Before J.T. Miller re-signed with the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night for seven years at $8 million AAV beginning next season when he will be 30 years old. I was going to write an article about what I considered the 15 worst current contracts in the West. With all the discussion in Vancouver and around [...]
One of the things I've often been curious about is in regards to how long fantasy general managers will continue drafting a player believing this will be that player's bounce-back year. I am guilty of this. In my points-only keeper league, I drafted Ryan Kesler three years in a row, always in the last round [...]

The 20th annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of [...]
Yesterday I listed a few players that I think are being drafted too high based on the fact that they are more likely to be autopicked (at least when I autopicked in a few mock drafts). Listing players to move down your rankings also begs the question of which players you could probably reach a [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. In a recent Goldilocks and the Three Skaters article, Rick Roos outlined a series of very realistic concerns about Anton Lundell’s ability to replicate his 56-point pace rookie campaign moving forward.
