In last week's edition of 'Analytics Advantage', there was analysis on how plus/minus can have a massive, and understated, impact on fantasy hockey value. There was also an analysis on how plus/minus fluctuates when a player changes teams. This week will pick up where we left off and apply what we discovered a week ago [...]
In Tuesday’s Ramblings, I started going over my fantasy hockey projections for the 2026-27 season. Those Ramblings covered some players comparisons that stood out for one reason or another, like Kiefer Sherwood vs. Jesper Bratt, William Eklund vs. Andrei Svechnikov, and Luke Hughes vs. Brandt Clarke. Go check that out to get an overview on [...]
For the last 23 years (13 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 [...]
MacKenzie Weegar finished last season at minus-33, and 9-cat drafters are pricing it: his ADP sits at 123 as August closes. That minus-33 was worn on a Calgary team that finished with the league's third-worst goal differential. The defenseman who wore it now plays in Utah, and when you forecast his plus/minus from the jersey [...]
This week we are returning to our division reviews and identifying candidates to bounce back and candidates to avoid on draft day.

I’ll do my best to offer useful analysis and opinion as it relates to fantasy throughout. At the [...]
Today on Frozen Tools Forensics we are going to do a quick pulse check on some of the trade deadline movers. It has been about two weeks since the deadline, and most teams have something in the range of 6-7 games played. Not all of the players have managed to get into all of their [...]
Welcome back in, everyone! Deadline day has come and gone, and after taking in the day itself—and the days leading up to it—I must agree with the general sentiment: this was a slow one. It gave me flashbacks to the Kevin Shattenkirk deadline, where it felt like nothing happened outside of a few fringe moves. [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all! I hope the team you follow made the trades you wanted them to make at the trade deadline. We almost had a full snooze fest of an event, but luckily everyone’s phones must have started working at 11:50am and we started to see the influx of moves. With all of the change [...]
