As with the faceoff article posted a few weeks ago, I like to occasionally check in on stats, and therefore players, that are a bit more on the peripheral (see what I did there?) Categories like hits and blocks are not as exciting as points and shots, so they definitely don’t get as much air [...]
The 20th annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer/fall. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of fantasy hockey both for the season ahead as well as the foreseeable future. Offensively, will the team perform? Are there plenty of [...]
Anyone relying on Jake Oettinger this season no longer needs to worry about his contract status. The Stars signed Oettinger to a three-year extension worth $4 million per season. This amount certainly seems affordable given the upside that Oettinger showed in last season’s playoffs (7 GP, 1.81 GAA, .954 SV%, 7 QS). The Stars still [...]

It’s time again for a poll I run every year immediately after the release of the DobberHockey Fantasy Guide. At risk of stating the obvious, the Guide remains the single most indispensible fantasy hockey resource there is, and it can be ordered here. One of the countless pieces of information in the Fantasy Guide is [...]
After covering for Ian this weekend this is going to be the fourth time in eight days that I’m rambling. Not sure how Ian and Cliffy do multiple days every week. It’s especially tough in the middle of August. Luckily though we have had a bit of news the last couple days though, most recent [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss a few players with a wide range of plausible fantasy outlooks this year. In other words, there’s some uncertainty surrounding their situations, which makes their fantasy outlook tough to predict.
