New rankings are updated below, and there are some fun movers due to new contracts, early season results, and a few other minor edits. The Injury to Aaron Ekblad has bumped up both Brandon Montour and Gustav Forsling, and even with Ekblad’s return, both should be able to hold onto fantasy relevance, though maybe not [...]
As fans and writers, we sometimes like to pick arbitrary times as opportunities to look back or to group sets of games. For instance, the All-Star break is often used as a halfway point and a comparison for first half/second half splits when it is not in fact the halfway point of the season. Given [...]
There is a lot of data to sift through in the fantasy hockey realm. Just perusing our Frozen Tools alone can have someone lost for hours, creating their own reports and parameters to see who is performing well, who isn’t, signs of regression, changes in usage, or a whole slew of other reasons. One data [...]
One thing that had plagued the Carolina Hurricanes for years was a lack of steady goaltending. That has changed in recent seasons with the additions of Antti Raanta and Frederik Andersen. Both of those guys are free agents after the 2022-23 season, though, so the team needs to look to the future. They did that [...]
Toronto and Arizona have swapped depth skaters to fill some organizational needs. https://twitter.com/CraigSMorgan/status/1595492392106590208 What the Coyotes Get: Size and depth for their AHL team, and a possible future depth forward, for a defenceman that they were going to lose on waivers anyways. Curtis Douglas is not a player that needs to be on the fantasy [...]

What the Wild Get: A fourth-liner who can hit plenty and [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on [...]
Back in the first week of September, I put out some outrageous too-early predictions for the NHL season, team results. I had five new teams making the top-16, and thus into the playoffs come April, these being (alphabetically) Detroit, New York Islanders, Vancouver, Vegas, and Winnipeg. Ok it’s now the eve of USA Thanksgiving, and [...]
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 [...]
I’ll be posting the updated salary cap keeper rankings on the 25th (skaters) and 26th (goalies), so keep an eye out for those. Even with Moritz Seider’s slow start, he’s still holding off Trevor Zegras for the top spot in the rankings this month. The value you’re getting for an offensive Dman with his upside [...]
