James Hagens had six goals through two games (including all four of his team’s markers in a 4-3 OT win on Sunday), and is making a real push to immediately knock the $50M man Fraser Minten down to third-line center. He might not be able to put up big numbers right away against actual NHL [...]
For bubble keeper week we will go through some Eastern conference forwards and analyze some of their statistics to determine if they are worthy of a keeper spot. Of course, each league has different categories, sizes, and a variable number of keeper slots, so it is not a ‘one size fits all’ recommendation. Trevor Zegras [...]
Welcome back to another edition of the Roos Lets Loose monthly mailbag, where I answer your fantasy hockey questions by giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed. As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
For the last 23 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has 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, but in the realm [...]
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 [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers announced that winger Tyson Foerster is out for the year after surgery on his arm. Technically, if the Flyers win a couple of playoff rounds, maybe he can return some in May, but that is about the best to be hoped for. A tough season for a player who has become an [...]
We’ve reached a stage in the season where GMs are wondering if the scoring paces of skaters on their fantasy teams will be sustained, both for good and for bad. This poll looks at skaters who fall into the former category, namely those exceeding preseason expectations, with your votes to decide the ones whose strong [...]
Bubble Keeper Week rolls on here at Dobber Hockey. In my Ramblings on Tuesday, I answered a few questions including Wyatt Johnston, Dylan Holloway, Brandt Clarke, Marco Rossi, and more. In Monday’s Ramblings, Brennan wrote about Jackson Blake, Jonathan Drouin, Mats Zuccarello, and Josh Norris. Yesterday, Alex covered his own keeper decisions including Jacob Markstrom [...]
Hello everyone and welcome to this special 2025 Bubble Keeper Week (“BKW”) edition of Eastern Edge! I’m Eli Feldman. As many avid Dobber Hockey readers already know, today marks the second day of BKW.

Injury issues for the New Jersey Devils had really been piling up and there is always hope things aren’t as bad as they seem. There had been some rumblings (not Ramblings!) that Devils defenceman Dougie Hamilton would be out for at least the rest of the regular season with his lower-body injury, though, and that [...]
