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 [...]
Yesterday in these Ramblings, we discussed the impact of free agency and signings on either the acquiring team or the team losing a player. There has been some recent movement in the league that I haven’t touched on yet and is important to get to. For that reason, we’ll be talking about a lot of [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss the fantasy impact of some recent signings. In particular, we’ll get into Tony DeAngelo’s new contract with the Flyers and Ondrej Palat’s deal with the Devils. The cap information is taken from Cap Friendly. Tony DeAngelo Signed: $5 Million x 2 Years with Philadelphia DeAngelo had a strong [...]
Free agency has settled considerably and though there still are some significant names left, even outside Nazem Kadri, many teams have done most of the shopping they’re going to. Or, at least, all the significant shopping they’re going to do. For anyone who wants to read on the individual impacts from the signings, we covered [...]
The Predators re-signed Filip Forsberg to an eight-year $8.5 million AAV contract which should come as a huge relief to their fanbase. Nashville has been able to keep its core intact for this upcoming season. GM and Coach David Poile will be entering his 16th season as the GM in Nashville after being GM in [...]
The last few weeks have seen plenty of player movement, and most fantasy general managers prefer to look at the optimistic side of things. A free agent signing means a player will get a top-six role on a new team with top power-play usage or a major trade opens things up for other players to [...]
Now that the dust has somewhat settled on free agency, it’s a good idea to examine the ripple of effect of some of the signings. Everyone likes to talk about what a player’s new team will mean for them and their teammate’s fantasy value, but what about the team they left behind? Take Johnny Gaudreau [...]
Every Sunday, we 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. There were lots of signings with significant fantasy impact to discuss this past week, as Free Agent Frenzy went full throttle. For [...]
The Penguins made two trades on Saturday. First, they traded John Marino to the Devils for Ty Smith and a 2023 third-round pick. For the Devils side of the trade, you can check out the Fantasy Take here. Where’s the Pittsburgh side, you ask? Well, I included it in there at first. Then the Penguins [...]
The Montreal Canadiens have traded defenseman Jeff Petry and forward Ryan Poehling to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Mike Matheson and a 2023 fourth-round pick. This is the second trade involving defensemen that the Penguins made on Saturday, as they also sent John Marino to New Jersey for Ty Smith and a 2023 third-round pick earlier [...]
