Fantasy Guide is updated as of today. Salak signing with Farjestad is a good thing. He needs to play games. It's not on an NHL surface, but the competition in Sweden is solid enough to make it a positive learning experience. He will get very good coaching from Erik Granqvist as well (Gustavsson, Karlsson recent students). Overall, [...]
Interesting data on back-to-back games from our friends at On the Forecheck. Florida has the favorable schedule, playing 15 sets of back-to-back games, yet facing 24 opponents on the tail-end of their own back-to-back set. The Preds have signed Mark Dekanich to a one-year deal. It's a two-way agreement, meaning he is not [...]
The Bruins signed Tyler Seguin to a three-year ELC for as much money in base and bonuses as they possibly could. Those contracts should just be standard for a Top 3 pick, save them negotiating time. Anyway - Seguin will be on the team this year and as the season approaches the overly cautious [...]
The Curse of Dobber's Lowdown? First James Wisniewski, and now Tim Kennedy - both profiled in the Fantasy Guide. Both moving onto new cities. Twenty-eight to go! Buffalo has completed Tim Kennedy's buyout, according to James Mirtle. There should be no shortage of cheap suitors for a young, proven NHLer with upside and [...]
The Sabres have waived Tim Kennedy. They were unable to walk away from his arbitration award because it was so low (there is a minimum you are allowed to walk away from and it is tied to the average salary). So instead, they waive him. If they buy him out, instead of half of [...]
The 2010-11 Fantasy Hockey Guide is UP. Draft List is up now. Angus will be on Team 1040 at 12:30...which is now. So head over there and listen! Today is the day. The fifth annual DobberHockey Fantasy Hockey Guide will be out sometime this afternoon between one and three o'clock. The first [...]
The Ducks have signed Cam Fowler to an entry-level contract. I have him in the guide as...well, you'll just have to see ;) Craig Custance is reporting that Phoenix is in talks with Lee Stempniak. I fully expect him to sign there, thus hurting either Tikhonov or MacLean as far as making the [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Los Angeles Kings have agreed to a deal with Alexei Ponikarovsky per TSN. The contract is for one year.
Fantasy Impact: The New York Rangers have signed left winger Alexander Frolov to a one-year deal worth $3 million.
Ponikarovsky's contract was for $3.2 million. The Fantasy Guide is going through a nice formatting change. I'm pretty happy with the new look. I'm afraid that within two days I'm going to have to insist that the NHL settle the Kovalchuk matter. By then I will absolutely need to get started on [...]
