“It's better to finish at the peak or soon after it, than to wait until the audience notices a decline.” This quote comes from German composer and double bassist Eberhard Weber. I’m pretty sure he was referring to playing music, but he very well could have been talking about rostering players in fantasy hockey. All [...]
I’m starting to wonder if it’s better to just swing for the fences with every draft pick. To always go for that Golden Boy, even if it means waiting two to four years. Take the sure prospect and ignore the hunch prospect. Or leave the “hunch prospect” for the final pick, if you really need [...]
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, Alexander MacLean, and Dobber ___ 1. In the span of just over a week, Spencer Knight has already picked up three wins. This is much earlier than we [...]
So rather than the traditional format of focusing on a single player and their journey to becoming a fantasy-relevant hockey player, I thought most readers are now heading into playoff territory and would be more helpful to cover multiple players who might still be available in your fantasy leagues. Finding value can be tough at [...]
Just call it Super Saturday, where all of the NHL’s active 31 teams except Winnipeg were in action. It was the kind of day where Craig Smith was way more valuable to fantasy owners than David Pastrnak.

Here is a quick update: Eeli Tolvanen was finally beginning to find his footing at the NHL level with 10 points in his most recent eight games. At the time last week’s edition was posted, however, he [...]
Don’t look now, but your boy is on a bit of a roll to end off the regular in style. Last week’s 5-1 overall showing and Gold, Silver, Bronze sweep pushes my 2021 record north of the .500 mark for the first time since the start of the 2021 campaign - lots more where that [...]
Holy games! You can’t pack more hockey into a Saturday if you tried as there’s a whopping 15 games on tap and every team is in action except the Winnipeg Jets. I’ll pretend I didn’t look ahead to the one, single game scheduled for Sunday and just try to enjoy Saturday first. Of those 15 [...]
Now that it’s crunch time in many fantasy leagues, we’re discussing the schedule more and more. Friday’s schedule featured just four games, which depending on the players you own may or may not be the best day to try to make up ground. My two teams still in head-to-head playoffs featured three or four active [...]
