Training camp starts this week across the NHL and that means we finally start to get some actionable information. To this point, the only information we have besides projections – which are educated guesses themselves – are estimations of lineups and playing time. Things change throughout the preseason but even with split squads, we start [...]
The Dallas Stars have acquired prospect defenseman Nils Lundkvist from the New York Rangers in exchange for a first-round draft pick in 2023 and a fourth-round draft pick. Both picks are reportedly conditional, per Shayna Goldman, with the first rounder sliding to the next year if that pick is in the Top 10. The Rangers [...]
This week and next, Brennan Des and I will tier defense and forwards from the East and West. I will start with the West today but just a reminder that these tiers are subjective and meant as a guide to help you for fantasy purposes, not necessarily the level of skill of each defender. I’ve [...]
This time of year, every fantasy general manager believes they are Nostradamus, especially when it comes to players that we think other general managers are sleeping on.

Last week we officially kicked off the 2022-23 season with a look at goaltenders who found new homes in the offseason. This week we continue that trend and move out from the crease, and shift our [...]
To follow up on my recent analysis of ADPs, a Twitter follower messaged me about Mark Scheifele’s ADP being as low as it is because of his decreased value in multicategory leagues relative to points-only leagues. True, Scheifele is more valuable in points leagues. In fact, Dobber has him projected to be a top-25 scorer. [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way.
