This week we are going to go through each team in the Western Conference and see which player on each roster has the most value per their contract and which player has the least. Some of the factors I've taken into account are the salary cap hit, length of contract (good or bad), age, current [...]
With the All-Star break just concluded, we will look at some players with notable production (both good and bad) from the start of this calendar year up until the break. We will look at ice time, faceoffs, hits, blocked shots, power-play time and any other interesting takeaways. Anaheim Trevor Zegras is starting to catch fire, [...]
We last looked at points per 60 minutes in a mid-November article, so this week we’re going to look at where players are at now on a team-by-team basis. I've tried to include some numbers from the 2021-22 season as well for comparative purposes. Johnny Gaudreau led the NHL last season with 4.5/60 followed by [...]

I have a daily routine where I run the Report Generator 3.0 on Dobber’s Frozen Tools and download it into an Excel spreadsheet for both the nightly games and the season to date (It is only available via Patreon but well worth the $5/month). Once I download the files, I sort the spreadsheet, run my [...]
I wanted to look back at the rookies I had profiled at the beginning of the season. Upon reflection, two of my players haven’t played a game in the NHL this year and five others have been up and down from the minors. Here were my picks from my early October article. I started off [...]
At around this time of the NHL season, players and teams have played around 80 games in the calendar year of 2022. I’ve looked at the statistics for players for that period using Dobber’s Frozen Tools and came away with some interesting takeaways below. Points Connor McDavid leads the NHL and the West with 133 [...]
After 25 to 30 games for each team, new additions to rosters should have acclimated to their new surroundings by now. We will check in with each team in the Western Conference and see how notable additions are doing to date and grade each team. This doesn’t include rookies on each roster. Anaheim Ducks The [...]
