 Chicago has traded Robert Lang to the Habs for a 2nd round pick in 2010. I will have an analysis on this one probably tomorrow morning.  I just finished my writeup/ analysis/ commentary for last night's Expert Roto Draft. It is in the guide but needs formatting, converting and translation. I need a break, so the [...]

 Paul Kelly, head of the NHLPA, was on the Bill Watters Show on AM640 last night (where I make an appearance every Tuesday at 5:40pm - FYI). Kelly had something to say regarding Alexander Radulov: "I have spoken to both the player and his agent and he made a decision... and now we are working [...]

 The NHL has made a formal offer to arbitrate the Radulov case with the KHL on Monday. There is talk - and this is just some radio buzz - but there is talk that Alexander Radulov is having second thoughts. He's 21, and a lot of people that age really aren't sure what they want [...]

 Listen live to Dobber on the Bill Watters show on AM640 Toronto at 6:10pm via this link.   FYI the Don Matthews news bumped me off the 5:40pm slot on the Bill Watters show today. I will be on at 6:10pm today instead.  My articles over at The  HockeyNews resume their regular schedule this week - a [...]

 The Dobber Nation radio show has been a smash hit and we will be doing this twice per month. For the month of September, traffic is at its peak on DobberHockey - if you or someone you know is interested in advertising on the Dobber Nation radio show, please contact Justin at justin @thehockeyguild .com [...]

 Is this the final dead hockey Sunday of 2008? Hockey drafts are starting to take place now, but the hockey news is still slow. That should pick up when training camps open. All that's out there now is gossip - hockey fans and hockey writers gossiping like a group of old ladies over tea. Schneider [...]

 Ken Campbell reports that the KHL has withdrawn their grievance regarding Filatov, Tikhonov, F. Fedorov, Krog and Mojzis. Furthermore, they have agreed to have the Radulov dispute settled by a third party. You can read the full article HERE . This is a big turn of events and instead of the odds of Radulov returning [...]

 FILLED: After a random draw of 13 people who purchased the Fantasy Hockey Guide by Sept. 1, and a further random draw of seven more as a backup, I received 10 agreements, 2 "no" and 8 "no replies". I have THREE spots open but for now will fill TWO of them. The first two people [...]

 Carey Price dropped 25 pounds in the offseason, according to the Gazette. While it is wonderful that he is in such good shape, it scares me that his body underwent such a change so quickly. If you are used to moving a certain weight at a certain speed, it is an adjustment to suddenly move [...]

 That Brian McCabe thing dragged on for so long that when the trade actually became official, I missed doing a trade analysis. Florida will actually score more goals than Toronto, but with McCabe playing the same role on either team and getting most of his points on the power play, I don't see a large [...]
