Over the past few years, the Anaheim Ducks have been populating the Eastern Conference with their former players: Jamie Drysdale, Trevor Zegras, Olen Zellweger, John Gibson, John Carlson (more on him later), Radko Gudas, and now Chris Kreider. The 35-year-old Kreider becomes the oldest player on the Montreal Canadiens, and will get paid a base [...]
The Montreal Canadiens have signed forward Chris Kreider to a one-year contract worth $2.15 million. Kreider and the Anaheim Ducks recently agreed to terminate the final year of his contract. This agreement was made to clear cap space for the Ducks, who will need that space to sign restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier. Kreider should [...]
Just when it feels like summer signings have slowed down, we get two significant extensions for young players, both carrying fantasy implications for the present and well into the future. Not only that, but we also could be seeing a former Ranger on the move back east. Never a dull afternoon! Fraser Minten (22, C/LW) [...]
Adam Sykora found the net again for the New York Rangers, making that goals in back-to-back games.

The 23rd 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 [...]
The NHL offseason always brings a wave of player movement. Some names land with contenders, others with rebuilding squads, and every new jersey comes with new context. For fantasy managers, the key is identifying which changes actually matter. Ice time shifts, new linemates, and special teams usage can tilt the scales more than raw talent [...]
Rumours had been there for months now and after some rumblings that a deal with the Anaheim Ducks was in the works, we waited a couple days for the likely Chris Kreider trade to go through (he had a no-trade clause that needed to be waived). After Kreider spent some time evaluating the deal, he [...]
