In prepping for my own drafts (reading Dobber’s Columns, listening to Keeping Karlsson, you know the things you do), I have been noticing a minor theme; interest in streaks. Players getting hot and going on point runs is something we all have experienced as managers. Sometimes it happens to your players, but it usually seems [...]
Never a dull moment in Buffalo, apparently. The Jack Eichel saga has been ongoing for months now, and there has been no hint of a resolution. From a fantasy perspective, fantasy owners are on edge about what to do here. His ADP is inside the top-100 but that feels like people guessing more than anything. [...]
We are just over three weeks from puck drop on the 2021-22 NHL season. No better way to reignite the Capped article then to start of with a team by team, buy-sell series. I will be excluding all entry-level contract players as well as all your elite players/superstars. Those player values speak for themselves. Player [...]
Dobber Ramblings September 23 Training camps are open! Just a couple months after the end of the 2021 Cup Final, we’re back on the ice. It was a quick turnaround, and I think that’s something that can get lost on us as we head into this season. There are some players that did not get [...]
Free hockey pool player boxes, for those who would like to run simple pools at the office... Every year in April (for the NHL playoffs) and to kick off September (for the regular season) I group players into comparable boxes and post them online for people to enjoy for free. Whether it's for the office [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
Elvis Merzlikins signed the same extension as teammate Oliver Bjorkstrand, which means a $5.4 million cap hit for the next five years. That gives him the edge in the crease over Joonas Korpisalo, just because of the politics. He's someone that might come at a bit more of a discount than your average starter come [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss Ty Smith and Mackenzie Weegar – defensemen that may be slightly overvalued in this year’s fantasy drafts. Ty Smith The 21-year-old defenseman finished his rookie campaign with solid numbers, posting 23 points in 48 appearances. His output was bolstered by a hot start that saw him register eight [...]
Here are the Top 100 goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - September edition! DobberHockey's 16th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide is out now, fully updated and ready for download. Pick it up here! Not a lot has happened in the past month so changes were minimal. I did some adjustments with overall team [...]
Summer is gone, fall is here, and with it comes NHL training camps. It sure seems like the summer flew by, right? I guess that’s what happens when free agency beings four days from August. Either way, rookie camps have finished and regular camps are set to start later this week. If you want a [...]
