Eric Maltais, who pens Croaks, from the Fantasy Frog, gives you his take on most of the players from a fantasy standpoint. Some may differ from what you find in the DobberHockey Fantasy Guide, but it's good to have several viewpoints.

Player	UFA	GP	G	A	PTS	+/-	PIM	PP	SOG	Pct	TOI	PPTOI
D'Agostini, Matt RW MON		53	12	9	21	-17	16	5	116	10.3	13.41	2.05
Had some nice moments, but has limited upside.
Daley, Trevor D DAL		75	7	18	25	2	73	1	104	6.7	21.98	1.36
A 30-point defenseman from now on.
Datsyuk, Pavel C DET		81	32	65	97	34	22	36	248	12.9	19.21	3.39
As reliable as expected, fifth straight season scoring between 27 and 32 goals and fourth straight between 87 and 97 points.
Dawes, Nigel LW PHO		64	10	11	21	-6	15	4	115	8.7	13.26	1.30
He keeps showing flashes of his potential, but that's all they remain and I don't see much improvement next season.
Demitra, Pavol C VAN		69	20	33	53	6	20	16	143	14	17.48	3.56
A pretty much identical season to 2007-08 including in the games played department. Demitra hasn't topped 71 games in the last five seasons.
Doan, Shane RW PHO		82	31	42	73	5	72	25	230	13.5	20.24	3.90
You just know what to expect from Doan, around 30 goals and 75 points.
Dorsett, Derek RW CLB		52	4	1	5	-1	150	0	59	6.8	8.89	0.13
The Blue Jackets don't really need him and Boll.
Doughty, Drew D LA		81	6	21	27	-17	56	16	126	4.8	23.83	3.62
He'll be a very good one. I expect he'll reach 40 points next season and work his way up from there.
Draper, Kris C DET		79	7	10	17	-13	40	0	93	7.5	12.00	0.09
The Wings don't ask him to score.
Drury, Chris C NYR		81	22	34	56	-8	32	20	219	10	20.25	3.54
Almost a duplicate of last year's numbers.
Dubinsky, Brandon C NYR		82	13	28	41	-6	112	8	188	6.9	16.63	2.25
Didn't improve upon last season despite scoring 12 points in October.
Dumont, J.P. RW NSH		82	16	49	65	1	20	22	176	9.1	17.50	3.52
This year is more in line with what we should expect from Dumont than last year, although he should get back to scoring 20 goals.
Dupuis, Pascal RW PIT		71	12	16	28	1	30	0	145	8.3	14.22	0.10
We won't see Dupuis on the top two lines again and we won't see 30 points from him either.
Dvorak, Radek RW FLA	X	81	15	21	36	0	42	0	136	11	16.44	0.50
Never achieved his potential. Now you can't expect more than 40 points.
