Between Dobber covering for me on free-agency opening day, and swapping days with Cliffy this week, it has been a while since I got to share some thoughts here. I’ll start with the draft, and though I am no prospect expert (I defer to the DobberProspects group on that one) I do find myself often [...]
One of the more notable free agents left on the board signed on with a new team on Thursday morning. Nino Niederreiter, the recent Carolina Hurricane winger, latched onto Nashville for a two-year deal carrying an average annual value of $4M. Here is the breaking news from Elliotte Friedman: https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1550133872070987776 Let’s get to what this [...]
Much like last week, I plan on discussing some of the free agent/trade targets and the contracts that they have recently signed. Since the free agent commenced, there has been sizable movement across the league, and that ranges from the top-flight players down to the depth players. This has been one of the more hectic [...]
In Wednesday’s Ramblings, we talked about defencemen that had recently changed teams via trades. It really was a neat little four-pack of important players, for different reasons, that were all on the move. The through line for all the guys we mentioned, though, was that none were likely to get top power-play minutes in 2021-22, [...]
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Lining Up! This iteration will be a Free Agent Frenzy Fallout Edition, taking a look at the implications and potential line combinations of the recent trades and signings. With more big free agents still yet to be signed, information is coming quick and could mean the following [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday in these Ramblings, we discussed the impact of free agency and signings on either the acquiring team or the team losing a player. There has been some recent movement in the league that I haven’t touched on yet and is important to get to. For that reason, we’ll be talking about a lot of [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss the fantasy impact of some recent signings. In particular, we’ll get into Tony DeAngelo’s new contract with the Flyers and Ondrej Palat’s deal with the Devils. The cap information is taken from Cap Friendly. Tony DeAngelo Signed: $5 Million x 2 Years with Philadelphia DeAngelo had a strong [...]
Free agency has settled considerably and though there still are some significant names left, even outside Nazem Kadri, many teams have done most of the shopping they’re going to. Or, at least, all the significant shopping they’re going to do. For anyone who wants to read on the individual impacts from the signings, we covered [...]
The Predators re-signed Filip Forsberg to an eight-year $8.5 million AAV contract which should come as a huge relief to their fanbase. Nashville has been able to keep its core intact for this upcoming season. GM and Coach David Poile will be entering his 16th season as the GM in Nashville after being GM in [...]
