Here are the top defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - August edition! As I do every year, the August edition is the one that is fully audited. Each player's 3YP and upside has been adjusted. Prospects who were missing from July's edition were found and added. This season's projections were used, rather [...]

Macklin Celebrini (20 years old, C/LW) signs a 5-year contract with the [...]

Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site [...]
The New Jersey Devils finished second last in the Metropolitan Division in 2025-26, accumulating a paltry 87 points. Their minus-24 goal differential was third worst in the Eastern Conference. This young and talented team was expected to take the next step as a consistent playoff threat. One significant factor that negatively affected the Devils was [...]
