Fantasy Hockey Potpourri
Some thoughts and other odds and ends in the wonderful world of fantasy hockey…
Rebuilding Time?
Ah, being to resigned to failure. While many of your fellow poolies will be gearing up for a league title, you, my failing friend, are at or very near to the bottom. Several individuals in the same boat have put out their plea for more information on some sneaky steals they can partake in at the draft table. I'm more than happy to oblige. Just suck less next year, will you?
Proline Sports Select NHL picks – March 03, 2007

Dobber’s Band-Aid Boys
The Band-Aid Boys List - updated!
You've heard me talk about 'em. You've often wondered if I just pull them out of a hat (or perhaps, a certain body oriface). Nope. I get 'em off this list. A DobberHockey staple since 2005.
Definition of "Certified": The player is virtually guaranteed to miss games and is a significant risk to miss 12 or more.
Definition of "Trainee": The player has shown signs that he could become Certified. He is probably going to miss six or seven games in the coming season and has some risk of suffering an injury that will cost him 12 or more.
Sticks & Stones: Post Trade Deadline Part I
Peter Forsberg is a great player who has often been injured. The Nashville Predators picked him up thinking he would put them “over the top” to win the Stanley Cup. For Nashville, it was a gamble that they thought was worth it. The addition of Forsberg made many fantasy owners scramble for his new teammates such as Alexander Radulov.
Bugg Bytes – Trade Deadline Bonus Article
The 2007 trade deadline was the kind of day we expected to see. Big names moved to big markets. Small names moved to small markets. And the ribs of Oilernation were once again cracked and the heart of the team torn out, still beating... so to speak. But wallowing in depression after losing Captain Canada hasn't stopped me from letting you know all about the young guns moved February 27th.
Deadline Day Decision Time
This was originally submitted to and posted by The Hockey News, ESPN.com and MSN.ca on Monday the 26th.
Tuesday, February 27 is the NHL trade deadline and in many hockey pools the deadline is close to, if not exactly, the same time. Those of you in one-year pools may not have as many big decisions to make as keeper-league poolies, but the pressure is still great and the need for swift action is equally strong.
Alexeev Off to the Windy City
The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded winger Nikita Alexeev to the Chicago Blackhawks for Karl Stewart and a sixth-round draft pick. Don't underestimate this deal, poolies.
Brad Boyes a Blue
The Boston Bruins have traded underachieving sophomore Brad Boyes to the St. Louis Blues for rearguard Dennis Wideman.
