My last couple of Ramblings have gone over a training camp question looming over each team in the NHL. We started with the Atlantic Division and then moved to the Metro. Today, we’ll be making our way all the way to the left coast and looking at the Pacific Division. The reigning Cup Finalists are [...]
In my last Ramblings, we discussed training camp battles from the Atlantic Division. Even though camps don’t open for a couple weeks yet, it’s important to keep an eye on certain camp battles and we’ll be continuing our way around the league today with the Metro Division. One thing I have noticed about team training [...]
For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 22nd 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 [...]
Training camps don’t start for a few weeks, but it’s important to look ahead to start wrapping our collective heads around what to look for. My next few Ramblings are going to cover training camp battles, going division by division, and today we start with the Atlantic. One thing I have noticed about team [...]
In two of my Ramblings last week, players that I’m avoiding and players I’m targeting were both discussed. A lot of the data used from that Ramblings came from the Underdog Fantasy website and their mock drafts. Today’s Ramblings will discuss the differences between that site, ESPN, and Yahoo!, and in particular when it comes [...]
When the Nashville Predators signed goaltender Juuse Saros to a long-term extension, the writing was on the wall that prospect goalie Yaroslav Askarov was not likely to remain with the franchise for very long. After reports came out that he had requested a trade and would not report to the AHL, it became an untenable [...]
The Winnipeg Jets and Pittsburgh Penguins swapped prospects Rutger McGroarty and Brayden Yager yesterday. I wrote up my thoughts on the trade here. In yesterday’s Ramblings, I went over some players whose ADPs I think are good value as we round into fantasy draft season. Today, it’s only right to go in the other direction [...]
It isn’t often we see two very recent mid-first round picks traded for each other, but here we are. It has been no secret that Rutger McGroarty was likely not going to be a Winnipeg Jet, so it was a matter of when he was going to be dealt. That trade came to pass on [...]
On Tuesday night, the Seattle Kraken extended forward Matty Beniers for seven years with a cap hit just over $7.1M per season. Beniers was the Rookie of the Year in 2023 thanks to posting 57 points in 80 games, but took a huge step back, production-wise, with 37 points in 77 games in 2023-24. He [...]
The news came down Tuesday morning that the Edmonton Oilers would not be matching the offer sheets of defenceman Philip Broberg and winger Dylan Holloway. Both will now be members of the St. Louis Blues. As compensation, the Blues will send the Oilers a third-round pick for Holloway and a second-round pick for Broberg. For [...]
