Some professional tryouts were added to the list on Thursday. Calen Addison and Nikolay Kulemin have both agreed to PTOs with Ottawa, while Michael Hutchinson and Jakub Zboril will be headed to New Jersey’s camp on PTOs. Addison is an interesting one that a few fantasy leaguers will be watching. Just two short seasons ago, [...]
For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has 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 the realm of [...]
Seth Jarvis is the latest restricted free agent to sign on the dotted line, agreeing to an eight-year, $63.2 million contract with the Hurricanes. PuckPedia shows a cap hit of $7.5 million per season, which is the fourth-highest on the Canes after Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov, and Dmitry Orlov. Their core of Aho, Svechnikov, Jarvis, [...]
The hockey world was in mourning on Friday with the sudden and tragic passing of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau. The two were cycling in New Jersey on Thursday evening when they were struck by an impaired driver. This is devastating news on so many levels. https://twitter.com/BlueJacketsNHL/status/1829481858968535120 Johnny Gaudreau was 31 years old, [...]
When I returned on Wednesday afternoon from my trip to Oregon, I hadn’t started at all on three consecutive days’ worth of Ramblings, with the first one due in just over 24 hours. A mock draft seems like something that could get the ball rolling after pushing aside fantasy hockey for a few days of [...]
Although it’s too early for single-season drafts (at least in my opinion), many keeper leagues have started their entry drafts for 2024-drafted players. I had one league complete one recently, so I’ll share the results. It’s only a 12-player draft because it is a 12-team league with a one-round draft, so it may be smaller [...]
Summer is usually a dead time in the hockey world after early July. However, we’ve had a mini-bump in player news over the past week or so. Included have been offer sheets for two players, teams granting multiple player trade requests, an injury affecting a Vezina Trophy finalist, and more. Perhaps more news will trickle [...]

According to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar has said that Gabriel Landeskog could return near the start of the season, although he appears to be unlikely to be ready for opening night. That does kind of seem like good news, although Landeskog's absence may now extend to a third season. He has [...]
Continuing with Bubble Keeper Week, I’m going to turn toward some players that have recently experienced changes of value in salary cap leagues due to new contracts. Salary increases can create tough decisions in terms of who to keep, yet they may be earned due to a player getting better. Salary decreases can justify a [...]
