Ramblings: Forward Blocked Shot Leaders – Jenner, Getzlaf, Horvat (May 10)
In case you missed it, Dobber Prospects head of European scouting Jokke Nevalainen found this nugget on a Finnish website: https://twitter.com/JokkeNevalainen/status/1259152548319186945 Of course, you can view Henrik Borgstrom’s Dobber Prospects profile here. Borgstrom has played in 58 career NHL games, posting just 19 points (9g-10a) while averaging about 12 minutes per game. He has spent [...]
The Journey: Top Fantasy Prospects In Europe
With even the potential of the NHL entry draft taking place next month, I thought it would be best to dive back into the top prospects representing each region. So far, we have covered all of Canada, hitting the WHL, OHL and finally the QMJHL. All of which are filled with their fair share of [...]
Ramblings: Top Frozen Tools Searches – Price, DeBrincat, Point
In case you missed it, the Capitals have terminated the contract of Brendan Leipsic, who made numerous inappropriate and disgusting remarks on Instagram. Leipsic was scheduled to be an RFA at season’s end, but considering that some of his comments were made toward NHL players, I would think that he’s burned a lot of bridges [...]
Frozen Tools Forensics: How predictable are game-winning goals?
The Big Board report is a treasure trove of useful information. This week I was scanning over the columns represented and game winning goals (GWGs) caught my eye (mostly because Leon Draisaitl has 11 on a shortened season and was at the top of the list). GWGs are a bit of an enigma. They are [...]
Ramblings: Who belongs in the Hall of Fame?
It’s the end of the week – I think – so let’s have a little bit more fun with posts. For those who missed, I wrote yesterday about what a 2020 Team North America would look like. I had a bit of positive feedback on it, so let’s continue in that similar vein. Instead of [...]

Capped: Contract status of Calder candidates
Hopefully everyone is still distancing as much as possible, because A) it’s a good idea, but B) it also means you have more time to read hockey articles! This week, as a result of a request, we are going to be looking at some of the Calder contenders, and checking in on their contract situations. [...]
Ramblings: Drafting Team North America for 2020
Four years ago, we were treated to the World Cup of Hockey. It was effectively a substitute for the Olympics as a best-on-best tournament, seeing as the NHL’s Board of Governors are way too greedy to ever allow the fans to be happy. It likely exceeded expectations, in large part due to the u-23 team. [...]
Goldipucks and The Three… Goalies! – Grubauer, Hart, & Hellebuyck
Welcome to Goldipucks and the Three Goalies, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge I'm covering three goalies and declaring one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
