The fun thing about fantasy hockey, or any fantasy sport, is that it can humble you very quickly. Case in point: last week, I had a Ramblings where I discussed defencemen and goalies I had yet to draft and probably wouldn’t draft before the season started. One of them was Edmonton Oilers blue liner Evan [...]
Good day, everyone, and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great off-season. I'm excited to be back for another season of daily fantasy hockey. For those of you who have been following along over the past few seasons, first off, thank you. Second, welcome back! And for anyone who is new to [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all… and opening night!!! We made it through the summer, and Monday truly felt like Christmas Eve because we had a pretty big trade go down that kind of came out of nowhere. The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Matt Knies, Emil Andrae, Steven Lorentz, and a draft pick to Columbus for Kirill Marchenko, [...]
Once again, I’m carrying on a longstanding DobberHockey tradition of making Fearless Forecasts for the upcoming season. What makes these forecasts “fearless” is they’re plausible, yet more bold than normal predictions. As such, I expect to get more of these wrong than right, but all are rooted in logic and/or statistics, such that – right [...]
The New York Islanders gave Mathew Barzal an ‘injured non-roster’ designation on Monday, per Andrew Gross. He currently has a knee injury and remember that he had knee surgery in February of 2025. His designation means he did not pass his physical at training camp, so this is clearly a lingering knee issue, which is [...]

The 26-year-old has quietly established [...]
Happy Monday y’all! We have made it! Finally, it is opening week, with games set to start tomorrow. Hopefully your drafts went as planned, but if not, we are here to help! The draft is only half the battle; working the waiver wire and making trades throughout the season is what will give you an [...]
*Note: Stats courtesy of Frozen Tools While it isn’t traditional, many fantasy managers enjoy participating in banger leagues. These types of formats feature different scoring metrics such as hits, penalty minutes, shots, and blocks, as being more, or equally as valuable as, goals and points. While Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, etc., are still some of [...]
Before I get into my draft results in a 14-team fantasy re-draft league, lets first cover some NHL news as the regular season is set to kick off on Tuesday. For those GM’s that have yet to draft (like myself) and looking for potential waiver-wire target targets. The Colorado Avalanche have signed undrafted T.J Hughes [...]
