I had a little too much time to look at the BUF/NJ games. I made an effort not to get caught up in small sample sizes, but it's inevitable to some degree at this point in the season. Regardless, there are a few points that I thought were with making. Dylan Cozens had eight shots [...]
Two more days until real games. We're almost there! Continuing from last week, I have some training camp notes on players that have caught my eye. As a Predators fan, I was really hoping to see a new second line of Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Tommy Novak. That line has been together quite a [...]
Not too many updates this month as we await the big contract from Jeremy Swayman that may reset the goaltending market. Thatcher Demko drops down the rankings with news of his injury affecting his projected numbers for the year. Some smaller adjustments made to others as well, but the consistency on the list should hopefully [...]
We’re back once again, now with Leon Draisaitl signed for eight more years at $14 million per. He has set the new bar that Connor McDavid and his extension will clear just next year. In the meantime, we’re still waiting on contracts for a handful of RFAs. The RFAs that worried me the most to [...]
With a three-year-old and infant twins at home I haven’t done nearly the research or the number of mock drafts that I would usually like to when approaching draft season, but regardless I have still zeroed in on a handful of my favourite selections after pick 150 or so. We’re using Yahoo’s ADP numbers because [...]
Let’s take a quick look at the list of PTOs, and note anyone who could have some fantasy relevance this upcoming season if signed. Tyson Barrie, CGY Barrie is the only one here who would be a presence on a team's top power play unit. He didn't fit at all in Nashville, but otherwise has [...]
What I’ve done in past years around this time is writing a quick note on each of the top 100 players by ADP, and it has generally received positive feedback. However, as I am now a dad of three girls, two of them newborns, I don’t have as much time to put together a Rambling [...]
For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber and the team have reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 22nd annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in [...]
Starting this Ramblings off with a birthday shout out to my dad who turned 65 a few days ago. I wanted to thank him for all the amazing support he’s given me that have helped me become who I am. We need to appreciate these people in our lives as much as we can, because [...]
