Prospect Ramblings: College Hockey is on the Rise
This past Monday night, I attended the Beanpot semi-finals at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The atmosphere and the hockey on display kept everyone in the Garden hungry [...]
Prospect Ramblings: Looking back on CHL Predictions
Last August I wrote a piece for DobberHockey’s The Journey discussing my predictions for the CHL season to be. With only a handful of weeks remaining in the regular season campaign, we’ve all [...]
August 31-in-31: Winnipeg Jets
The Winnipeg Jets failed to reach the playoffs for the second straight year and there were a lot of moving parts in and out of the lineup last season. However, the Jets front office managed to stock the prospects cupboard full and once again continued to target the blue [...]
Prospects Rambling: Red Wing cap hit hell hindering hot hopefuls
Andreas Athanasiou is stuck in neutral without an NHL extension because the Red Wings are over the cap limit and GM Ken Holland has yet to reach agreement on a contract with his young RFA. Just when it looked like things couldn’t worsen for the overpaid, over-the-hill and over-the-cap [...]
DobberProspects Fantasy Mailbag: August Edition
We are slowly but surely getting there. After some late summer tournaments and preseason matches, European leagues have fired up their regular season schedules. The U20 and U18 crowd have had summer showcases and we had another highly entertaining Ivan Hlinka tournament. Now, many of you are gearing up [...]
August 31-in-31: Washington Capitals
What an ....... off season for the Capitals. First it was another disappointing exit at the hands of the Penguins (sorry for mentioning), then resigning the 2015-2016 astronomically high percentage shooter Oshie and as a result trading a younger player on a better contract for picks, doing not enough [...]

Lack vs. Lehner, the Lawson Crouse debate and much more...
Thanks to a switch to help me deal with some Stats/Computer Science/Business midterms (which went well, I think), these are my second ramblings in four days, you can check out the previous one here. Buckle up, these are what I call a doozy.

There are some interesting prospect notes in Friedman’s latest 30 Thoughts, and I encourage you to read the whole thing, as it is excellent as usual.
Maybe the most fantasy relevant thing talked about is the uncertainty in the goalie market. There are a number of potential starters that could be moved, and that makes things interesting if you own a starter-ready backup.

Mar 6th Ramblings
When it makes sense to draft McDavid fourth overall, some OHL updates, and maybe the best OHL season ever.
I’ve mostly been letting Brendan Ross take care of hyping the draft-eligible class, but you can’t help but notice Connor McDavid’s dominance and a recent forum post got me researching just how dominant he has been. As far as the OHL goes, it’s best to be blunt: Best. Ever.
Of draft-eligible players, he has the highest ever points per game (at least 40 games played). The last person to beat him: Wayne Gretzy. Before it was the OHL, Gretzky put up 2.84 points per game at age 17. McDavid’s 2.68 points per game is just as close to Gretzky’s as it is to his closest competitor in the past 20 years: Patrick Kane’s 2.50.
