For the last 23 years (12 with The Hockey News), Dobber and his team have reviewed each team from a fantasy hockey standpoint and graded them. The 24th annual review will appear here on Dobber Hockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, [...]
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 [...]
Be sure to grab a copy of the 2026 Dobber Fantasy Hockey Prospects Report, now available in the Dobber Shop! Not only does it cover all the 2026 draftees fantasy managers need to know for their keeper, dynasty, or even one-year leagues, but it has a thorough breakdown of each team’s prospect pool, when these [...]
This is week three of our MVP series. Today we will be covering left wings. As a reminder, here is a quick intro to the work from week one. ‘Most Valuable’ is a tricky term that is going to be completely dependent on the league specific context. For the purposes of this article, we are [...]
This one is the generational clash. Tampa Bay has Andrei Vasilevskiy, Nikita Kucherov, Jake Guentzel, and Brayden Point — veterans who know what playoff hockey costs. Montreal has Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, Lane Hutson, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Ivan Demidov — the young core that has picked up the pieces along the way. Tampa's average age [...]
Alexander Ovechkin keeps on chugging along, scoring his record-extending 30th goal (and his 31st too last night) to hit that plateau for the 20th straight season. Pierre-Luc Dubois had four assists in the win, while Jakob Chychrun added three points, and a number of other top-of the lineup names picked up a pair as the [...]
Adam Sykora found the net again for the New York Rangers, making that goals in back-to-back games. Adam Fox chipped in with a goal and an assist himself, while Conor Sheary added a shorthanded marker. J.T. Miller posted an assist as well. If you started Miller in your lineups this week, he would have given [...]
Welcome fantasy managers to another edition of the Eastern Edge. This week we’ll be taking a look at Erik Karlsson’s reliable production, Cole Caufield joining the game’s elite snipers, Nikita Kucherov’s dominant run as well as the Carolina Hurricanes’ potential weakness in goal. Let’s get to it! For those of you invested in Pittsburgh Penguins [...]
Charlie Coyle continued his dominant run since Rick Bowness joined the Blue Jackets, scoring a goal and three assists, with two of those points on the power play. Over a full season his numbers under Bowness would have him pacing for over 100 points, over 200 SOG, over 25 PPPs, over 80 Hits, and a [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
