My keeper league auction draft started last weekend. In case you’re wondering why it didn’t finish in an evening, it is because bids are placed via private forum and must stand for 72 hours before the player can be claimed. I believe this is what the guys over at Keeping Karlsson call a slow draft. [...]
Here are the Top 50 prospect goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - Fall edition! Twice annually, I pull out all the prospects from my main list and assign them a new formula. This one stresses upside, certainty and wait time, with less (but still some) emphasis on immediate wins and current quality [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. To start things off this week, I’d like to start by thanking you for following me over the past few months. It has been a long road, with little hockey to speak towards, but I appreciate all of your feedback, input, and most importantly, your support! Aside from the QMJHL [...]

This week we are back in the saddle to finish up our mini-series on multi-cat players. Two weeks ago we hit the forward group, and this week we are going to talk defensemen. Just as a quick reminder, we are using the Frozen Tool’s Report, Multi-Category. For the purposes of our work today we will [...]
I’m definitely not saying I want this to happen or even think this will happen. But between the deferred salary/escrow issue between the NHL and the NHLPA and the rising COVID situation in many provinces and states, I think there’s at least a slight chance that the 2020-21 season doesn’t even get off the ground. [...]
We are well into the dull part of the second offseason that 2020 has given us, so it seems like a perfect time to use up the next eight weeks with our buy/sell series. That should take us into January just in time for the NHL to make a final decision on the start of [...]
The German junior team announced its prelim roster and though Tim Stuetzle is (obviously) on it, as Chris Peters points out, he may not be ready for the tournament. He suffered a hand injury a few weeks ago and it was a 6- to 8-week timeline from then. That would put him somewhere mid-late December. [...]
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 [...]
The Panthers made history on Tuesday when they announced the hiring of Brett Peterson as the club's Assistant GM. Peterson becomes the first black AGM in NHL history. https://twitter.com/ColorOfHockey/status/1328783184620904448?s=20 Normally, Florida is low-hanging fruit for ridicule, but between this and Kim Ng being named the Marlins GM recently, it's nothing but good vibes from me.
