It’s a long one today. Lots of thoughts on last night’s games, and then just for fun I go through in an entire mock expansion draft(!) to check for possible/probably fantasy ramifications. Seattle in, grab your coffee, tea, or drink of choice, and let’s get Kraken. * At this point in the season, you’re trying [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at players who are trending up and players who are trending down. We’ll start with a few players who have bounced back from slow starts and move on to others that have failed to maintain their strong starts. Trending Up Rasmus Dahlin – The 21-year-old defenseman has thrived [...]
With the trade deadline behind us, teams are getting into the final stretch as they make a push for the playoffs. In these final 10-12 games for most of these teams, we'll see a mixture of teams trying to keep a stable set of lines as they head into the playoffs as well as teams [...]
Patrick Marleau broke the record for most games played in the NHL, previously held by Gordie Howe, with 1768. Now, Marleau is just going to add games between here and the end of the season. Marleau is on his way to the Hall of Fame and this is a great way to cap off what [...]

One thing that can frustrate fantasy hockey general managers is when a player doesn’t produce on the power play. Most leagues count power-play points as a category. Even in a points-only league, having success with the man advantage can mean the difference between a 60-point player and a 40-point player. However, not all power-play points [...]
At the age of 28 and in the heart of his prime, Mark Stone is healthy and putting up the numbers we’ve been waiting for. At 50 points in 43 games, he’s on a 95-point 82-game pace. We’re not shocked. The only question to me had always been whether or not he can play the [...]
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. Well, it was a Trade Deadline Day. It certainly wasn't as busy as some other deadline days, but we did have a [...]
It’s crazy to think that American left winger James van Riemsdyk is already in his 12th year of service in the NHL. With nearly 800 regular season games played under his belt, he continues to find ways to be a useful offensive producer in the league. He has proven that when healthy, he is a [...]
If you needed points, there were lots of them in the early games. Pavel Buchnevich picked the perfect way to celebrate his birthday – with a hat trick. The three goals give Buchnevich 40 points in 43 games, which is easily the best points-per-game total of his career. Over a full season, that would put [...]
