Ramblings: Hockey is Coming, Guentzel and the Pens, WJC, Myers, Boldy & Gusev (Dec. 9)

By |2020-12-08T21:02:06-05:00December 8th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

We will have NHL hockey in 2021!* *probably.  Reports from all over the insider’s web indicate that the NHL and the Union have agreed not to fiddle with the financial aspect of the return to play. This was always going to be the major potential roadblock. Players, unsurprisingly, want what they negotiated in the CBA. [...]

Ramblings: Rankings The Top Fantasy Trade Assets, Wallstedt, Höglander, & Jokke Heads to the Show (Dec. 2)

By |2020-12-02T00:22:07-05:00December 1st, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

“Anything cool happening in the hockey world that would inspire me to write today?”  “The NHL is almost assuredly not starting in one month.”  “Okay, that’s depressing. Anything else?” “...no.” “Well, alrighty then.” I’m sorry you all had to suffer through that. But it’s part of the process as we enter month #3798 of the [...]

The Panthers made history on Tuesday when they announced the hiring of Brett Peterson as the club's Assistant GM. Peterson becomes the first black AGM in NHL history. https://twitter.com/ColorOfHockey/status/1328783184620904448?s=20 Normally, Florida is low-hanging fruit for ridicule, but between this and Kim Ng being named the Marlins GM recently, it's nothing but good vibes from me.

Welcome back to the much anticipated Bubble Week here at DobberHockey. The McDavids, Makars, and MacKinnons of the world see enough inked spilled in their names to impressive an octopus. This week is all about isolating players who are on the cusp of your keeper list. They’re the old dogs looking for one more productive [...]

Ramblings: Mantha Signs, Podkolzin’s Deployment, Klingberg, & Strome (Nov. 4)

By |2020-11-03T20:06:15-05:00November 3rd, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

The Red Wings locked down a cornerstone on Tuesday, inking Anthony Mantha to a four-year deal worth 5.7M per.  https://twitter.com/DetroitRedWings/status/1323663778886668290?s=20 This is a tremendous deal for Detroit in the now. First, it does not contain an NTC or NMC. It also comes nearly a million per year below the expected four-year cap hit as projected [...]

Ramblings: Wallstedt and the Rise of Young Goaltenders, Seider is Coming, Toews, Bertuzzi, & Ho-Sang (Oct. 28)

By |2020-10-28T00:53:23-04:00October 28th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

We had a few signings take place on Tuesday. First up was Josh Ho-Sang settling with a two-way contract worth $750K in the bigs and $250K in the minors. It was a tumultuous 2019-20 season for the 24-year-old - more so than the rest of us. After failing to make the Isles out of camp, [...]

By |2020-10-21T00:30:27-04:00October 20th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

The Canucks signed a couple of bottom-six players on Monday. They inked 24-year-old, UFA, Jayce Hawryluk to a one-year contract for $750K and then re-signed Adam Gaudette to a one-year deal worth $950K. Here’s the thing, one or even both of them could see time in Vancouver’s top six. Gaudette is the most obvious one. [...]

Ramblings: Draft Day! (Oct 7)

By |2020-10-07T00:26:48-04:00October 7th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

It finally arrived. We always knew it would, at some point, but for the 31 prospects selected on Tuesday night, it was a long journey than any before them. The first round of the NHL Entry Draft wrapped up with many a storyline. Let’s dive in. Warning, there will be clips.    ** Before the [...]

Ramblings: A New Era Begins on Broadway, Trade Rumours, and Players Heading Overseas (Sept. 30)

By |2020-09-29T22:45:59-04:00September 29th, 2020|Hockey Rambling|

We are now in full-on offseason Rambling mode. I’m not going to lie, this hurts me. Normally, we have to slug our way through this seek and destroy situation for about four months. We already did it from March to July and now we’re looking at four more months of offseason rambling before the puck [...]
