Every Sunday, we’ll share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week’s 'Daily Ramblings'. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Cam Robinson, and Dobber […]
Ramblings: Roto Rankings Fallers – Burns, Monahan, Kuznetsov, Yandle (Jun 7)
A couple days ago in the Ramblings, I mentioned a few names that I plan to bump up the Roto Rankings when I post the June rankings. Today I’m going to focus on players who will be moving down the rankings. Full disclosure: In adjusting the rankings for June, I have been moving more players [...]
The Journey: Prospects Who Could Join Their Clubs This Summer
Welcome back, prospect enthusiasts. Before I go any further I just wanted to remind that you that the ever so popular Fantasy Prospect Report will be going on sale next week on June 12. Of course, the actual draft date remains unconfirmed. However, an updated version will be made available once the final draft order [...]
Ramblings: Top Frozen Tools Searches – Kubalik, Necas, Panarin (Jun 6)
Even though Phase 2 of the return to play plan begins on Monday, it doesn’t sound like every team will be full steam ahead as far as full practices go. Not every team will open its practice facility on Monday, and many players still won’t be in their home cities by then (not to mention [...]
Frozen Tools Forensics: Playoffs Part II – Unlikely Heroes
So the NHL has a plan. A plan to play. And a plan for the playoffs. Last week we took a look at how players have historically played well in the playoffs (looking at you Logan Couture). This week I wanted to return to an idea I had started with the Wild West column. The [...]
Ramblings: Roto Rankings Risers – Hellebuyck, Makar, Wilson (June 5)
You can now preorder your 2020 Fantasy Prospects Report, which will be available on June 12. Once the final NHL draft order is set, you’ll be able to download an updated copy. It’s a very valuable resource if you would like to keep track of prospects for your keeper team – one that I frequently [...]

Capped: Goalies who could see a bigger opportunity
Cam said it well in yesterday’s Ramblings, as a white male I don’t have the experience to be able to sympathize with the racial injustices in the United States. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t be an ally, and empathize with those who are being persecuted and living in fear. Take a minute before getting [...]
Ramblings: Nichushkin for Selke; looking at nominees for the Vezina and Jack Adams – June 4
In a normal year, the Dobber Prospects Report would already be released, as it’s typically set for distribution every June 1st, allowing fantasy freaks to read up on the prospects they need to know for their dynasty drafts in the summer or fall. It provides the opportunity to do a bit of homework when there’s [...]
Goldipucks and the Three Skaters: Ehlers, Rantanen, & Patty Kane
After a break to focus on goalies, this week it’s back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, which, for new readers, is a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing [...]
