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 |
| Hagman, Niklas RW TOR | 65 | 22 | 20 | 42 | -5 | 4 | 13 | 168 | 13.1 | 17.09 | 2.35 | |
| Surpassed last year’s 41 points despite missing 17 games. I’m thinking he could actually score 30 goals. | ||||||||||||
| Hainsey, Ron D ATL | 81 | 6 | 33 | 39 | -16 | 32 | 18 | 148 | 4.1 | 22.37 | 3.72 | |
| Similar numbers for three season now, count on him for 35 to 40 points. | ||||||||||||
| Halpern, Jeff C TB | 52 | 7 | 9 | 16 | -13 | 32 | 4 | 60 | 11.7 | 17.02 | 2.15 | |
| Came back from a serious knee injury and was his usual low scoring self. | ||||||||||||
| Hamhuis, Dan D NSH | 82 | 3 | 23 | 26 | -4 | 67 | 6 | 135 | 2.2 | 22.84 | 1.41 | |
| Fourth season in five years with 20 to 27 points. | ||||||||||||
| Hamrlik, Roman D MON | 81 | 6 | 27 | 33 | 5 | 62 | 3 | 143 | 4.2 | 21.91 | 1.55 | |
| Without much power play time, his production is limited. | ||||||||||||
| Handzus, Michal C LA | 82 | 18 | 24 | 42 | -7 | 32 | 16 | 143 | 12.6 | 18.90 | 3.20 | |
| Salvaged a dreadful season with a solid month of March. His ceiling is 50 points. | ||||||||||||
| Hansen, Jannik RW VAN | 55 | 6 | 15 | 21 | 5 | 37 | 0 | 64 | 9.4 | 12.52 | 0.08 | |
| He’ll never be a great scorer, but could work his way up to 40 points eventually. | ||||||||||||
| Hanzal, Martin C PHO | 74 | 11 | 20 | 31 | -4 | 40 | 2 | 97 | 11.3 | 16.36 | 0.81 | |
| Much like Mueller, didn’t have a very good sophomore season. He doesn’t have Mueller’s upside, but should also be much better next season. | ||||||||||||
| Harrold, Peter D LA | 69 | 4 | 8 | 12 | -13 | 28 | 5 | 95 | 4.2 | 13.18 | 2.37 | |
| Harrold was expected to do what Quincey achieved. | ||||||||||||
| Hartnell, Scott LW PHI | 82 | 30 | 30 | 60 | 14 | 143 | 13 | 210 | 14.3 | 17.81 | 2.37 | |
| This is the kind of season we’ve been expecting for a while from Hartnell. It looks like he finally has arrived. | ||||||||||||
| Havelid, Niclas D NJ | X | 78 | 2 | 17 | 19 | 2 | 48 | 5 | 56 | 3.6 | 20.43 | 0.67 |
| Gone are his 30-point days. | ||||||||||||
| Havlat, Martin LW CHI | X | 81 | 29 | 48 | 77 | 29 | 30 | 14 | 249 | 11.6 | 17.39 | 3.15 |
| Reached career high in games played. Doubtful he’ll reach 70 games next season. | ||||||||||||
| Heatley, Dany RW OTT | 82 | 39 | 33 | 72 | -11 | 88 | 26 | 258 | 15.1 | 20.11 | 4.09 | |
| Last year was considered an off year, let’s consider it the lowest level production you can expect from Heatley. | ||||||||||||
| Hecht, Jochen LW BUF | 70 | 12 | 15 | 27 | -9 | 33 | 5 | 173 | 6.9 | 17.39 | 1.17 | |
| Another huge disappointment in Buffalo despite the low expectations. Don’t expect more than 40 points from Hecht next year. | ||||||||||||
| Hedman, Victor D TB? | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00 | |
| He’ll go to Tampa Bay if the Isles take Tavares. Often compared to Pronger and like him, Hedman could take 4 or 5 years to develop into an offensive force. | ||||||||||||
