The year of 2012 is quickly becoming known for the number of substantial injuries and the infirmary isn’t limited to National Hockey League players.  The 2012 draft class has been hit harder than a tornado coming through Oklahoma City in the summer months.  However, if these injured draft eligible players can return to good health soon then there is hope that we can switch the focus of 2012 from the “Year of the Injured” to the “Year of the Defenseman,” as it should be.

  The Ducks re-signed defenseman Francois Beauchemin - three years and $3.5 million per. Great cap hit for their best defenseman (this season, at least).   The next DobberNation will discuss the midseason fantasy award winners (and losers) - weigh in with your thoughts here.   What concussion?

    Get your hands on the 2011-12 Midseason Guide, which also includes a Jan. 13 addendum.   The Denver Post has a good read on Colorado Avalanche rookie Gabriel Landeskog.

  Alex Ovechkin could be facing a couple of games for his hit on Zbynek Michalek (clip below). Left his feet, targeted the head. Uh oh. Don’t forget, he’s been suspended before. I don’t believe there was intent, so perhaps it will be limited to just a game or two.   With Malkin rolling the [...]

By this point in the season, fantasy GM’s should be focused on the playoffs. If you’re in contention, you want to make sure you’re building a team that has the best possible chance to win. To do so, it’s important to not just look to get the “best” players, but really focus on your weakest statistics. Last week we took a look at some goal scorers who might be helpful additions, and this week we’ll look at some assist-heavy performers.

  Alex Goligoski received a four-year extension for big bucks, re-affirming our belief that he is a Top 3 key to the success of the Dallas franchise. He’ll get $4.6 million per.   Mike Ribeiro is probably going to return to the lineup tonight. The losing streak factored into this, because he’s been champing at [...]
