If the Leafs elect not to sign Josh Ho-Sang to a contract, they can’t say that he wasn’t at least given an opportunity. During the morning skate and during Saturday’s preseason game, Ho-Sang was used on a line with John Tavares and Michael Bunting, and he was also given first-unit power-play time. The talent has [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing Fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. This week, we will complete the first half of the 2022 NHL Draft preliminary top-30 and evaluate the talent available outside of the top-5. Even after last week’s article outlining the [...]
In this month’s cap league skater rankings, the 2020 draft class continues to dominate the top-10 with their remaining term at a bargain price. New contracts to Anthony DeAngelo (although still a risky option), Eeli Tolvanen, Nolan Patrick, and Kailer Yamamoto, sees them as the biggest risers. Also re-signed to a fair contract was Rasmus [...]
Two days of camp are now in the books, with two preseason games to be played tonight (Saturday). Needless to say, there’s plenty to talk about. Since part of my job as managing editor is to organize writers and articles, I’ll mention that the Lining Up and Injury Ward article will resume regularly next week. [...]
In prepping for my own drafts (reading Dobber’s Columns, listening to Keeping Karlsson, you know the things you do), I have been noticing a minor theme; interest in streaks. Players getting hot and going on point runs is something we all have experienced as managers. Sometimes it happens to your players, but it usually seems [...]
Never a dull moment in Buffalo, apparently. The Jack Eichel saga has been ongoing for months now, and there has been no hint of a resolution. From a fantasy perspective, fantasy owners are on edge about what to do here. His ADP is inside the top-100 but that feels like people guessing more than anything. [...]
We are just over three weeks from puck drop on the 2021-22 NHL season. No better way to reignite the Capped article then to start of with a team by team, buy-sell series. I will be excluding all entry-level contract players as well as all your elite players/superstars. Those player values speak for themselves. Player [...]
Dobber Ramblings September 23 Training camps are open! Just a couple months after the end of the 2021 Cup Final, we’re back on the ice. It was a quick turnaround, and I think that’s something that can get lost on us as we head into this season. There are some players that did not get [...]
Free hockey pool player boxes, for those who would like to run simple pools at the office... Every year in April (for the NHL playoffs) and to kick off September (for the regular season) I group players into comparable boxes and post them online for people to enjoy for free. Whether it's for the office [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
