This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to focus on some preseason storylines. Preseason is an interesting time with wild line combinations, players out of the lineup, random depth players scoring big in preseason games, and players being sent back to the minors. We are going to try sifting through some of the [...]
As we have seen in recent weeks with players like Zeev Buium, Fraser Minten, and Braeden Bowman, teams are trying to get ahead of their RFAs by signing them to long-term extensions a bit early (also because of the new 7-year limit which kicks in this week), which is what the Buffalo Sabres did with [...]
In a pair of Ramblings last week, I looked at which forward stats correlated well to future goal and point production at 5-on-5, then I repeated the same thing for defencemen stats. Go read those to get a foundation on what we’re discussing. Building off those Ramblings, on Tuesday we went over some forwards who [...]
Dobber's Offseason Fantasy Grades: Washington Capitals For the last 23 years (13 with The Hockey News) Dobber and his team have reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them.

Utah Mammoth prospect Vadim Moroz signed a two-year ELC with the Mammoth through the 2027-28 season. Moroz's offensive production dipped in the KHL last year as Dynamo Minsk added veteran talent but he still produced at a respectable rate. Moroz’s move to North America should help his game develop, giving him an opportunity to adjust [...]
Although a team still hasn’t hoisted the Stanley Cup, many poolies have turned their attention to the 2026-27 season. Normally that includes rampant speculation as to where UFAs will sign, and for how much, leading me to run my annual poll on UFA disappointments. Although there remain some fantasy-relevant players set to become UFAs, things [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all! What a start to the postseason! Minnesota coming in hot and Dallas with a great bounce back, the back and forth in Tampa Bay, Vegas bullying Utah, Philadelphia dominating the battle of Pennsylvania, the comeback in Buffalo.
