Ramblings: Looking for Deeper Values in Fantasy Drafts in Greig, Dorofeyev, Perunovich, and More – July 18

By |2024-07-17T13:55:52-04:00July 18th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

In Tuesday’s Ramblings, I offered some guesses at players that I think will be undervalued when it comes draft time in September. They were more high-end options like Buffalo’s JJ Peterka, Columbus’s Kirill Marchenko, and Calgary’s Mackenzie Weegar. Today we’re going to dig deeper and look for values further down the list. As always, data [...]

Ramblings: Byfield’s Extension; Looking for Undervalued Options in Fantasy Drafts – July 16

By |2024-07-15T19:42:46-04:00July 16th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Quinton Byfield has signed a five-year extension with Los Angeles, totalling $31.25M over those seasons. The $6.25M cap hit makes it very palatable for cap league purposes as he’s just starting to scratch the surface of what he can produce in the fantasy game. It would not be the least bit shocking to see a [...]

Ramblings: Thoughts on Moves from Nashville, Boston, Washington, Utah, New Jersey, and San Jose – July 12

By |2024-07-11T11:42:38-04:00July 12th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

We have now reached the slow portion of the NHL offseason and while there are still a few interesting players waiting to be signed – Alex Nylander and Oliver Kylington come to mind – and almost certainly a significant trade or two to come – looking at you, Martin Necas – the rosters that we [...]

Ramblings: CapFriendly; Boqvist in Florida; Anaheim’s Forward Depth; Mercer in New Jersey – July 11

By |2024-07-10T11:01:20-04:00July 11th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Just want to give a shout out to the CapFriendly team for all their work over the last decade. The site went dark yesterday after being bought by the Washington Capitals. It was such an invaluable resource for all of us here at Dobber Hockey that it’s one of those things you don’t notice how [...]

Ramblings: Signings of Roslovic, Tolvanen, Zamula, Levshunov; Buffalo’s Offseason – July 9

By |2024-07-09T10:06:36-04:00July 9th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

There wasn’t a lot for significant signings made over the last few days but there were a handful that are worth noting for those in deeper types of fantasy leagues. Let’s go through some of those signings to see what we can glean from them. We will still be using CapFriendly for their cap information [...]

Ramblings: Lundell Extension; Tarasenko Signs; New Locales for Skinner, Stamkos, Bertuzzi, and Perron – July 4

By |2024-07-03T18:26:34-04:00July 4th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Almost all of the big free agents have signed, but there are still a handful of key restricted free agents left on the board. One of them was Florida’s Anton Lundell, and the key word there being ‘was’ because he signed a six-year contract carrying an average annual value of $5-million: https://twitter.com/pbpsports/status/1808529893765898748 Lundell, fresh off [...]

Ramblings: A Free Agent Frenzy for the Ages; Thoughts on the Draft; Slafkovský Extension; Michkov Signs – July 2

By |2024-07-01T18:22:42-04:00July 2nd, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Free agency proved to be quite the busy day as CapFriendly let us know that it was the first time in NHL history that over one billion dollars – yes, with a ‘B’ – was handed out in contracts in a single day. The cap jumping to $88M and then likely rising above $90M next [...]
