Capped: Positional Scarcity and Buy/Sell
Just a few days ago we finished up a fantasy baseball draft on the forums (I know this isn’t what you’re coming here to read about, but there is a point to this). You can find the picks here if you’re really interested. With our league setup, there’s a focus on starting pitchers, and [...]
Ramblings: Chabot and Kapanen Injured; Update on Lehner; Sprong; Mrazek; Gallagher; Werenski – March 14
One big injury update from Wednesday was that Ottawa star defenceman Thomas Chabot has been diagnosed with a broken toe and is week-to-week. The team has 12 games left and were this any other organization, I would say that rushing back the franchise cornerstone player from a broken bone in a completely lost season [...]
Roos Lets Loose: Who is the Fantasy MVP?
Welcome to the second edition of “Forum Buzz,” a column where I dissect popular recent posts from the DobberHockey Forums. Pretty much anything within the forums might be covered, other than trades (those usually will get their own separate write-ups on the site and are also covered in the next day’s Ramblings) and signings [...]
Ramblings: Updates on Perron and Grzelcyk; Kravtsov; Ristolainen; Heponiemi; Robert Thomas – March 13

Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen – March 2019
Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league - March edition! As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal and at that point are a matter of team needs or personal bias. Sunday I posted the Top 200 fantasy prospect forwards [...]
Ramblings: Updates on Hart, Lehner, Larkin, and Tatar; Robert Thomas; Jake Guentzel; More – March 12
Tomas Tatar was skating with the Canadiens at practice on Monday after missing their last game with an illness. Normally this isn’t worth reporting but given that we saw Mike Green shut down for the year with a virus, it seems we’re at the point where we need to share when a player returns [...]
