We’re into August now, and that means the annual Capped Column Buy/Sell feature will be running starting next week (where from each team one player to buy-low on, and one player to sell-high on are profiled). In the meantime, we had news of a large extension drop on Monday morning, as Andrei Vasilevskiy put [...]

Did anybody ever have a strong understanding of what the Minnesota Wild have been doing lately? I sure didn’t, and it appears ownership felt the same way.

Ramblings: Vasilevskiy extended; Devils trade for Gusev; roster battles – July 30
We had two big bits of news on Monday. First, the Lightning extended goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy for eight years with an average annual value of $9.5M.

Top 10 Players That ‘Should’ Be On the Bubble
Last week, all of the writers here at DobberHockey have been talking about our top bubble players. We were given a list of about 144 players that were definite keepers (in other words, in a 12-team league, about 12 keepers each). There were plenty of great suggestions about bubble players (those that weren’t on the [...]
