Despite losing to Finland in the Gold Medal game of the 2011 World Championships, Viktor Fasth proved throughout the tournament that he’s ready for a bigger challenge. That challenge could be the NHL, as three teams have already expressed interest in him. But which team gives him the best chance to play games and improve his fantasy value?
Goldie Says: Here's Nine Thoughts on Niko Hovinen and his new deal with the Flyers. This damages Eriksson and Riopel's long-term value. A phrase to describe Philly's goalie depth?

Back this week with a ripper of an article. At the end of the last couple of seasons I wrote similar columns which were generally very well received by my fellow Dobberites, so I figured I’d go back to the well once again. It’s a great add-on to give you a decent recap of what went on this past fantasy season as well as what to expect for the upcoming season especially if you are trying to get a head start on your competition.

Angus here again - covering the week for Dobber. The final OHL ramblings of the year - a great read to get a good idea of what is going on with several top prospects in Ontario's best junior league. Prospect Report – about two weeks away. Putting the final touches on hundreds [...]
Think of the single most stressful moment you have ever experienced. I bet it involved the guilt of eating a chocolate bar, the anticipation of pain from a needle, the uncertainty of going in for a first kiss and the total fear of going skydiving all rolled into one. This moment is known as the Centerman Plunge and it happens at your fantasy draft every year.
One more point about the Prospects Report - as a poolie who uses a one-to-three year window to build my team, I absolutely love the 3YP (best three seasons of production) number that has been added to the guides this year. The upside number is good and all, but often times players will [...]

Torontonians - looking for your vote/feedback on the possible date of an event. We will be celebrating the acquisition of Goalie Post sometime in mid-June and you're all invited to join myself (Dobber), Justin Goldman and Goalie Post's Jeff Hillen. I'm sure there will be a couple of other writers there as well (Anthony [...]
Ehrhoff is doubtful for tomorrow's game. Look for Keith Ballard to draw in. Don't expect to see Aaron Rome, either. Could see Chris Tanev or Andrew Alberts. Manny Malhotra continues to improve each day... Sounds like if/when Winnipeg joins the league, they will stay in the Southeast for scheduling reasons. I'm sure [...]
Brayden McNabb has been suspended for one game for his elbow to the head of Joey Hishon. McNabb is a top prospect for Buffalo and Hishon is a top prospect for Colorado – both players are profiled in the Fantasy Prospects Report that is out in 10 days. Hishon, who may be a little [...]
