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 [...]
With Paul Stastny signing yesterday, Michael Clifford wrote about both his outlook and that of a few of the remaining UFAs. It got me thinking about whose value in fantasy we may see shift over the course of the rest of the offseason. Be it trades, signings, possible lineup matches, or injury news both positive [...]
The Carolina Hurricanes have continued their offseason shopping by adding another centre to their forward mix. Vincent Trocheck left the organization and that left them with Jordan Staal and Jesperi Kotkaniemi as their middle-6 pivots. It could work but they clearly felt they needed some insurance.

To get started, be sure to check out all our Ramblings from the [...]
For the last 19 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. 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 [...]
As it is the dog days of summer, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to rank the Western Teams from 16th to 1st and see what teams are locked to make the playoffs, on the bubble or not even close. Comments below are to be taken with a bit of caution as rosters [...]
Yahoo has recently opened up its fantasy hockey, and with it, its mock draft rooms. Mock drafts are an important tool in understanding how your fellow general managers feel about certain players. It allows you to prepare different draft strategies in preparation for your fantasy draft. For instance, maybe you want to try the zero-goalie [...]

Pick up the Fantasy Guide here and immediately download both the PDF and the spreadsheet. This week I plan to put in the team goals-for projections/rankings now that Nazem Kadri has signed. * [...]
