Alex Goligoski received a four-year extension for big bucks, re-affirming our belief that he is a Top 3 key to the success of the Dallas franchise. He’ll get $4.6 million per. Mike Ribeiro is probably going to return to the lineup tonight. The losing streak factored into this, because he’s been champing at [...]
Playmakers in the East
By this point in the season, fantasy GM’s should be focused on the playoffs. If you’re in contention, you want to make sure you’re building a team that has the best possible chance to win.

He talks about how he's living the dream in his first year in the NHL, how he's actually staying with a billet family instead of [...]

The wave of concussions sweeping the NHL has forced fantasy owners into the role of a diagnostician.

The Ducks re-signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin - three years and $3.5 million per. Great cap hit for their best defenseman (this season, at least). The next DobberNation will discuss the midseason fantasy award winners (and losers) - weigh in with your thoughts here. What concussion? Two points and almost 30 minutes of [...]
