Last season, we were blessed with the loftiest point totals in the last decade. Three players cusped the triple-digit barrier, six more broke 90. All in, 21 skaters played at or above an 80-point final tally. You’d have to go all the way back to the 2006-07 campaign to find a season that produced [...]
The big news of the day was Dylan Larkin inking a five-year contract extension worth 6.1 million per season. That's a nice chunk of change coming to the 22-year-old. Larkin epitomized the dreaded sophomore slump in 2016-17. After taking the NHL by storm in the first half of his rookie campaign, things turned [...]
The Buffalo Sabres traded Cliff Pu, a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, a third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft and a sixth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Jeff Skinner. The Sabres get: A proven top-six forward in the midst of his prime age [...]

Don’t forget, next week will be Bubble Keeper Week on DobberHockey. A whole week dedicated to players who are fighting for a continued spot on your rosters as we gear up for draft season. I’m so excited that I’ll even talk about a bubbler this week too! ** A few [...]
Let’s ease into this a bit. What the hell is Marc Bergevin doing? The Habs’ GM has basically announced to the world that Max Pacioretty won’t be offered an extension and will be traded. This reeks of a whole, “You can’t quit, because you’re fired!” scenario. {source}<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" [...]
Usually, by July 6th, the dust has settled on free agency. Most players are already back in the weight room. The insiders, General Managers, scouts and basically everyone else are off to the cottages. It’s officially the quiet time around the NHL. Except that it isn’t. The Erik Karlsson [...]
The culmination of a year’s worth of scouting has come to fruition. As a prospect-junkie and self-proclaimed assessor of talent, this has been a particularly satisfying experience.

Fantasy Impact: In a one-for-one deal, the Montreal Canadiens sent Alex Galchenyuk to the Arizona Coyotes for Max Domi. The Coyotes get: A goal-scoring forward who was drafted as a centre but has struggled to thrive in that position at the NHL-level. Galchenyuk is two years removed from a 30-goal, 56-point campaign.
