It’s my distinct pleasure to announce that I have accepted the role of Managing Editor with DobberProspects. Firstly, I want to thank Peter Harling for his tremendous work in this role over the last two seasons. His contribution to the growth of the site cannot be understated.

Wednesday night was the day we’ve all been waiting for. The preseason felt like an eternity and the excitement had just about left our collective bodies until that magical moment hit. The fantasy lineups were set, every team was undefeated, and for a few young lads, their moment to dress in [...]
With the world akimbo after the Erik Karlsson news dropped on Thursday afternoon, most were focused on the implication to the NHL rosters. However, there were a handful of prospects that exchanged organizations and we’ll take a look at those players here now. The Senators somehow decided it was a good idea to [...]
