With the unrestricted free agent deadline coming up on July 13th, I thought I would take a break from the looks at each western organisation and focus on the notable UFAs from each team in the West. Filip Forsberg was one of the bigger UFAs but he came to an agreement with Nashville on an [...]
Youth is king in fantasy hockey, with maybe the exception of grit categories. Quite often in fantasy drafts, we look at veteran players for PIM, hits and blocked shots. This is usually because there isn't enough information on grit categories in other leagues. Aside from PIM, the AHL doesn't have that information on its website. [...]
The Fantasy Prospects Report was updated just over a week ago with our Mock Draft, plus several additional player profiles. It will be updated again either today or Tuesday, simply with notes in the Draftees section stating when they were drafted and by which team – and then handy links to and from that team’s [...]
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 — 1. The NHL Draft started off by answering the question that had become very prevalent over the last few weeks: Shane Wright or [...]
Strike a key name off your free agent board. Several days before free agency begins, Filip Forsberg has agreed to an eight-year contract extension worth $8.5 million per season. Alex MacLean projected $8,394,700 per season for Forsberg, which is pretty darn close. See the rest of his projections here. I have to be honest: I [...]

The Nashville Predators sure are doing things lately, and the latest was to send Luke Kunin to the San Jose Sharks and a third-round pick. Kunin, going into his age-25 season, was a 15th overall pick in 2016 by Minnesota, and managed 41 points in 120 games with Nashville. The official announcement: https://twitter.com/PredsNHL/status/1545445862125539328 There is [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers, ladies and gentlemen. It was less than a year ago that they shipped Shayne Gostisbehere to the Arizona Coyotes, along with some draft picks, in what was a cap dump. Fast forward to July 2022 and they trade three draft picks for Tony DeAngelo, and then sign him for two years at [...]
Following the goaltending performances (or lack thereof) from Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek in 2021-22, namely in the postseason, it seemed likely they would shake up their goaltending. They did exactly that, as they traded Vanecek to the New Jersey Devils. This is how it broke down: https://twitter.com/SamanthaJPell/status/1545415121392078851 Let’s get to it. What New Jersey [...]
