Hello everyone, and welcome back to Geek of the Week. In this article, I will be reviewing the goaltender position for multicategory leagues. I will be using the True Value constructs like Quality Weeks (QWs), Really Bad Weeks (RBWs), and Star Weeks (SWs). These goalie stats provide a better picture of goaltender consistency and gauge [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Inspired by Thomas Harley’s incredible break out campaign in 2023-24, this is the second instalment in a series highlighting young players (under 24) around the league who made a significant [...]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired Craig Berube to be their new head coach, replacing the fired Sheldon Keefe. Berube was previously the head coach of the St. Louis Blues, where he took over as head coach partway through the 2018-19 season and guided the team from the bottom of the standings to a Stanley [...]

These rankings are different from keeper rankings in that they don’t extend beyond one season. 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 and are also normally [...]
Last week’s iteration of Eastern Edge featured a retrospective into some of the best under-the-radar fantasy hockey performances of the previous regular season from players on non-playoff teams. As mentioned, sometimes in the fantasy game you have to look back to get ahead. Conversely, it’s never too early to dig into some research and have [...]
Regardless of what series you’re talking about, all teams remaining in the playoffs clearly have talented rosters with fantasy-relevant pieces up-and-down their lineups. However, just like with any team sport and a prolonged postseason push, not every player pulls their weight and poor playoff performances can have a direct impact on fantasy value heading into [...]
This week, I will go back to 2015 and look at Western teams and see if they dealt their first or second-round pick and if the pick was worth more than the roster player or picks they got back. The point is that teams try to add that last piece of the puzzle to help [...]
