At the risk of sounding like a freshman humanities student that just finished their first philosophy course, much of life is about continuing education and learning from mistakes. It is simplistic, and oft-repeated, but nonetheless true. This holds water for fantasy sports, and in our case, fantasy hockey. Maybe your first three picks for 2016-17 [...]
For the last 14 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. This year, due to Dobber’s battle with cancer, he recruited Cam Robinson (of Frozen Pool Forensics fame) to pinch hit. The 15th annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer.

Throughout the summer, I’m going team by team and reviewing the relevant fantasy performances from the 2016-17 season. Next in line is the Vancouver Canucks. It was obviously a tough campaign for Vancouver and their fans. They finished the season with the second-lowest point total, tied for the third-worst goal differential, and the second-fewest total [...]

Despite Florida's surprising lack of offseason additions to its forward ranks, the defense corps is impressive.

Sometimes top scorers have poor plus/minus, penalty, hits or blocked shots stats rendering them less valuable in multi-category leagues. It’s impossible to factor in all the various league scoring systems out there. With the growing number of [...]
Throughout the summer, I’m going through each team alphabetically to review the relevant fantasy performances in 2016-17, and what that could mean for 2017-18. The next team on the list – at the risk of poking the beehive – is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Auston Matthews Like there’s anyone else to start with. Expectations in [...]
