On Tuesday the first part of the new series was released, because I mistimed the trade deadline you’ll get a mid-week special as we’ll take a look at the second instalment of players who could find themselves on a new team come Feb. 27^th. TSN has pretty good coverage of the Western Conference teams, but it probably lacks a bit of fantasy analysis, so I’ll borrow some of their thoughts, but add that extra dimension to gives you Dobberites a clearer picture.

Last week we discussed the art of fantasy trading. This week we’ll take a look at the first instalment of players who could find themselves on a new team come Feb. 27. TSN has pretty good coverage of the Western Conference teams, but it probably lacks a bit of fantasy analysis, so I’ll borrow some of their thoughts, but add that extra dimension to gives you a clearer picture.

The Anatomy of Trading - A couple of years ago I read a life-changing book penned by Steven R. Covey titled “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” One habit that he focuses on is to always think win-win. With the default fantasy trade deadline (March 8^th on Yahoo!), creeping up fairly soon, I thought it would be a great idea to see if I can apply some of his thoughts into the realm of fantasy hockey trading.

If ice-time and SOG are any indicators of fantasy success, this week’s column will be a good complement in identifying a few trends moving forward. We’ll examine several advancers and decliners, out West to help you get through that mid-season lull. (Part 1 here)

One of the major keys in helping you win a fantasy pool is to make note of current trends. This week we’ll take a look at the 15 Western Conference teams to see if we can identify some.

Based on last week’s articles, if ice-time and SOG are any indicators of fantasy success, this week’s column will be a good complement in identifying a few trends moving forward. We’ll take a look at several advancers, as well as decliners out West to help you get through that mid-season lull.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “the numbers don’t lie”. If you’re a dedicated follower of my columns here at DobberHockey, then you’re probably well aware of how much I utilize stats to inform me during my decision-making process. For the past couple of seasons, I’ve been tracking baseline values into forecasting future stats. This week we’ll take a look at those values to help us better plan for the rest of this fantasy season.

Part I talks about 10 of my fantasy hockey "laws."

Now, onto the real mathematical stuff! Keep in mind these are general average numbers and there may be certain exceptions to each scenario.

Pending release of the MidSeason Guide later this week, I thought it would be a great idea to take a look back at thePre-Season guide and see where I stand in comparison to four months ago. It’s always good to take a look back atpast mistakes to help us prepare for the future. Plus it will give an insight to those who haven’t seen the content of theDobberHockey guides first hand.

We’ve all heard of the phrase “the numbers don’t lie”, but there is always room for statistical anomalies that make each and every one of us scratch our heads. This week we’ll take a look at a few statistical anomalies that have occurred so far this season and whether the numbers will re-align or are they set for the long run.
