Today we are going to look at the first eight teams in the West and determine which roster spots, if any, actually have openings for competition. Each year, we get excited at the idea of a young prospect having an outstanding training camp and making the NHL roster as an 18- to 20-year-old rookie. Unfortunately, [...]
We should look at each team in the Western Conference and see what players have been, or could be, an injury risk in 2024-25. This is such a contact sport that any player can be injured at any time, but these players seem to have either bad luck or a style that leads to more [...]

For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy hockey standpoint and graded them.

Over the last few seasons, during bubble week I have focused on the format I know and that is a 25-team salary cap ($88.0 million) keeper pool with 27 players on each roster (20 active and seven in reserve, but all salaries count). As it is the off-season, we allow each team to carry 28 [...]

This week we will look at some regression candidates from the Western Conference. We will focus on shooting percentage, PDO, 5on5 shooting percentage and secondary assist percentage to see where the players below were outside the norm in 2023-24.
