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 [...]
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 [...]

Ben Pope reports that the deal is for two years with an average annual value of $8-million. Kane posted 16 goals, 57 points, and 169 shots in 67 games with the Detroit Red Wings last season and [...]

Parker Kelly scored his first goal of the postseason to break a 2-2 deadlock in Game 4 between the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild to give the Avalanche a 3-2 lead, and eventually help them to a 5-2 win after empty-net goals from Nathan MacKinnon and Brock Nelson. This puts Colorado up 3-1 in the [...]

Jeremy hops on for a quick solo shift covering some Olympic injury fallout, big performances on Wednesday, and speculative strategies for the last two weeks of the fantasy regular season.
