Grant Campbell breaks down the latest fantasy information from the Western Conference – the streaks, the slumps, the line combinations and much more.
This week we are going to look at how each team in the West is doing on the power-play so far and how each team is allocating ice time. With the players, we are going to look at the percentage of power-play time and power-play points per 60 minutes. To put things in perspective, last [...]
After about a month of play, I’m going to go through each team in the West and choose an MVP and the most disappointing player to date. I’m going to look at factors like faceoffs, blocks, hits, Corsi, time on ice and of course production. I’m sure there are other opinions out there, so let [...]
I rarely write about goalies in the NHL, because quite frankly they are all a little strange and usually unpredictable. Every season, there seem to be one or two goalies who were playing in the Swedish 3rd division or the league below the ECHL and emerge to win 10 games in a row and propel [...]
This week we are going to focus on an unsustainable stat line that goes hand in hand with production. The one metric I will be focusing on is points per 60 minutes (pts/60). I’m not saying that other metrics like 5 on 5 shooting percentage, PDO, IPP and CF% aren’t important, but I find that [...]
There have only been a few games so far, but ice time and deployment are two factors that can significantly affect a player’s production. I’m going to list a few players who are in potentially reduced roles from what I figured they would be and who I have some concern about their production levels this [...]
With only a day before the puck drops for the 2021-22 regular season, rosters are taking shape and a few surprise cuts have been announced by teams. Some notable rookies sent down to the AHL were Calen Addison - Minnesota, Alex Turcotte - Los Angeles, Josef Korenar - Arizona, David Farrance - Nashville, Pierre-Olivier Joseph [...]
This will be my third season of trying to pin down the top 20 rookies and it is always much more difficult than it seems. I have over-reached on some 18-year-olds and just flat missed on some great rookies the past two seasons. The flip side is that I did have Pius Suter #17, Jason [...]
The Twitter-verse has been awash in early line combinations and premature impressions during each team’s first few days of training camp and preseason games. * * * DobberHockey's 16th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide is out now, fully updated and ready for download. Pick it up here! * * * This week I wanted to look [...]
We will continue our look at impending UFAs in the West this week with Minnesota, Nashville, San Jose, Seattle, St. Louis, Vancouver, Vegas and Winnipeg I’ve highlighted the key impending UFAs from each team in bold. I’ve also listed each player’s best totals over the past three seasons to give us an idea of what [...]
It is a little early but I always like to see what unrestricted free agents are on each team before the start of the season and see if the team will look to keep the player or trade them before the deadline. In addition, it is a huge incentive for the players to dig deep [...]
