It’s the 12th annual offseason review of each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint. Every year I run through the teams alphabetically – but switch starting points each year. This year I did something different and reviewed the teams in reverse order of regular season finish. And wouldn’t you know it? I’m all done now. Here were the Top 3 teams in the NHL last season, let’s see if their fantasy outlooks reflect that…

This is my last article for thehockeynews.com and a big thank you to Jason Kay for giving me this opportunity in the fall of 2002. I couldn’t have launched DobberHockey.com in 2005 without this start to my career. Thank you also to former web editor Dirk Soeterik, who was great for me early on. And of course Edward Fraser, Rory Boylen, Adam Proteau and Brian Costello who have all been very supportive over the years. THN.com has come a long way and with this group at the forefront, it’s really no wonder.
And of course thank you, fantasy-hockey fanatic, for checking in on (and hopefully learning from) at least some of my 821 articles for this website over the last 12 years.