| Hejda, Jan D CLB | 82 | 3 | 18 | 21 | 23 | 38 | 0 | 66 | 4.5 | 22.38 | 0.22 | |
| His job is to prevent the opponents from scoring and he does it very well. | ||||||||||||
| Hejduk, Milan RW COL | 82 | 27 | 32 | 59 | -19 | 16 | 19 | 211 | 12.8 | 19.93 | 3.84 | |
| Inconsistent throughout his career, he is settling into a 25-30 goal scorer. | ||||||||||||
| Hemsky, Ales RW EDM | 72 | 23 | 43 | 66 | 1 | 32 | 31 | 185 | 12.4 | 18.65 | 4.26 | |
| He has the talent to ascend to another level, 90 points, but needs a star player at his side to do it. | ||||||||||||
| Hensick, T.J. C COL | 61 | 4 | 17 | 21 | -7 | 14 | 6 | 116 | 3.4 | 12.90 | 2.24 | |
| Doesn’t look like he’ll be fantasy worthy for a couple more years. | ||||||||||||
| Higgins, Christopher C MON | 57 | 12 | 11 | 23 | -1 | 22 | 4 | 151 | 7.9 | 17.00 | 2.14 | |
| A season to forget for Higgins who’ll get back to the 25-goal range next season. | ||||||||||||
| Hilbert, Andy C NYI | X | 67 | 11 | 16 | 27 | -3 | 22 | 4 | 167 | 6.6 | 16.15 | 1.02 |
| A good checking line player who’ll be happy to reach 30 points. | ||||||||||||
| Holmstrom, Tomas LW DET | 53 | 14 | 23 | 37 | 18 | 38 | 12 | 75 | 18.7 | 15.27 | 3.29 | |
| Second straight injury filled season, only worth a flyer as a late round pick. | ||||||||||||
| Horcoff, Shawn C EDM | 80 | 17 | 36 | 53 | 7 | 39 | 21 | 178 | 9.6 | 21.36 | 3.76 | |
| After scoring 50 points in 53 games last year, it was expected he would get back to the 70-point range he achieved 3 years ago. He’s just too inconsistent to be drafted as anything more than a 50-point guy. | ||||||||||||
| Horton, Nathan C FLA | 67 | 22 | 23 | 45 | -5 | 48 | 14 | 131 | 16.8 | 17.84 | 3.52 | |
| Once thought he’d score 35 to 40 goals on a regular basis. Now, I barely see him hitting 30 the next couple of years unless Frolik improves real fast. Suffered a huge drop in SOG this season. | ||||||||||||
| Hossa, Marian RW DET | X | 74 | 40 | 31 | 71 | 27 | 63 | 23 | 307 | 13 | 17.80 | 3.06 |
| Whether he re-signs with the Wings or goes elsewhere, he’ll keep on producing. Odds are the Wings can’t re-sign him now that they’ve given Franzen a big contract. | ||||||||||||
| Hudler, Jiri C DET | 82 | 23 | 34 | 57 | 7 | 16 | 28 | 155 | 14.8 | 13.65 | 3.02 | |
| Lowest average ice time amongst top 180 scorers. He still has room for improvement with a larger role on a new team. | ||||||||||||
| Hunter, Trent RW NYI | 55 | 14 | 17 | 31 | -8 | 41 | 10 | 154 | 9.1 | 16.38 | 3.51 | |
| With the team improving Hunter has a shot at repeating his 25-goal, 51-point rookie season in 2009-10. | ||||||||||||
| Hunwick, Matt D BOS | 53 | 6 | 21 | 27 | 15 | 31 | 8 | 58 | 10.3 | 16.98 | 1.55 | |
| He’s not as good as his points-per-game suggest. | ||||||||||||
| Huselius, Kristian LW CLB | 74 | 21 | 35 | 56 | 1 | 44 | 14 | 212 | 9.9 | 19.52 | 3.91 | |
| I’m not a Huselius fan, he’s too inconsistent so I’m not surprised by this kind of production and will never expect more from him. | ||||||||||||
