-ran "my" personal picks and also added in [...]
