Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean and Dobber — The Prospects Report was released June 1. Updated just a few days ago with its annual Mock Draft. You can order all of [...]
Yesterday I listed a few players who may fall down 2023-24 preseason draft rankings because they played fewer than 70 games last season. The players I had listed all finished above the point-per-game mark. Today I’ll provide six more players who could fall farther than they should for the same reason, although they finished under [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. This week, I’m going to highlight some of the top scorers in each of the three Canadian Hockey Leagues (CHL): the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Quebec Major [...]
The first buyout of the season took place on Friday, and it was a big one! Just as the buyout window opened, the Canucks decided to part ways with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and his albatross contract. Ekman-Larsson had four more years with an $8.25 million cap hit per season. I didn’t think the Canucks would buy [...]
Welcome to our final skater installment of the Most Valuable series. We will return to the playoff results next week. We have completed reviews for centers, and right and left wingers, and today we will move to defensemen.

I don’t know that many had the Golden Knights taking it all at the start of the playoffs (at least none of our writers did), but this was a team that had the best record in the Western Conference while finishing fourth overall. Not [...]
Now that the Stanley Cup has been handed out, the offseason begins. Since the playoffs aren’t filled with much player news, there are only minor tweaks to the Top 100 from May. Regardless, we’ve shuffled a few players, in particular goalies. As what should be a busy offseason is about to begin, expect more significant [...]
When the postseason finishes, the nature of the injuries revealed are usually pretty brutal. The one that comes to mind immediately is Patrice Bergeron and his collapsed lung, though the list of players to have done something similar is lengthy. With Vegas's win in Game 5, we were sure to get some gnarly updates, and [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
The storylines always seem to write themselves once the Stanley Cup is won. The misfits from Vegas are taking home their first cup with a 9-3 win over the Panthers. Jack Eichel still with zero post-season series losses, Mark Stone returning from his multiple back surgeries, the goalie carousel culminating with Adin Hill padding his [...]
