With injuries mounting and the team not looking very strong to begin with, the Flyers are facing a huge uphill battle from the outset. New coach John Tortorella, who is very much known for not going easy on his players, didn’t take long to make his mark on this roster on the first day of [...]
Last week I touched on some potential sleeper picks to keep your eyes out for, the same will go for this week. With the amount of depth that is in the NHL these days, the list of guys who have the potential to out-rank their respective average draft position has deepened as the years have [...]
Training camps have opened, though the first day of camp is a lot of off-ice work, including team physicals. To that end, there really wasn’t a lot of information to pass back to the reader, but there are always injury updates. First, we got one from Toronto, which includes the timeline for Timothy Liljegren’s injury: [...]

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 [...]
Within the span of an hour yesterday we had retirement announcements from three excellent defencemen over the last two decades, with Zdeno Chara, P.K. Subban, and Keith Yandle all hanging up their skates. Chara leaves as the all-time games played leader among defencemen, a cup winner in 2011, and a virtual lock for the Hall [...]
This week, Grant Campbell and I organized the league’s defensemen into tiers based on projected fantasy value this season. Grant covers the Western Conference here at DobberHockey, and you can check out his tiers of defensemen in the West over here. Below, you’ll find my tiered ranking of defensemen in the East. There’s some subjectivity [...]
Training camp starts this week across the NHL and that means we finally start to get some actionable information. To this point, the only information we have besides projections – which are educated guesses themselves – are estimations of lineups and playing time. Things change throughout the preseason but even with split squads, we start [...]
The Dallas Stars have acquired prospect defenseman Nils Lundkvist from the New York Rangers in exchange for a first-round draft pick in 2023 and a fourth-round draft pick. Both picks are reportedly conditional, per Shayna Goldman, with the first rounder sliding to the next year if that pick is in the Top 10. The Rangers [...]
This week and next, Brennan Des and I will tier defense and forwards from the East and West. I will start with the West today but just a reminder that these tiers are subjective and meant as a guide to help you for fantasy purposes, not necessarily the level of skill of each defender. I’ve [...]
