Toews

 

Short intro this week, as time has become quite valuable these days.  Last week started out 2-4, while Thunder cracked .500 at 3-3.  I was a few minutes away from getting the Washington-Carolina tie.  Damn those PP’s in overtime really hurt!  Anyways, it’s another week, we are a few games into the season and hopefully we can start finding some successful trends to run with towards some money.  Hope everyone enjoys another night of 28 teams in business.  So grab a cold one and let’s get on with it.

 

To Keep or to Drop?

Scheifele

 

Most teams have played a half dozen games and we're getting  close to the nine game limit where teams have to decide whether to keep or cut high picks or risk having their contracts kick in. Aside from newly drafted players, there have been a few surprises both pleasant and not so pleasant.

  Brian Elliott looked great last night. His hand eye coordination is amazing (I remember watching a video on him doing some training with tennis balls being tossed at him), and it shows on shots to his glove and blocker. With Halak struggling right now, he could see more starts in the next few weeks. [...]

The Jets decided to send Mark Scheifele back to junior. Winnipeg fans have reason to be excited for his future though. While it certainly seems to be the right decision now, I kind of wonder if this scenario would have played out differently had Evander Kane not been so "off" early on. Had Kane enjoyed [...]

Looking Ahead – Week 3

Elias

 

A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the 'multiplier' to use on a player's point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.

  Below I noted that Caron had been sent down to Providence. Well, he notched an assist in Sunday's game for them and has now been recalled by the Bruins again.   I made a couple of deals on Friday. In my one keeper league that is points only, I shipped off Vladimir Tarasenko for [...]

Emerging Stars: John Tavares

Tavares

 

As most teams have played six or seven games and the rust has shaken off, we are starting to see who is performing up to standards and who is either exceeding or falling short of our expectations. Although most expected an improvement, New York Islanders captain John Tavares is one of those players exceeding our expectations early. In fact, the only person scoring at a higher pace in the NHL right now is Toronto sniper Phil Kessel (Kessel is on pace to score 164 points while Tavares is on pace to score 137).

  LIKE the Dobber Sports Facebook page. Why? Because on November 2nd - Wednesday - I will draw 12 names. The first name drawn from the list of "likes" will receive an EASTON Stealth RS hockey stick - this stick kicks ass, take it from me. The one I have is a left shot, so [...]
