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
Yandle, Keith D PHO		69	4	26	30	-4	37	13	118	3.4	16.61	2.75
Nice sleeper if you're looking for a 35-point blueliner.
Yelle, Stephane C BOS		77	7	11	18	6	32	1	72	9.7	13.27	0.16
Career fourth liner who never surpassed the 27 points he scored as a rookie in 1995-96.
Zajac, Travis C NJ		82	20	42	62	33	29	15	185	10.8	18.65	3.27
Nice breakout season, cautiously expect 70 points next season.
Zednik, Richard LW FLA	X	70	17	16	33	2	46	4	153	11.1	15.58	2.19
Signed to play in the KHL
Zetterberg, Henrik LW DET		77	31	42	73	13	36	30	309	10	19.88	3.48
It might look strange to call a point-per-game player a disappointment, but expectations were much higher. Expect him back in the top 10 next season.
Zherdev, Nikolai RW NYR		82	23	35	58	6	39	11	219	10.5	16.83	3.00
Disappointing season for Zherdev, he won't reach another level unless he performs better on the power play. Good news is he can't do worse and still has 30-goal upside.
Zidlicky, Marek D MIN		76	12	30	42	-12	76	25	147	8.2	22.11	3.60
Fourth excellent season over five years, you can count on him.
Zubov, Ilya C OTT		10	0	2	2	-1	0	1	11	0	10.28	1.86
A good playmaker who should have a regular spot next season.
Zubov, Sergei D DAL	X	10	0	4	4	-4	0	3	15	0	24.29	4.93
You have to wonder if he'll be able to come back at age 39.
Zubrus, Dainius LW NJ		82	15	25	40	6	69	11	130	11.5	15.27	2.08
His season was pretty much identical to last year so you know what to expect in 2009-10.
