Welcome back to The Journey. If you missed last week’s installment, I kickstarted my top-15 mock draft. As you have been reminded often, this is an interesting draft to make bold predictions towards. The variations are plentiful, which should make for a very intriguing couple of days when the time comes. Before we get going [...]

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 and are also normally [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss playoff power plays and their influence on fantasy value. In particular, we’ll focus on David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy in Boston, as well as Cole Caufield and Erik Gustafsson in Montreal. I apologize for the Habs-centered discussion in recent weeks.
