It is wheels up for the NHL season! How about the Auston Matthews toe-drag snipe in the first game of the season? Kyle Palmieri proved quite quickly why he was bound to produce value on his ADP – throttling the hapless Oilers for two goals in the first game of the season. Where was [...]
Tonight is the last night for all of the drafts you prepared for – if you’ve been waiting to purchase the Dobber Fantasy guide just go download it now and make sure you’re all set for tonight. Even if you have already drafted, there will be great info on who to target for [...]
Based on the feedback from the readers the RW rank article last week was something everyone appreciated. Excuse some of the redundancies in this article, but I think it is useful for people to understand the strategy that was used to generate the rankings below. The data below represents 56 players being drafted and [...]
Please excuse a short break from the summer series previews, it’s getting too close to the NHL season to ignore draft strategy. This summer I had fun learning about other fantasy sports and learned of a great tool for organizing thoughts. I work in a fast-paced environment where I may need a picture or [...]
Only a few more weeks before draft season really picks up so make sure you’re prepped by picking up your copy of the Dobber Fantasy Guide. There are a few more teams from the Metro to get through and as we see some stability in ADPs it’ll be time to start taking a deeper [...]

Like for the Wild West series, the ranks are based on a 12-team, head-to-head league, using the categories of goals, assists, power play points, shots, hits, and blocks for forwards/defensemen and wins, saves, save percentage and goals [...]
The goal of covering the Atlantic division before September has been accomplished. Unfortunately all of the digital ink that I am about to spew on the Ottawa Senators can promptly be thrown out the window once/if Erik Karlsson is traded. I had hoped that by avoiding the Senators up until this point that something [...]
As a hockey fan you have to be pretty excited about the consolidation of power underway in Toronto. Adding John Tavares to a top line superstar in Auston Matthews has Toronto in a position to have the second-best center combination in the league; still not touching Malkin and Sid. Sorry I won’t debate it [...]
The interweb is filled with draft prep advice, some of the best advice I’ve ever read fell in this article by Steve Laidlaw. I’ve tried drafting goalie / goalie to start and have placed well in 14 team leagues, I’ve tried the early D approach through the first four rounds, and I’ve loaded up [...]
