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 |
Gaborik, Marian RW MIN | X | 17 | 13 | 10 | 23 | 3 | 2 | 7 | 68 | 19.1 | 19.99 | 3.14 |
When do you gamble on him in your fantasy draft? I’d say fourth round. | ||||||||||||
Gagne, Simon LW PHI | 79 | 34 | 40 | 74 | 21 | 42 | 25 | 221 | 15.4 | 19.02 | 3.26 | |
Proving he can stay healthy, but it’ll be a big gamble to expect him to do it two seasons in a row. | ||||||||||||
Gagner, Sam C EDM | 76 | 16 | 25 | 41 | -1 | 51 | 11 | 156 | 10.3 | 16.76 | 3.06 | |
Scored 21 points in the final 20 games. I can’t explain his previous struggles, but he will top 70 points next season. | ||||||||||||
Gaustad, Paul C BUF | 62 | 12 | 17 | 29 | 4 | 108 | 8 | 122 | 9.8 | 16.11 | 1.98 | |
Yeah he was injured, but he didn’t progress as expected. | ||||||||||||
Gerbe, Nathan C BUF | 10 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 24 | 0 | 13.61 | 2.00 | |
Will get a better shot next season. | ||||||||||||
Gervais, Bruno D NYI | 69 | 3 | 16 | 19 | -15 | 33 | 3 | 82 | 3.7 | 21.60 | 1.20 | |
Has 30-point upside. | ||||||||||||
Getzlaf, Ryan C ANA | 81 | 25 | 66 | 91 | 5 | 121 | 37 | 227 | 11 | 20.13 | 3.98 | |
Has improved each of the past 4 seasons, should reach his peak next year, which would bring him close to the 100-point mark. His penalty minutes make him that much more valuable. | ||||||||||||
Gilbert, Tom D EDM | 82 | 5 | 40 | 45 | 6 | 26 | 16 | 107 | 4.7 | 21.99 | 2.93 | |
He did it very quietly, but Gilbert can now be counted on for 40 points a season and it would be even more if Souray and Visnovsky weren’t around. | ||||||||||||
Gionta, Brian RW NJ | X | 81 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 12 | 32 | 11 | 248 | 8.1 | 16.97 | 2.42 |
His power play goals the last four years: 24, 11, 8, 3. He ain’t getting better. | ||||||||||||
Giordano, Mark D CGY | 58 | 2 | 17 | 19 | 2 | 59 | 6 | 82 | 2.4 | 16.21 | 2.81 | |
Shows nice potential, should surpass the 30-point mark next season. | ||||||||||||
Girardi, Daniel D NYR | 82 | 4 | 18 | 22 | -14 | 53 | 7 | 122 | 3.3 | 21.53 | 2.30 | |
Showed a lot of promise last year, then started the season on fire with 14 points in the first 19 games, but a 36-game pointless streak showed why we shouldn’t count on Girardi. | ||||||||||||
Giroux, Claude RW PHI | 42 | 9 | 18 | 27 | 10 | 14 | 6 | 67 | 13.4 | 15.16 | 1.45 | |
This guy is going to be a star and I won’t be surprised if he makes a run at 30 goals next year. | ||||||||||||
Gleason, Tim D CAR | 70 | 0 | 12 | 12 | 3 | 68 | 1 | 61 | 0 | 20.65 | 0.37 | |
At best he’ll get you 20 points. | ||||||||||||
Glencross, Curtis LW CGY | 74 | 13 | 27 | 40 | 14 | 42 | 5 | 152 | 8.6 | 14.66 | 0.73 | |
Glencross had two 19-game hot streaks, one during which he scored 18 points, the other 16. He’s finally found a team where he fits after four teams in three years. Just don’t expect him to do much better. | ||||||||||||
Godard, Eric RW PIT | 71 | 2 | 2 | 4 | -3 | 171 | 0 | 20 | 10 | 4.07 | 0.01 | |
Two straight years with 171 penalty minutes. | ||||||||||||
Goligoski, Alex D PIT | 45 | 6 | 14 | 20 | 5 | 16 | 8 | 61 | 9.8 | 18.31 | 4.00 | |
He’s not strong enough on defense to see huge minutes, but he’ll see plenty of power play time even with Gonchar and Letang around and with a full season should challenge the 40-point mark. | ||||||||||||
Gomez, Scott C NYR | 77 | 16 | 42 | 58 | -2 | 60 | 17 | 271 | 5.9 | 21.06 | 3.91 | |
Once again scored very few goals despite career high shots on goal. Lowest point total in five seasons. Expect a little better next year, say 60 to 65 points. | ||||||||||||
Gonchar, Sergei D PIT | 25 | 6 | 13 | 19 | 6 | 26 | 13 | 71 | 8.5 | 25.19 | 6.25 | |
Still a 60-point defenseman. | ||||||||||||
Gordon, Boyd RW WAS | 63 | 5 | 9 | 14 | -4 | 16 | 0 | 69 | 7.2 | 13.46 | 0.07 | |
Will never develop into anything more. | ||||||||||||
Gorges, Josh D MON | 81 | 4 | 19 | 23 | 12 | 37 | 5 | 63 | 6.3 | 20.13 | 1.17 | |
Should be a 20 to 30 point blueliner for the near future. | ||||||||||||
Grabovski, Mikhail LW TOR | 78 | 20 | 28 | 48 | -8 | 92 | 15 | 120 | 16.7 | 16.22 | 2.22 | |
Can be electrifying. He should break 60 points next season. | ||||||||||||
Grebeshkov, Denis D EDM | 72 | 7 | 32 | 39 | 12 | 38 | 13 | 62 | 11.3 | 21.18 | 2.76 | |
It took him awhile to develop, but the potential was always there. Benefitted from Visnovsky’s absence with a lot more ice time so it remains to be seen how he’ll be used if the team keeps it’s 4 outstanding offensive blueliners next season. | ||||||||||||
Green, Mike D WAS | 68 | 31 | 42 | 73 | 24 | 68 | 38 | 243 | 12.8 | 25.77 | 5.38 | |
Over a point-per-game, he’s amazing and still improving. I’d make him the 4th overall pick next season were it not for his health issues. | ||||||||||||
Greene, Matt D LA | 82 | 2 | 12 | 14 | 1 | 111 | 1 | 76 | 2.6 | 19.74 | 0.15 | |
Will never be asked to score, but can add value in deep leagues for his penalty minutes. | ||||||||||||
Grier, Mike RW SJ | X | 62 | 10 | 13 | 23 | 8 | 25 | 0 | 108 | 9.3 | 15.01 | 0.27 |
The Sharks have enough scorers, they just need Grier to keep the opponent from scoring. | ||||||||||||
Guerin, Bill RW PIT | X | 78 | 21 | 27 | 48 | -12 | 81 | 18 | 226 | 9.3 | 16.66 | 3.91 |
I don’t doubt for a moment that he can duplicate those numbers next year. |
