As a continuation to my last Ramblings I was looking ahead to the upcoming season with new opportunities, different line combinations and increased roles on the horizon with plenty of players who could see their fantasy stock rise once the season gets underway. These aren’t necessarily the obvious names, but rather the players who could [...]

Get yours at the Dobber Sports store. - Although the summer months tend to be pretty quiet when it comes to actual hockey news, the speculation around players and where they could potentially fit into their new lineups can be both fun [...]
Now that we’re into the dog days of summer, things can get pretty quiet and there isn’t a whole lot of fantasy news to focus on, especially with most of the top free agents already signed. So, I figured it was a good time to go down the rabbit hole and take a look at [...]

Signed to a five-year deal at $7 million annually, he should step into a top-six role and see time alongside either Macklin Celebrini or Michael Misa. His game is a strong fit for what San Jose is building [...]
The last few days leading up to and during the NHL Draft were packed with trades and roster moves. With NHL free agency set to open in a couple of days, it feels like a lot of the heavy lifting has been done, although there are still a few notable names who could be on [...]
