For the last 23 years (13 with The Hockey News) DobberHockey has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 24th annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of [...]
Last week, these Ramblings went through some stats that have shown good correlation to future 5-on-5 point production among forwards. On Tuesday, a separate Ramblings reviewed specific players who saw sizeable increases in the stats that correlated well with future production, and why they will (or won’t) see a points increase in 2026-27. Today, we [...]
The Los Angeles Kings officially ended their coaching search by hiring former New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette. He steps in after a year away from coaching following his stint with the Rangers. From a fantasy hockey perspective, this should be viewed as a net positive for most of the Kings’ key offensive pieces. [...]
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.

I,for one, am happy that Artemi Panarin got dealt from a content [...]
Right at the pre-Olympic deadline, the Rangers moved Artemi Panarin to the Los Angels Kings, in return for Liam Greentree and a third-round pick. Apparently Panarin only wanted to go to LA, which means a few hands were tied here. Panarin then signed a two-year extension with LA, worth $11M per season. The Rangers retained [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that forward Justin Brazeau and goaltender Tristan Jarry will be out for four weeks and three weeks, respectively, with upper- and lower-body injuries, respectively. Both are a big part of the great start that the Penguins have had and are a loss for the team. My suspicion is there will be [...]
Good morning DFS crew!
