One of my favorite tools here on Dobber Hockey is the list of cold and hot players.  Last week, we focused on the top 10 cold players. This week, we're going to focus on those Hot Players that may have won us a couple of weeks recently.  Now, you don't need to be a fantasy expert to [...]

Top 10 Cold Players

No matter how much you plan, who you draft, or who you trade for, at some point in the season, your players will go through cold streaks.  If it's a streaming player that you only picked up during a hot streak, you drop them as soon as they have two or three pointless games. For [...]

Top 10 Players with Great Opportunity

It's no secret that netminders can make or break your fantasy season. Last year, for example, using later-round picks on Linus Ullmark, Jeremy Swayman and Vitek Vanecek probably won plenty of championships. Meanwhile, using high selections on Jacob Markstrom, Jack Campbell and Sergei Bobrovsky probably sunk a lot of championship hopes. Of course, league size, [...]

One of the strategies many fantasy general managers implement at the start of the season is to choose a cut-off date before deciding when to drop underperforming players.  Some GMs choose 10 games, others like to wait until the 20-game mark before giving up on a player. Note that we're not talking about those couple [...]
