The trade of Artturi Lehkonen to Colorado serves a few purposes for them. In the short-term, it gives them someone to slot on the second line in the absence of Gabriel Landeskog. Not that they’re in a fight for a playoff spot or anything, but it gives a bit of security in case Calgary makes [...]

Dobber had you covered all on his own on Monday and did a fantastic job breaking down all the fantasy takes for the relevant deadline deals. You can find all those pieces linked here. * There were a few signings too, and it sounded like Lou Lamoriello didn’t get any deals done, so out of [...]

It has been quite the week in the NHL as far as trades are concerned, even if the NHL’s trade deadline day itself wasn’t as busy as in some recent seasons. There were a handful of trades over the weekend, a couple of them significant like Claude Giroux heading to Florida, Hampus Lindholm off to [...]

Minor Moves (not worthy of a full article – to be updated throughout the day) Ottawa trades Nick Paul to Tampa Bay for Mathieu Joseph. Joseph is solid return. He just turned 25, kills penalties, and has upside in the low 50s if he can play with skilled linemates. Whereas Tampa gets a huge forward [...]

As we inch closer to the trade deadline, two more significant names in Hampus Lindholm and Claude Giroux were officially moved on Saturday. Read about the fantasy impact of each of these deals below.

Whether it’s a major blockbuster or a more mundane swap, Dobber Hockey will have breakdowns from a fantasy perspective of trades from a fantasy perspective prior to Monday’s deadline. It’s sure to be an interesting next few days, both from a real-life and a fantasy perspective. - Some unlucky St. Patrick’s Day news for Senators [...]

There has been some heating of the trading hot stove of late, particularly over in Colorado. It wouldn’t be long before the rest of the playoff teams started getting things going of their own, and the New York Rangers did exactly that. They had gutted their right-wing depth over the years by trading Pavel Buchnevich [...]

One thing I have realized in house-searching in the Toronto area is that Fantasy Hockey actually can prepare you very well for a lot of real-life scenarios. Need to submit an offer, haggle on price, and know when to cut bait on a house? Trading has you covered. Need to know how to do research [...]

We had just one game in the NHL on Monday night and it was the Arizona Coyotes heading into Ottawa to face the Senators. That is about as uninteresting as it can get at this point of the season, though there aren’t many games that are uninteresting from a fantasy perspective. Lawson Crouse tallied his [...]
