    Tonight is the last night for all of the drafts you prepared for – if you’ve been waiting to purchase the Dobber Fantasy guide just go download it now and make sure you’re all set for tonight.  Even if you have already drafted, there will be great info on who to target for [...]

  Please excuse a short break from the summer series previews, it’s getting too close to the NHL season to ignore draft strategy. This summer I had fun learning about other fantasy sports and learned of a great tool for organizing thoughts. I work in a fast-paced environment where I may need a picture or [...]

  Only a few more weeks before draft season really picks up so make sure you’re prepped by picking up your copy of the Dobber Fantasy Guide. There are a few more teams from the Metro to get through and as we see some stability in ADPs it’ll be time to start taking a deeper [...]

Sorry I won’t debate it [...]

  The interweb is filled with draft prep advice, some of the best advice I’ve ever read fell in this article by Steve Laidlaw.  I’ve tried drafting goalie / goalie to start and have placed well in 14 team leagues, I’ve tried the early D approach through the first four rounds, and I’ve loaded up [...]
