Before we get going, I'd like to apologize for the technical difficulties last week. The platform here at Dobber is a little different than what I'm used to, so I ended up publishing multiple rough drafts when in fact I meant to be saving them. Here's hoping things go a bit more smoothly this time [...]

Jonathan Briggins profiles a top prospect for the 2013 draft.


Playing in a town in northern Quebec generally means a player doesn’t get the media attention they would playing in a bigger junior city such as Halifax, London, or Portland.

 

Russian draft prospect Valentin Zykov plays for the Baie-Comeau Drakkar in a town of close to 29, 000 people located six hours north of Quebec City. Picking up the Michel Bergeron Trophy for Offensive Rookie of the Year in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is one way to grab some attention, though.

Jesse Blacker

 

Andrew Schopp profiles two young defensemen with lots of upside.


Two 21-year-old defensive prospects from the 2009 NHL Draft got the call up to The Show this week for Colorado and Toronto. One, Tyson Barrie, saw more time in the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche after an unexpected demotion to the minors. The other, Jesse Blacker, has yet to make his NHL debut after being briefly called-up to the Toronto Maple Leafs from the Marlies earlier this week. Although at different stages of their development, both are solid defensemen with the ability to contribute offensively and have great fantasy upside as top four defensemen.

  *   Cam Atkinson had three points and nine shots on goal for the Jackets. He won’t be 100% until next season (high ankle sprains take forever to heal), but he has looked better in recent games.   Matt Calvert had two points and four shots on goal – one of my favorite young [...]
