This week, we’ll go through each team in the Western Conference to see which players provide the most fantasy value for their contract and which players provide the least. Part two will be next week. I’ve come up with a dollar value for each forward and defender, using (1) my player game ratings, (2) the [...]
With the fantasy trade deadline looming, it's crucial that you look at more than just overall season statistics to ensure you have a full picture of the player you are acquiring. One quick way is to look at Dobber's Hot and Cold Players lists. This will let you know that Brandon Hagel has 20 points in [...]
Nikita Kucherov became the first player to break the 100-point mark this year, a title held by Connor McDavid for the past three seasons. Kucherov registered a point on all four of Tampa’s goals, bringing him to 102 points through 59 games. One of the things fuelling Kucherov’s career season is an increased willingness to [...]
Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! With fantasy hockey trade deadlines upon us, I am going to bring up some undervalued players one last time.

They have been the top two AHL scorers for a while now, nearly [...]
As we inch anticipatingly closer to the NHL’s March 8 trade deadline, hockey fans and NHL bettors can expect the next two-to-three weeks of action to have a frenetic pace - both on and off the ice. Teams usually utilize the trade deadline leadup to get deals done ahead of the cutoff, avoiding the pitfalls [...]
Tonight’s matchups What a wonderful collection of games to occur at 7 or 8 PM! Dallas at Carolina, Boston at Vancouver, and Toronto at Colorado. It will be hard to choose one, and I suspect many of us will be flipping channels. Of these, my recommendation will be to pass on the Stars/Canes contest. Dallas [...]
The minor trade on Thursday involving Emil Bemstrom and Alex Nylander should barely generate a ripple in most fantasy leagues. Yet since I was discussing it with at least a couple people in private conversations, I’ll share my thoughts here.
