While points-only pools are my favourite type of fantasy leagues, there’s something fun about being in a league with peripherals that give value to players you normally wouldn’t draft. A few years ago, I won a one-year head-to-head Yahoo pool that included PIM, blocked shots and hits, and a large portion of that success was [...]
In the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast's 31 Beats series, Elan and Brian are on a league-wide odyssey to explore the fantasy present and future landscapes of each of the NHL's 31 teams, gathering info by interviewing the people who know them best: beat writers!

Every Sunday, we’ll share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week’s 'Daily Ramblings'. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Cam Robinson, and Dobber […]
With even the potential of the NHL entry draft taking place next month, I thought it would be best to dive back into the top prospects representing each region. So far, we have covered all of Canada, hitting the WHL, OHL and finally the QMJHL. All of which are filled with their fair share of [...]
The Big Board report is a treasure trove of useful information. This week I was scanning over the columns represented and game winning goals (GWGs) caught my eye (mostly because Leon Draisaitl has 11 on a shortened season and was at the top of the list). GWGs are a bit of an enigma. They are [...]

Hopefully everyone is still distancing as much as possible, because A) it’s a good idea, but B) it also means you have more time to read hockey articles! This week, as a result of a request, we are going to be looking at some of the Calder contenders, and checking in on their contract situations. [...]
Welcome to Goldipucks and the Three Goalies, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I'm covering three goalies and declaring one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll rank goalies from the Eastern Conference, based on their fantasy hockey value this year. To make this list, I considered the save percentage (SV%), goals against average (GAA) and wins (W) from goalies that appeared in at least 25 games this year. Below the actual list, I shared some [...]
In part four of fifteen in our look at GM ratings in the West, we will focus on Chicago and GM Stan Bowman who might be a little concerned with the recent firing of President John McDonough and whether the new hire might replace him. Or perhaps Bowman will have his role elevated? Chicago is [...]
