Mathew Barzal, Ty Smith and Oliver Wahlstrom As we finally start getting used to writing 2018, players are also adapting back to life after the World Junior Championships.

*** Hello Friday readers! Usually this spot belongs to fellow editor Cam Robinson, but for life reasons we're swapping this week - you can catch his Ramblings on Sunday. *** One of the reasons Dobber is legendary for fantasy coverage is the annual Mid-Season guide (click for more info).

Welcome back to the Thursday ramblings. This week is around the mid-point of the season so I decided to go back over my top ranked prospects from the Prospect Report, some top ranked prospects from The Athletic, Dallas underutilizing their young depth, and my top 10 2018 prospects right meow.

Welcome to the Thursday ramblings once again as it is another Thursday in January. The World Juniors are over, and the three CHL trade deadlines have completed with the OHL and WHL deadlines wrapping up earlier today. Joel Henderson (@dathockeydoe) went over the WHL yesterday, more so the Regina Pats so check that [...]
Sam Steel (ANA). Jake Leschyshyn (VGS). Josh Mahura (ANA). Nick Henry. (COL) Just a few names who are holding down the fort as help arrives. Regina Pats currently sit 16th overall in the WHL standings. With a 21-19-3 record, the Pats haven't shown even close to the dominance they showed last season. However, they are 5-1-0 in their [...]
