Another day, another slew of training camp notes. Before we get to them, be sure to get your copy of the 2023-24 Dobber Hockey Fantasy Guide if you haven’t already! There are projections, depth charts, prospect upside, and a slew of articles to help gain an edge in your fantasy league(s). It is updated throughout [...]
Welcome back to another edition of the Roos Lets Loose monthly mailbag, where I answer your fantasy hockey questions by giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed. As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
Last year I ran a pre-season Ramblings where I went through the top-100 players by their ADP at the time. We’re just getting into the start of training camp, and while there is some interesting injury news, the production and lineup sorting is nothing that we should be jumping to conclusions on yet. This time [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll divide some of the top Eastern Conference defensemen into tiers based on their fantasy hockey value. Keep in mind, there’s a fair bit of subjectivity that goes into these tiers, so think of them more as a guide for your own thinking than rigid rankings that you should stick [...]
Welcome back to a brand-new hockey season and, with it, the first edition of Lining Up. Hopefully everyone has had a relaxing summer either resting on their laurels after a job well-done or stewing over what might have been. This week will examine some way-too-early line combinations from the opening of preseason to get excited [...]
There really does feel like there is a top-tier of 5-6 goalies in the NHL right now. The issue is finding someone who agrees exactly with your list. Injury and workload concerns have snuck up with Andrei Vasilevskiy, Linus Ullmark has plenty of doubters and a smaller workload, while Connor Hellebuyck alternates up and down [...]
We have some training camp notes, especially with a full day of exhibition games. Before we get to that, though, make sure to grab your copy of the 2022-23 Dobber Hockey Fantasy Guide! It has projections, expected line combinations, rookie/prospect upsides, and a whole lot more. It is also updated whenever there is news so [...]
This week and next, Brennan Des and I will tier defense and forwards from the East and West. I will start with the West today on defense but just a reminder that these tiers are subjective and meant as a guide to help you for fantasy purposes, not necessarily the level of skill of each [...]
We’re in the middle of training camp, and that also means fantasy draft season. To reiterate, the Rating column below is closer to how I would try to draft all of these players, while the value column shows how much bang for your buck you’re getting, and the more you can optimize that value on [...]
Each preseason, one of my favorite columns to write tries to point out potential first-time 70-point players. Last year saw eight defensemen reach the 70-point mark. It could have potentially been 10 players to reach that plateau, however, injuries to Cale Makar and Roman Josi put a stop to that. The last time we experienced [...]
