With the Seattle Kraken making their final payment a few weeks ago, the team is now free to make trades and sign players. Using the ‘Seattle Expansion Draft Simulator’ on www.capfriendly.com can be a little overwhelming, so I thought I would make an attempt at each team and what players would be protected and what [...]
It’s always frustrating when you look back at a season and you think you could have been a contender if it wasn’t for your players all getting injured. We’ve all been there. Even if you shy away from Band-Aid boys, there’s always a chance that your guys spend more time on the IR than Kris [...]
I don’t think there are any more playoff drafts at this point, but just in case – you can pick up my Playoff Draft List here. Later this week I will set up the shop for pre-sale of next season’s items. If you’re a subscriber and the payment went through, then you’re already signed up [...]
Every Sunday, we'll share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, and Dobber ___ 1.

Welcome back to The Journey. I do not have to tell you twice, the playoffs are a time to embrace some of the best hockey you will see, no questions asked. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of prospect watching. While there are always exceptions to the fact, as I shed light on last week [...]
Late Friday, the NHL announced that Nazem Kadri had been suspended for eight games for his hit to the head of Justin Faulk. I don’t say this all the time about the Department of Player Safety, but the NHL made the right call given the severity of the hit and Kadri’s suspension history. Kadri has [...]
Now that the season is finally under wraps (sorry Vancouver/Calgary) it is time to take a look back and see how things panned out. For this mini-series we are going to take each position and see who provided the most value. We will do this by comparing their draft rankings to their performance rankings. Basically, [...]
It’s hard to imagine that the NHL’s oldest rivals have gone 42 years without facing each other in a playoff series. The rapid growth of NHL expansion combined with the two teams playing in separate conferences for a while have factored into the wait, so it’s ironic that they’ve been brought back together in a [...]
Welcome back for part III. This week we’ll cover the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, Nashville Predators, Montreal Canadiens, and Minnesota Wild. The previous sections in this ongoing series can be found here. You will see the trend continue this week, where some teams have little in the way of unrestricted [...]
