We're getting closer to that time of year when commissioners everywhere are trying to herd cats and lock down a draft date. To those of you dealing with that annual challenge, I wish you the best of luck. Trust me, I'm sitting in that chair myself, and it's a heavy burden. While summer is still [...]
Last week, these Ramblings went through some stats that have shown good correlation to future 5-on-5 point production among forwards. On Tuesday, a separate Ramblings reviewed specific players who saw sizeable increases in the stats that correlated well with future production, and why they will (or won’t) see a points increase in 2026-27. Today, we [...]
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 [...]
Today’s focus will be on two Atlantic division line combinations that significantly outperformed their baseline. All six of these players enjoyed a disproportionate level of success due to elevated luck-based metrics. We start in Boston with Pavel Zacha, who set personal highs of 30 goals, 65 points, 0.83 points per game, and 64% of power [...]
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. Today, we’re going to look at the relevant stats mentioned for future [...]
Happy Monday y’all! Pretty slow news week and I am not into pouring fuel on rumors, but on Twitter last week, NHL player agent Allan Walsh posted that “NHL expansion is coming. Houston and Atlanta.” This would be easy because Houston would be added to the West and Atlanta to the East. So today, we’ll [...]
Here are the top goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - August edition! As I do every year, the August edition is the one that is fully audited. Each goalie's tier and upside has been adjusted. Prospects who were missing from June's edition were found and added. This season's projections were used, rather [...]
*Note: Stats courtesy of Frozen Tools This week, we will be doing things a bit differently and having some fun with the Top 10. Conveniently, there are exactly ten vacant captaincies across the NHL, and we will be predicting who will fill those openings and ranking them based on their fantasy value for next season. [...]
Now that we’re into the dog days of summer, things can get pretty quiet and there isn’t a whole lot of fantasy news to focus on, especially with most of the top free agents already signed. So, I figured it was a good time to go down the rabbit hole and take a look at [...]
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 and Central Divisions, so today we move on to the Metro. As a reminder here is a little context setting from the original article. In order to [...]
