Brian Burke has his detractors, no doubt. But when you consider Tomáš Kaberle had the Toronto Maple Leafs’ over the proverbial barrel, a hotshot prospect like Joe Colborne and a first round draft pick is a pretty decent return. Especially, if Colborne, and his six-foot-five frame, dominates at the NHL level in a few seasons, the way many believe he can.
Trying to pick six certain winners isn’t as easy as it looks. Quite a few third period letdowns led to only one correct prediction two Saturdays ago. Caribou didn’t hit .500 so she’s getting sent down as Thunder has been clawing to get back into the action. Only nine games on the schedule this Saturday as a warm up to Hockey Day in the US and the Heritage Classic out at McMahon Stadium on Sunday. Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend.

With the recent flurry of trades in the NHL, many have offered their opinions and insight, flooding the market with a substantial amount of surface level detail. Prior to Kris Versteeg's recent trade to Philadelphia, I've always been a skeptic. This trade forced me to take a closer look though and determine some realistic expectations.
Jonas Hiller is feeling lightheadedness again (can we call it a concussion soon?) and will miss the next three games for Anaheim. Methinks they are in the market for a goalie... I'm back baby! I really got my ass kicked yesterday thanks to week-old leftover pork that wasn't cooked enough (clearly). Now it's [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Ottawa Senators have traded pivot Chris Kelly to the Boston Bruins for a second-round pick in this summer's draft.
Time to sell high on Luongo in a one-year league? Perhaps. The Canucks are down four defensemen and there is no timetable for the return of Dan Hamhuis. We have some exciting news - a few DobberHockey vets have taken on the task of putting together their Top 100 Roto Players list. Click [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Toronto Maples Leafs have traded forward Kris Versteeg to the Philadelphia Flyers for a first and a third-round draft pick, both in 2011.
