Kovalchuk to the Kings is inching closer. Emphasis on inching. It sounds like Modano will be a Red Wing this season. If Todd Bertuzzi can play for Calgary, anything is possible, but this will take some getting used to. Elliotte Friedman's final 30 Thoughts of the season is posted. Arguably the best [...]
I have found it difficult to make trades in my own fantasy hockey leagues since joining the DobberHockey crew full-time over two years ago. I share my thoughts on sleepers, overrated players, and my favourite players/prospects with all of you on a daily basis. When I propose a trade in any of my leagues, my potential trading partner is usually quick to check out the site to see what I have said in the past about the player(s) I am inquiring about.
However, I managed to pull the trigger on a very interesting deal yesterday in my favourite league. It is a head-to-head league with many DobberHockey veterans, and I finished fourth out of 12 last year (my first year in the league after taking over a pretty decent roster).
Today I analyzed a team sent to me by Robert, who is lucky enough to have Russ "The Comish" Miller in his league (unsurprisingly, Russ is the league commisioner). Robert's team won the league last year, but he is now faced with a few difficult keeper decisions.
I am constantly receiving e-mails, tweets, and messages on the DobberHockey forums asking for trade advice. It is always good to get a second (and third) opinion, as there are many biases that can cloud your ability to accurately evaluate a potential transaction.
Pavol Demitra has signed a one-year deal to play in the KHL next season. Jack Skille has a smart agent. He signed a one-year deal worth $600k today with Chicago. His qualifying offer was for over $1 million, but it would have been a two-way deal had he accepted it. Now he [...]
Audits will be coming in rapid succession over the next few weeks, so keep checking the site to see if your team gets covered! I am not accepting any more submissions at the moment, but check back as October approaches, I have a few ideas with regards to the audits that I will be sharing at that time.
Today I’ll take a look at the extremely talented young roster sent to me by DobberHockey reader Adam M.
I first mentioned the concept of the “it factor” way back in December of 2007. I saw something special in New Jersey winger Zach Parise, who was on his way to scoring 32 goals that season. His big offensive breakout came only one season later in 2008-09, when he led New Jersey with 45 goals and 94 points. Like Parise, Edmonton Oiler Jordan Eberle possesses the “it factor.”
Blades of Steel is an iconic video game classic. It is also the name of the league that the team I audited participates in. What is the course of action recommended for a team with fantastic depth at defense, stability in goal, and a few holes up front? Read on to find out!
I am going to be on the TEAM 1040 in Vancouver tomorrow morning (around 9:30am PST) with Iain McLetchie to talk fantasy hockey. Any players/teams/topics you want me to cover? Defensive prospect Ivan Vishnevskiy will have a great shot at cracking Chicago's roster this fall, especially if Hjalmarsson's offer sheet isn't matched. Chicago [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed free agent right winger Nikolai Zherdev to a one-year contract, believed to be worth between $2 and $3 million.
