You can now preorder your 2020 Fantasy Prospects Report, which will be available on June 12. Once the final NHL draft order is set, you’ll be able to download an updated copy. It’s a very valuable resource if you would like to keep track of prospects for your keeper team – one that I frequently [...]

Cam said it well in yesterday’s Ramblings, as a white male I don’t have the experience to be able to sympathize with the racial injustices in the United States. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t be an ally, and empathize with those who are being persecuted and living in fear. Take a minute before getting [...]
In a normal year, the Dobber Prospects Report would already be released, as it’s typically set for distribution every June 1st, allowing fantasy freaks to read up on the prospects they need to know for their dynasty drafts in the summer or fall. It provides the opportunity to do a bit of homework when there’s [...]
After a break to focus on goalies, this week it’s back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, which, for new readers, is a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing [...]
Before we get going, I'll just take a moment to discuss what's happening in the United States. The protests happening throughout that country and the similar showings of support in other places around the globe are a long time in the making. I am a privileged, white male who has never known such fear or [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, I’ll continue highlighting important fantasy hockey takeaways for each team in the Eastern Conference. I tried to include information from the 2019-2020 campaign that may be forgotten during this extended offseason. Hopefully, these reminders will be useful when NHL action eventually resumes. This is the third of five* installments, where [...]
Sunday night I was able to hop on the Steve Laidlaw Podcast with, you guessed it, Steve Laidlaw. More recent readers may not remember him, but he was an associate editor here at Dobber for many years, and with the recent, let’s say, downtime we’ve been experiencing, he started his own podcast. We talked about [...]
In part eight of our look at the Western Conference GMs, we will look at Rob Blake in Los Angeles who served as Assistant General Manager for the Kings for just under four years, before being named the GM of the team at the end of the 2016-17 season. Category Ratings: 5: below average 6: [...]
In this column last week, we looked at 10 players that were in a trend of declining shot rates. A declining shot rate should be a concern for every fantasy general manager. In leagues with peripheral categories, fewer shots are obviously not helpful. But even in points-only pools, players that take fewer shots will more [...]
