Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on very active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant threads from the past month, reminding everyone how great of a resource the Forums are. Pretty much anything might be covered, other than trades and signings, which usually will get their own separate [...]
As more and more of the season unfolds there can be a tendency to look at a skater’s total points and think that tells the full story about him, when in truth it can be a poor reflection of what he stands to do going forward. To address that, I dig deep to figure out [...]
As crazy as it sounds, by the time you read this there are now less than two months left in the 2019-20 regular season. With that being the case, even if these questions didn’t come from you they're likely to be relevant to your players or those of your chief rivals. In other words, [...]
Pop quiz – other than Alex Ovechkin, how many players have scored 50+ goals in a regular-season since 2010-11?

That’s where this column comes in. For first time readers or those needing a refresher, the column is a play [...]
After a delay due to the must-read Fantasy Top Ten of the Decade lists that were published the past two weeks, Roos Lets Loose is back, this week with another Mailbag. And although the number of questions I received paled in comparison to letters written to Santa, unlike with Kris Kringle there are no [...]
It’s time for nice (and even naughty!) readers to unwrap another present from under the DobberHockey Christmas tree - a list of the top ten fantasy defensemen from this decade (factoring in games through December 22nd). And although reliving the past is great fun, winning your current league is also of the utmost importance, [...]
In fantasy, there’s nothing quite like obtaining a skater cheaply - via draft or trade - and then watching him break out. By the same token, paying a high price for a skater who then proceeds to play poorly can mean the difference between winning or losing your league. But lurking out there is [...]
