Today, I’ll keep to my niche and focus on a few youngsters for those in the keeper/dynasty setup. This week lets talk blueliners. First up, Jamie Drysdale. In recent weeks and months, the notion that Drysdale was far and away the top defender in a lite defenseman crop has slowly dissipated. USNTDP standout, Jake Sanderson [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll break down a couple of the Eastern Conference playoff matchups and discuss their fantasy hockey implications. Obviously, no one knows what’s going to happen in the playoffs, but hopefully these thoughts can give you some perspective as you prepare for your playoff pool. From my experience, most playoff pools [...]
The NHL announced the finalists for the Norris Trophy (top defenceman) and Selke Trophy (best defensive forward). The Norris finalists are John Carlson, Victor Hedman, and Roman Josi. My personal ballot was Carlson, Josi, and Alex Pietrangelo. I have no problem with Hedman; Pietrangelo will probably finish in the top-5. When writing about this a [...]
Now that we can focus on real-time hockey events, it is time to write about things that are about to happen. Not involved are Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Jose. Colorado, St. Louis, Dallas and Vegas are through automatically to the actual playoffs but will play a round-robin to decide home ice advantage. First round [...]
It’s always easy to believe a player at home should be more productive versus when playing on the road. After all, the home player can often excel thanks to last line change leading to optimal matchups. However, that’s not always the case. This year, for example, 24 players had at least eight more road points [...]
The Interactive Playoff Draft List is now up and ready for download. If you bought the Ultimate Fantasy Pack last year, this is included in that package (i.e. not the more popular Keeper League Pack, so make sure you have the Ultimate Pack before trying to download it). This year’s Ultimate Pack, however, does not [...]

Every Sunday, we’ll share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week’s 'Daily Ramblings'. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Cam Robinson, and Dobber […]
It’s always news if Sidney Crosby leaves practice early. That’s what happened on Saturday, when the Penguins captain left in the second period of the team’s scrimmage for undisclosed reasons. For what it’s worth, Conor Sheary (remember he got traded back to the Penguins?) thought it was just a maintenance issue, but coach Mike Sullivan [...]
Welcome back, folks, and happy Saturday. It’s been a long road, but we finally have hockey back. Somewhat. I hope you have all been glued to your TVs and/or social media accounts and getting in your hockey fix, just in case. Whether it’s rush drills, breakouts, scrimmages, or even Zoom interviews, it’s been a breath [...]
