As we have seen in recent weeks with players like Zeev Buium, Fraser Minten, and Braeden Bowman, teams are trying to get ahead of their RFAs by signing them to long-term extensions a bit early (also because of the new 7-year limit which kicks in this week), which is what the Buffalo Sabres did with [...]
The Los Angeles Kings announced that winger Kevin Fiala underwent another surgery related to the initial surgery for the broken femur he suffered back in February at the Olympics. He is going to start the beginning of training camp, but there is no word on the recent procedure or when he’ll return. For fantasy purposes, [...]
It was reported by Elliotte Friedman that the Anaheim Ducks and winger Chris Kreider have reached an agreement for him to be put on waivers and have his contract terminated. In effect, this would make Kreider a free agent and hopefully give the Ducks the cap space necessary to sign Cutter Gauthier. We will have [...]
In a pair of Ramblings last week, the review of my personal fantasy hockey projections began. We started with forwards before moving onto defencemen. Today, we’ll be going back to our forwards but looking for deeper values using ADP data from Fantrax. My projections are made using ‘replacement level’ value, which is determined to be [...]
For the last 23 years (13 with The Hockey News) DobberHockey has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 24th annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of [...]
In a pair of Ramblings this week, I started reviewing my fantasy hockey projections for the 2026-27 season. On Tuesday, we covered how first-round picks are valued, and how to evaluate different players who contribute well to different categories. Yesterday, we dug into forwards providing solid draft values per ADP data from Fantrax. Today, we’ll [...]
In Tuesday’s Ramblings, I started going over my fantasy hockey projections for the 2026-27 season. Those Ramblings covered some players comparisons that stood out for one reason or another, like Kiefer Sherwood vs. Jesper Bratt, William Eklund vs. Andrei Svechnikov, and Luke Hughes vs. Brandt Clarke. Go check that out to get an overview on [...]
The New York Rangers added some depth on the wing by signing Eeli Tolvanen to a one-year contract worth $1.5-million, per PuckPedia. Tolvanen posted 12 goals, 36 points, 141 shots, 187 hits, and 81 blocks with the Seattle Kraken in 2025-26. He is moving to a team that ostensibly should be better offensively than the [...]
We have reached September and the NHL regular season starts in four weeks. Rookie camps start next week, training camps shortly after that, and then we’re ready to rock for an 84-game campaign. Fantasy hockey draft season is truly here. It is time to look ahead to the season and start our fantasy valuations. I [...]
