Today is the day! The 2019-20 Dobber Hockey Fantasy Guide is set to be released today in the late afternoon (depending where you live). It has everything fantasy owners need to get a leg up in their leagues: rankings, projections, depth charts, profiles, articles, and a whole lot more. And it’s constantly updated all [...]
We had two big bits of news on Monday. First, the Lightning extended goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy for eight years with an average annual value of $9.5M. The deal kicks in for his age-26 season, after his current contract expires following the 2019-20 campaign. In that sense, this deal kind of stands alone. Sergei Bobrovsky [...]
Now it’s officially official: the St. Louis Blues signed 25-year old centre Oscar Sundqvist to a four-year deal. It carries an average annual value of $2.75M. Sundqvist had a career year in 2018-19 with 74 games played and 31 points, plus nine more points during the Cup run, averaging over 16 minutes a night. [...]
Bubble Keeper Week rolls on here at Dobber Hockey. All week, our editors and writers have been covering the players on the bubble in your keeper leagues. I wrote about my own dilemmas a couple days ago, and there have been articles like this entertaining dive by Brennan Des into Jake DeBrusk and Tomas [...]
The Penguins have come to terms with RFA winger Zach Aston-Reese to the tune of a two-year contract worth $1M annually. Aston-Reese has 23 points in 59 career NHL games, most of which has been spent in Pittsburgh’s bottom-6. ZAR is an interesting name because if he can get regular minutes with Malkin or [...]
A minor signing to announce as Chris Stewart signed in Philly on Wednesday morning. This is a pro tryout, something we should expect to see a lot of in this year’s training camps. Stewart last played in the NHL in 2017-18, amassing 16 points in 54 games. He had 31 goals and 26 assists [...]
It became official as the Colorado Avalanche signed Andre Burakovsky to a one-year deal for $3.25M. The 24-year old was acquired last month and looks to rebound from the back-to-back 25-point seasons he posted in Washington. For those in cap leagues, it’s unlikely he skates on the top line or top PP unit. That, [...]
Micheal Ferland signing in Vancouver meant that Carolina would have a roster spot to fill, be it internally or externally. They decided to go with the external route by signing free agent Ryan Dzingel to a two-year deal with an average annual value just a bit under $3.4M. The 27-year old winger had a [...]
The Habs knocked one RFA off the board by signing winger Joel Armia for two more years with an AAV of $2.6M. Armia is coming off a career year of sorts with a single-season high in goals (13) and ice time per game (15:48). There’s no fantasy relevance here. We can all move along. [...]
A very cool development in the fantasy hockey world. The National Fantasy Hockey Championship, or NFHC, launched on Wednesday. It comes as a sister site for the National Fantasy Baseball Championship (NFBC), National Fantasy Basketball Championship (NFBBC), and the National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC). In a nutshell, they’re high-stakes fantasy leagues. I’ve taken part [...]
