Training camps are about to get underway and that means plenty of information will leak out over the next few weeks. As mentioned in the Ramblings on Tuesday, a lot of it is not helpful for fantasy owners but there are always things to watch for; which prospects are playing with NHL roster players, and [...]
As training camps get underway later this week, there will be a lot of quotes from players, coaches, staff, and media covering a variety of topics. Most of them will be completely useless from a fantasy hockey perspective so knowing what to filter out and what to internalize becomes a useful skill. For example, a [...]
In Tuesday’s Ramblings, we started looking at my point projections for defencemen. The focus was on groups of players, such as those leading our projections, blue liners with serious competition for top offensive time, younger stars, and others. Go read that for a review of a dozen-or-so blue liners that are comparable in some way. [...]
With Gabriel Landeskog set to miss the entire 2023-24 season, Colorado has spent their offseason filling out their middle-6 forward spots. They signed Miles Wood, they traded for Ross Colton and Ryan Johansen, and they signed Nathan MacKinnon’s junior hockey running mate, Jonathan Drouin. Even still, there was room for more depth, and they did [...]
Last week, these Ramblings started digging into my personal point projections. We started with groups of forwards all in the same tier of production, moved on to some players with surprising (to me) projections, and finished with attackers that had notable increases/decreases in projected production when compared to 2022-23. For thoughts on a few dozen [...]

A pair of young players were extended by their teams on Wednesday. First, Morgan Frost was extended for two years by the Philadelphia Flyers with those seasons carrying an average annual value of $2.1M. Frost, who turned 24 years old in May, had easily his best season in 2022-23 by playing 81 of 82 games, [...]
Labour Day is behind us, and NHL training camps are just around the corner. The end of the pre-camp fantasy draft season is about to end as information on injuries, rookies, and lineup changes start to roll in. The fantasy draft campaign is almost upon us. I have recently finished my forward projections for this [...]

The 21st annual review will appear here on Dobber Hockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm [...]
