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 [...]
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 [...]
I was thrilled at the response to last month’s poll where I asked you to vote for the five most overrated skaters in fantasy. This month, not surprisingly, it’s a 180, as we shift our focus to those who are most underrated in fantasy. It was much more difficult to choose 20 skaters who I [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all! I can’t believe we are already into the month of March. It is crazy to think 2026 is already one-sixth of the way over. Any plans/resolutions you had for this year, you better get on it! Maybe like winning a fantasy title? Let’s finish the season on a strong note and win [...]
The NHL Trade Deadline is a week from today, but many fantasy trade deadlines are either this week or next. With those deadlines looming, fantasy managers making a championship push will want to bolster their rosters. Below are 9 skaters – from top-of-the-lineup options to depth pieces – to target at this deadline. We are [...]
The Avalanche rolled into a snowy Toronto for a matinee and left having buried the Maple Leafs under an avalanche of their own. Brock Nelson was the clear headliner. He recorded a hat trick, scoring twice in the first period and sealing the deal with an empty-netter late. https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/2015531008154587223?s=20 Nelson now has 13 points over [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all! We have had some teams make some moves before the Olympic roster freeze. Two of the players finding new homes are Rasmus Andersson and Kiefer Sherwood. For the Calgary Flames, trading Andersson leaves a big hole on defense. They picked up Zach Whitecloud in return, but he isn’t going to log the [...]
This week’s list leans into the “next wave” theme. All five names here are either in the middle of their breakout or sitting right on the edge of one, and the common thread is usage. Beckett Sennecke is stapled to Anaheim’s young core and producing like a 60-point-plus rookie without any training wheels. Juraj Slafkovsky [...]
Scott Wedgewood and Thomas Harley made their returns to the lineup last night. Harley was sitting behind Miro Heiskanen as far as the offence in Dallas was concerned early on, so it will be interesting to see whether he can make any in-roads there, and how that affects what has been a fantastic run from [...]
