This week's analysis covers the last 10 seasons, 2016-17 to 2025-26, and one question. After seven games, which signals identify a waiver pickup who will be a fantasy starter the rest of the way? The answer is the first power-play unit. Forwards who were not fantasy starters the year before but were on PP1 after [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about some of the stats that correlate well to future production both among forwards and among defencemen. The next three Ramblings after that focused on forwards whose tracking data improvements portend point production improvements, forwards whose tracking data has declined, and which forwards showed playmaking increases. Today, we’ll [...]
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 [...]
We got the list of injuries from the Philadelphia Flyers and as we see with a lot of teams, it was extensive. There was a fractured wrist for Emil Andrae, which will require surgry, a fracture foot for Noah Cates, fractured ribs for Cam York and Travis Konecny, internal bleeding (!) for Owen Tippett, among [...]

Some bad injury news for Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin as reported by Mike Heika. Seguin will be undergoing knee surgery on his ACL and it looks like his season is over. There is no firm timeline yet in if/when he can return to the ice, but all indications are that he won’t be returning [...]
First things first, I want to say thank you to all of the veterans who have served their country. Without brave folks like you, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy this game of hockey that we all love so much. I have had two family members serve in the armed forces so if you ever [...]

Continuing to carry on an annual Dobber Hockey tradition started long ago, I once again bring you Fearless Forecasts for the upcoming fantasy season. On a positive note, I had infinitely more correct forecasts for 2024-25 than I did for 2023-24, although that was because none of my 2023-24 forecasts actually ended up happening! And [...]
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 [...]
