DobberHockey continues our division-by-division analysis of every team's pipeline in Part II. This time, it's a visit to the Southeast Division, home to some of the league's best one-line teams. But do Ilya Kovalchuk or Vincent Lecavalier and Steve Stamkos have any help on the way?
Rankings are up and on the front page. Defense rankings are also done (not on front page) - for the second month in a row we have a new leader: Brian Rafalski finally takes a turn as the most coveted defenseman in points-only keeper leagues that count playoffs. Smack1919 answered the trivia question. Nine players who [...]
The Preds have acquired Hugh Jessiman from the Rangers for futures, and Tim Ramholt from the Flyers for Josh Gratton. not of fantasy significance. Huge Specimen is pointless in six AHL contests, so this clean slate will be nice for him - perhaps he could turn his career back around. I'll keep an eye on [...]
With tomorrow being All Hallows Eve, I thought it appropriate to do some fantasy hockey trick or treating. Remember when you were a kid, coming home with a pillowcase full of candy? Then your parents would go through it all, throwing out all the unwrapped and suspicious looking candy? Well that’s what I aim to do here; separate the fantasy eye candy from players that could potentially make your fantasy team sick.
For your listening pleasure - put it on your Ipod or just listen in on your computer. Let's talk some fantasy hockey! Dobber Nation has undergone a bit of a facelift and brought a new host on board - Andrew Walker. This week, hear from CityTV's (Edmonton) Ryan Jespersen, prospect Evander Kane and Dobber. You [...]
Further to my CBJ line combo note below, it looks like Umberger will be the one moved to the wing, while Brassard remains center. That would make more sense, because Umby was there on the wing in Philly. The Isles have sent Jack Hillen down to the AHL. He remains a solid D prospect, but could [...]
An interesting piece in the Tennessean comparing Radulov's situation with Semin's from a couple of years ago... My power number article in the Vancouver Sun, although the online version doesn't make it look very nice... Rick Rypien will be out indefinitely with a sports hernia - he will undergo surgery. Some Blues news: Chris Mason (appendectomy) is [...]
Ovechkin has gone back to Russia to tend to his ailing grandfather. He will miss tomorrow's game. The Caps play just twice this week so if you want to risk benching him for both games, that might be wise. Tom Poti is targetting a return to the lineup of this weekend. He has been out with [...]
Andrei Kostitsyn will reportedly return to the lineup on Tuesday from his concussion. Pascal Leclaire left last night's contest with an undisclosed injury. With two more points last night, Ryan Kesler now has nine points in eight games. This is his fifth NHL season, and it is looking like a breakout one for him. That being said, [...]
Brett Sterling finally got into the Atlanta lineup and wouldn't you know it - he scored a goal. Imagine that, an offensive player helping a team that needs offense by scoring a goal. Who would have thought it possible? Hopefully Anderson leaves him in the lineup and gives him opportunity. He played 11 minutes last [...]
