Ramblings: Training Camps Underway – Ekman-Larsson, Bouchard, Puljujarvi, Niku (Sept 25)

By |2021-09-25T00:38:56-04:00September 25th, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

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. [...]

Frozen Tool Forensics: Streaky Players

By |2021-09-24T10:11:43-04:00September 24th, 2021|Frozen Tools Forensics|

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 [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Eichel, Carter, Reinhart, Hoffman, Hyman, Patrick – Stepember 24

By |2021-09-24T10:39:13-04:00September 24th, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

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. [...]

Capped: Buy and Sell – Part 1

By |2021-09-23T08:31:56-04:00September 23rd, 2021|Capped|

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 [...]

Free 2021-22 NHL Box Pools

By |2021-09-22T17:30:18-04:00September 22nd, 2021|The Dobotomy|

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 [...]

Forum Buzz: Draft Strategies; Cap Keepers; Goalies Galore; Hronek vs. Sergachev; Retooling vs. Rebuilding & More

By |2021-12-06T10:29:42-05:00September 22nd, 2021|Roos Lets Loose|

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 [...]

Ramblings: Kaprizov and Merzlikins Sign; Training Camp Battles in the West (Sept 22)

By |2021-09-21T19:56:26-04:00September 22nd, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

Elvis Merzlikins signed the same extension as teammate Oliver Bjorkstrand, which means a $5.4 million cap hit for the next five years. That gives him the edge in the crease over Joonas Korpisalo, just because of the politics. He's someone that might come at a bit more of a discount than your average starter come [...]

Eastern Edge: Evaluating Defencemen in Smith and Weegar

By |2021-09-21T15:33:21-04:00September 21st, 2021|Eastern Edge|

In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss Ty Smith and Mackenzie Weegar – defensemen that may be slightly overvalued in this year’s fantasy drafts.  Ty Smith The 21-year-old defenseman finished his rookie campaign with solid numbers, posting 23 points in 48 appearances. His output was bolstered by a hot start that saw him register eight [...]
