This week we are returning to our division reviews and identifying candidates to bounce back and candidates to avoid on draft day. We have already reviewed the Pacific Division, so today we move on to the Central. As a reminder here is a little context setting from the original article. In order to make this [...]
Work has begun on the 2025-26 Dobber Hockey Fantasy Guide, which will be available later this month. For fantasy managers looking to really bolster their preparation for the upcoming hockey season, the Dobber Keeper Pack is available in the Dobber Shop! It will include the guide and projections themselves, as well as the Prospects Report. [...]
It had been rumoured that Isaac Howard was going to be traded from Tampa Bay and that happened late on Tuesday night as the prospect forward was sent to Edmonton in exchange for prospect forward Sam O’Reilly. Howard then signed a three-year entry-level contract. This is a good bet for Edmonton. Maybe Howard turns into [...]
Although the Stanley Cup was lifted by Florida less than a month ago, between the passage of time, and the flurry of intervening activity relating to free agent signings, trades and buyouts, most poolies have understandably moved on. And although the playoffs of course represent only a brief snapshot as compared to an 82-game regular [...]
It’s not fantasy relevant news at this point, but Gavin McKenna choosing to go the NCAA route, and signing to play with Penn State is certainly intriguing and has a lot of ripple effects. He’s going to a program that wasn’t one of the leaders last year, but he now has the opportunity to elevate [...]

Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Brennan Des, and Dobber — 1. With the salary cap rising this offseason, this season's free agency period seemed more understated and even anticlimactic. With more [...]
In honor of free agency opening this week we are going to pause the division reviews and spend a little time looking at recent signings. The focus is going to be a bit more historical, though we may touch on current signings later on. Players who sign free agent deals over the summer are often [...]
One signing I missed during free agent frenzy was Logan Stankoven being extended by Carolina for eight years with an average annual value of $6M. Stankoven has 136 career NHL games including playoffs and has 28 goals and 40 assists in those games. He is going into his age-22 season and this contract doesn’t kick [...]
