The NHL released a revised schedule on Wednesday, updating all 32 teams’ future, given all the postponements in the past. Some teams were more influenced than others but every team has some significant schedule movement to discuss. There will be a lot more on this in the near-future here at Dobber. Our ‘Looking Ahead’ column, [...]
While going through some data since the calendar turned to 2022, I noticed that Sam Bennett’s ice time has been on a slide. He has 15:12 per game over his last four games, but it would be hard to blame someone for missing that, buried underneath his six goals and eight points in those four [...]
The NHL announced their All-Star rosters on Thursday night. While not directly related to fantasy, it gives us a good opportunity to talk about players across the league for the same reason other than, well, you know. As a reminder, there must be one player selected from each NHL roster, and each division produces an [...]
The 2022 Dobber Hockey Midseason Guide is currently under preparation, and that will be available in the Dobber Shop in the near future. For the guide, I wrote about a lot of players that could be on the move at the trade deadline, and the general state of each team as they consider their seller/buyer [...]
Players changing teams is a constant in the league, but the reasons why they change teams can vary. Sometimes it’s just a UFA signing elsewhere, sometimes a player requests a trade, sometimes the team is stripping itself for parts, and sometimes a player just needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Only a couple games in the NHL last night as the schedule stills tries to find its balance. It does give a bit of chance for some research and looking at where we can help fantasy owners. Today I want to look at changing shot rates throughout the year. Shot rates are important for a [...]
With just one game in the NHL last night, there really isn’t a whole lot to talk about, other than a bit of news. This is my first Ramblings of 2022 so I thought it would be a good chance to essentially build off my final Ramblings of 2021. That article covered some stats that [...]
Every year, around Christmas, as the NHL is winding down for their break, the hockey world turns towards the World Juniors. For many hockey fans, it’s one of the highlights of the hockey calendar. It is also a huge moment in the careers of a lot of young players. Few of the players that take [...]
It should go without saying at this point, but the landscape of the NHL is going to change dramatically on a daily basis for the near future. Every player is at risk of landing in COVID protocols and that can take any player, or any combination of players, out of the lineup for a team. [...]
Well, we’re here. It is Christmas Eve for those who celebrate, and the NHL is officially on its pause. (I suppose it depends on what team you’re playing for, because your break may have started days ago.) Regardless, the NHL’s official break is the 24th through the 26th, so that gives us a few days [...]
