A week from today free agency begins. Although a lot of attention will – rightfully – be placed on the great crop of RFAs, this poll is about UFAs. What you’re voting on is which five of these 20 UFAs will be the biggest fantasy busts over the course of the contracts they’re about to [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
It seems like a whole lot longer ago than mid-January that I made these Forecasts. Sure enough, the 2020-21 regular season has come and gone and now it’s time not just to see how I fared in making these predictions (spoiler alert) but also to determine the various lessons that can be learned from the [...]
Welcome back to another edition of the Roos Lets Loose monthly mailbag, where I answer your fantasy hockey questions by giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed. As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
Avid readers of my column know the area where I’m least knowledgeable is prospects, as in my main league you can only own players who are signed to NHL contracts and we can only keep players up to three years. I realize that prospects are important in many leagues; given that, and in honor of [...]

Right up front I’ll say if this poll sounds familiar, it’s because I’ve run it in the past at least once. But it’s fun and useful, and truthfully lends itself to being done every season. Many poolies don’t pause to consider the reality of there always being a number of skaters who will never again [...]
