For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy hockey standpoint and graded them. The 22nd annual review will appear here on Dobber Hockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings but in the realm of fantasy hockey both for the season ahead as well as the foreseeable future. Offensively, will the team perform? Are there plenty of depth options worthy of owning in keeper leagues? What about over the next two or three years? These questions are considered when looking at the depth chart and the player potential on that depth chart.

Dobber’s Offseason Fantasy Grades – Calgary Flames

The nice thing about fantasy sports is the wide range of options for players. There are traditional one-year leagues, there are keeper and dynasty formats, there is daily fantasy like DraftKings and FanDuel, there are box pools and guillotine leagues, and others I'm overlooking.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Jack Edwards is no longer the voice of the Boston Bruins on NESN network, as he has been replaced by Judd Sirott beginning next season. The network, team and fans of the Bruins are in good hands with Judd Sirott, as he has a very good background in broadcasting, having been honored both in 2018 and 2023 for "best Sports Play-By-Play" by the Broadcasters Association of Massachusetts. Sirott was the voice fans heard when they tuned in to 98.5 The Sports Hub to listen in to a Bruins game over the last seven seasons, and now they will be able to watch him on NESN.

Bill Belichick’s ex-girlfriend, Linda Holliday, is still very much living the lap of luxury despite her split from the 72-year-old free-agent NFL coach.

Holliday, 61, recently moved into Belichick’s newly-purchased $4.8 million house in Nantucket, Mass., more than a year after they parted ways, according to The Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, the former Patriots coach has been preoccupied with striking up a romance with 23-year-old cheerleader Jordon Hudson.



Holliday, who was in a relationship with Belichick for 16 years before the news of their split became public in September 2023, served as the executive director of his foundation while they were together.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue organization in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a dog named Blazer who is looking for his forever home. According to the nonprofit rescue organization, Blazer has had quite a journey. “Blazer was one of 7 dogs ‘saved’ by another rescue down in Texas and when he was just a young puppy. Then, he was abandoned by this ‘rescue’ and left in a boarding kennel for 9 months. He is now a little over a year old, and 55lbs.” Thanks to Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. for stepping in to help Blazer, he is now on the path to finding a family to love him.

A man peacefully sitting with his son in his car in their church parking lot was assaulted by a Denver police officer in June 2019 and will receive a $75,000 settlement. The payoff appears on the Denver City Council agenda for Monday. The item is on the consent calendar.
