Dobber here - TSN is reporting that Columbus has offered Guy Boucher the coaching job. The coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs favors run-and-gun hockey and doesn't mind small players, judging by the fact that the top scorers for Hamilton were David Descharnais and Brock Trotter. I'm still holding firm in my opinion that this [...]

The Prospects Report can be purchased here. We were able to get our new shirt supplier to knock a couple of bucks off the DobberHockey t-shirts, as well as cheap shipping. We added new shirts about two months ago - have a look here! Jamie Benn speaks with The Hockey News. He [...]

Dobber here. The Avs have signed Petr Budaj to a one-year contract. Goldman is trying to pick his jaw up off the floor on this one, because he feels strongly that Weiman is absolutely ready to hold the backup job and long-term will be a better goaltender than Budaj. Perhaps the Avs made a [...]

Buy the Fantasy Prospects Report here. Available right now! It's a case of being so good for so long, you are overlooked because it goes without saying. Naturally, Kenny Holland is the top GM (oops re: below). Too good for too long. I mention Tallon because the Blackhawks are about to be too [...]

The 2010 Fantasy Prospects Report is now posted. Enjoy! Le Guide des Espoirs 2010 de Dobber est maintenant disponible. Goldie here - Jason Missiaen was not offered a deal by the Habs, nor was he on the ice this morning for development camp. Similar to Delmas, he'll re-enter the draft! Puck Daddy's humorous [...]

May 31 – 2010 – Fantasy Prospects Report Out Tomorrow

By Dobber Sports|2010-05-31T12:38:56-04:00May 31st, 2010|Hockey Rambling|

Darren Dreger reports that Daniel Carcillo will be in the lineup tonight and that it looks like James van Riemsdyk is out. The big news is that the Flyers will be going with Michael Leighton. I noticed some activity on Twitter yesterday wondering why the Flyers took so long to announce it. Frankly [...]

Angus here - opening up my fantasy hockey mailbag today! Fire me a question here. These two finalists are so good for hockey. It's the copycat syndrome - when Anaheim won the Cup, many teams went out and got tougher. When New Jersey won the Cup it kicked off the dead puck era [...]

Got my first sneak peak at the 2010 Prospect Report today... in a word - comprehensive. Lists for everything you can think of. Dobber, Bugg, Goldman, and Van Horne all share their thoughts on the best prospects in the hockey world. It appears Jacob Markstrom has signed with the Panthers. Some new [...]

Goldie again - Preds signed Atte Engren to a two-year entry-level deal today. This is big news, as he's a phenomenal Finnish goalie with great upside. Combined with recent signing of Anders Lindback, Preds continue to develop raw-skilled Euro prospects under Mitch Korn's watchful eye. Goldie here - the Ducks traded Mattias Modig to the Penguins [...]

Goldie here - the Colorado Avalanche chose to NOT re-sign Peter Delmas. I'm very surprised by this, as I have witnessed a rise in Delmas' speed and skill at every training camp since he was drafted. As such, he will re-enter the NHL draft and probably play one more year in the QMJHL. Travis Hamonic has put pen [...]
