Hey everybody, it’s Sunday, and you know what that means! Time for another installment of Geek of the Week. Last week we officially kicked off the 2022-23 season with a look at goaltenders who found new homes in the offseason. This week we continue that trend and move out from the crease, and shift our [...]
To follow up on my recent analysis of ADPs, a Twitter follower messaged me about Mark Scheifele’s ADP being as low as it is because of his decreased value in multicategory leagues relative to points-only leagues. True, Scheifele is more valuable in points leagues. In fact, Dobber has him projected to be a top-25 scorer. [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. This week, prospect camps and showcases have opened up around the league. As other Dobbers writers have pointed out in recent weeks, insights like “Player A is in the best shape [...]
Whether it is the first step in major player personnel changes or simply pressing the reset button, the Winnipeg Jets have decided not to have a team captain in 2022-23, removing the captaincy from Blake Wheeler.

My first three entries are here, [...]
In case you missed it, I made my first-ever appearance on the Keeping Karlsson podcast on Sunday. Elan wanted to discuss the Fantasy Guide and a few particular projections, and I was more than happy to oblige. You can listen to an audio-only version of the podcast here, or you can watch it on video [...]
With draft season right around the corner, what better time to start discussing potential draft picks to help you acquire the championship in your respective league. While many times your best performances come from the guys that you take in the early rounds of the draft as they often become your core pieces, the players [...]
September brings drafts, whether they be real drafts or simply mock drafts. During this time, we get a better idea of what a player’s value is to those who actually pick the players. Many of the adjustments to the Roto Rankings this month are related to ADP (average draft position). Hopefully these rankings will help [...]
My Ramblings on Tuesday discussed four player that had breakout seasons in 2021-22 and whether the breakout was a one-off, is repeatable, or if there is decline in the offing.
