Western Conference teams currently have 20 of the 32 picks in the 1st round of the 2023 Entry Draft. St. Louis has three picks, while Chicago, San Jose, Arizona and Nashville have two. Dobber released the 2023 Fantasy Prospect Report last week and you can find out a lot more there. We will focus on [...]
Teams will need to make some pretty large decisions on some of these players as they all will be entering the 2023-2024 in the final year under contract with their current teams. As we saw with players like Patrick Kane anything can happen and no-movement clauses can be waived. Anze Kopitar - Los Angeles - [...]
With this week’s article I’m going to look at the teams in the West and focus on potential players from each roster who have the potential to crack 30 goals in a season for the first time in their career. We are going to look closely at shots on goal using the Dobber’s Frozen Tools [...]
This week we’re going to look at the top restricted free agents from the Western Conference. Some of these players might be dealt to other teams, as their salary expectations exceed the capacity of the teams they are currently on. Other players might not be qualified by their current teams while some players below might [...]
This week we’re going to look at the top unrestricted free agents from the Western Conference. I’m going to include some intriguing free agents as well who might be of value in some banger pools. The West doesn’t have the strongest class of free agents, but there are some potential adds here. J.T. Compher - [...]
In this week's The Wild West, we'll look at the heroes and zeroes from each team in round one. Brennan Des had a look at the Eastern Conference last week so we’re going to look at the West this week. Enjoy the rest of the second round! Colorado Avalanche Hero: Mikko Rantanen I’m not sure [...]
This week we’re going to look at each team in the Western Conference and name an MVP and an MDP (most disappointing player). I’m going to exclude players who were out with an injury for more than three-quarters of the season, but focus more on players who just didn’t perform up to expectations. Anaheim Ducks [...]
At the beginning of the season I chose my top-10 rookies in the Western Conference in an article here. I always like to review my pre-season lists and see how I did. There were a few misses and a few hits, which we will look at below but the Western Conference represented well this season [...]
With some prospects being signed out of college or junior leagues and getting some games down the stretch, I thought we could look at some players from each roster who could make the jump to the NHL next season. In addition, I’ve included some players who have seen an increased role as the season nears [...]
Last season around this time I ranked team defenses in the West based on my player game ratings. I created a google sheet, where I entered all of the player game ratings into a depth chart for each NHL team. I updated the sheet about once a month during the season, to account for trades, [...]
