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 [...]
Here are the Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - December edition! Nothing really adjusted this month versus last month, other than revealing a major new feature (very helpful). Based on reader feedback, I have put in which way the defensemen shoot (LD and RD).

Whether it's for the office [...]
Coming up to fantasy drafts that should happen within the next 30 days (barring any further delays), there haven’t been a ton of changes throughout the Roto Rankings. However, as fantasy owners in single-season leagues decide who their first pick will be, there have been some changes within the top 10. Most notably, after further [...]
There were a bunch of stories today about NHLers currently playing in Europe heading back to their respective clubs. Joe Thornton is one, a couple of Sens being others. Just a reminder that the Government of Canada still has a 14-day quarantine in place for out-of-country travellers, meaning players travelling from Europe need to get [...]
This week we will look at San Jose, St. Louis, and Vancouver, Vegas and Winnipeg and look at the players that have an NMC, NTC or M-NTC and see how this might influence each team moving forward. Another important aspect to the NMC is that the teams need to protect these players in the upcoming [...]
Even though the NHL doesn’t have an official start date, division realignments or a schedule, that’s not stopping fantasy general managers from participating in fantasy drafts.
