The Chicago Blackhawks have traded winger Brandon Hagel and two 4th-round picks to the Tampa Bay Lightning for forwards Boris Katchouk and Taylor Raddysh and two 1st-round picks. This is a steep price for the Lightning to pay for Hagel, who was largely an unknown quantity at the start of last season. However, Hagel is [...]
Is your bracket busted already? Yep, same here. No control over that situation but what we can do is help win a matchup this week in fantasy hockey. Whether you’re up by a bunch, down a little, the team with somehow five players on IR, or you haven’t checked your team since February, there’s I [...]
When considering fantasy, I have never put much weight into home ice advantage. Not because I believe it doesn’t exist, it clearly does, home teams have a better winning percentage on average. There are literal rules embedded in the game that support the home team (on line changes, faceoffs), plus all of the unquantified factors [...]
Whether it’s a major blockbuster or a more mundane swap, Dobber Hockey will have breakdowns from a fantasy perspective of trades from a fantasy perspective prior to Monday’s deadline. It’s sure to be an interesting next few days, both from a real-life and a fantasy perspective. - Some unlucky St. Patrick’s Day news for Senators [...]

While it’s nice to watch players like Anze Kopitar, Sidney Crosby, Claude Giroux, etc… There is just something special about watching some [...]
There has been some heating of the trading hot stove of late, particularly over in Colorado. It wouldn’t be long before the rest of the playoff teams started getting things going of their own, and the New York Rangers did exactly that. They had gutted their right-wing depth over the years by trading Pavel Buchnevich [...]
Seattle finally made a trade that actually looks like they got more than fair value on, netting three picks from the Flames (the highest of which is a second rounder) in exchange for versatile forward Calle Jarnkrok. What the Flames Get: The Flames already had a deep forward core, and they add an underrated scorer [...]
One of the big trade chips that the Montreal Canadiens had to offer – other than Tyler Toffoli, apparently – was defenceman Ben Chiarot. Notice that we said “was” and that’s because the Florida Panthers bolstered their blue line for the upcoming playoff run by trading for the pending free agent, just hours after trading [...]
In what looks like a pre-cursor move as we close in on deadline day, the New York Rangers turned a fourth-round pick and their abundance of cap space into a top-nine scoring winger in Frank Vatrano. What the Rangers Get: The Rangers have lost Sammy Blais for the season to injury, as well as Kaapo [...]
