In part five of fifteen in our look at GM ratings in the West, next up is Hall of Famer Joe Sakic in Colorado. I’ve always been a fan of Sakic as he hails from Burnaby, BC like me and we played soccer against each other as kids (I like to think I helped his [...]
While points-only pools are my favourite type of fantasy leagues, there’s something fun about being in a league with peripherals that give value to players you normally wouldn’t draft. A few years ago, I won a one-year head-to-head Yahoo pool that included PIM, blocked shots and hits, and a large portion of that success was [...]
So Gary Bettman was unable to convince the GMs to hold the draft in early June. Yet. This is unexpected. Bettman is the man who kept the entire group in lockstep during lockout after lockout. He stubbornly kept a hockey team in Arizona, even after a rich person offered an overpayment for the team, and [...]
In the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast's 31 Beats series, Elan and Brian are on a league-wide odyssey to explore the fantasy present and future landscapes of each of the NHL's 31 teams, gathering info by interviewing the people who know them best: beat writers! On Beat #7, The Athletic's Hailey Salvian joins us with [...]
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 […]
In case you missed it, Dobber Prospects head of European scouting Jokke Nevalainen found this nugget on a Finnish website: https://twitter.com/JokkeNevalainen/status/1259152548319186945 Of course, you can view Henrik Borgstrom’s Dobber Prospects profile here. Borgstrom has played in 58 career NHL games, posting just 19 points (9g-10a) while averaging about 12 minutes per game. He has spent [...]
With even the potential of the NHL entry draft taking place next month, I thought it would be best to dive back into the top prospects representing each region. So far, we have covered all of Canada, hitting the WHL, OHL and finally the QMJHL. All of which are filled with their fair share of [...]
In case you missed it, the Capitals have terminated the contract of Brendan Leipsic, who made numerous inappropriate and disgusting remarks on Instagram. Leipsic was scheduled to be an RFA at season’s end, but considering that some of his comments were made toward NHL players, I would think that he’s burned a lot of bridges [...]
The Big Board report is a treasure trove of useful information. This week I was scanning over the columns represented and game winning goals (GWGs) caught my eye (mostly because Leon Draisaitl has 11 on a shortened season and was at the top of the list). GWGs are a bit of an enigma. They are [...]
It’s the end of the week – I think – so let’s have a little bit more fun with posts. For those who missed, I wrote yesterday about what a 2020 Team North America would look like. I had a bit of positive feedback on it, so let’s continue in that similar vein. Instead of [...]
