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.

| Umberger, R.J. C CLB | 82 | 26 | 20 | 46 | -10 | 53 | 11 | 234 | 11.1 | 18.77 | 2.90 | |
| Shame on you if you thought last year’s playoff performance would translate to this season. He’s simply a 50-point player. | ||||||||||||
| Upshall, Scottie RW PHO | 74 | 15 | 19 | 34 | 7 | 89 | 7 | 192 | 7.8 | 14.59 | 1.29 | |
| Scored more goals in 19 games with the Coyotes than in 55 with the Flyers. We’ll see him score 20 goals and 40 points for the first time in 2009-10. | ||||||||||||
| Valabik, Boris D ATL | 50 | 0 | 5 | 5 | -14 | 132 | 0 | 16 | 0 | 15.26 | 0.05 | |
| The only defenseman other than O’Brien who could surpass 200 penalty minutes. | ||||||||||||
| Van Ryn, Mike D TOR | 27 | 3 | 8 | 11 | 2 | 14 | 4 | 53 | 5.7 | 19.62 | 2.37 | |
| The guy just can’t stay healthy. | ||||||||||||
| Vandermeer, Jim D CGY | 45 | 1 | 6 | 7 | 1 | 108 | 0 | 31 | 3.2 | 16.02 | 0.19 | |
| has the potential to put up 20 points and over 120 penalty minutes. | ||||||||||||
| Vanek, Thomas LW BUF | 73 | 40 | 24 | 64 | -1 | 44 | 26 | 211 | 19 | 17.20 | 3.85 | |
| Legitimate 40-goal scorer and there are very few of those. | ||||||||||||
| Veilleux, Stephane C MIN | X | 81 | 13 | 10 | 23 | -17 | 40 | 1 | 146 | 8.9 | 15.80 | 0.40 |
| Nice career as a grinder who set career highs in goals and points. | ||||||||||||
| Vermette, Antoine LW CLB | 79 | 16 | 25 | 41 | -7 | 50 | 12 | 174 | 9.2 | 18.35 | 2.19 | |
| He was awful during the first half, scoring 3 goals in the first 38 games, but has lived up to expectations since and has really found his place in Columbus. Count on him for 60 points next year. | ||||||||||||
| Versteeg, Kris RW CHI | 78 | 22 | 31 | 53 | 15 | 55 | 16 | 139 | 15.8 | 17.03 | 2.45 | |
| Surpassed all expectations by scoring 20 points in the first 19 games of the season. Has excellent AHL numbers in the past so the talent is there, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a small drop in overall production next season. | ||||||||||||
| Visnovsky, Lubomir D EDM | 50 | 8 | 23 | 31 | 6 | 30 | 17 | 86 | 9.3 | 23.01 | 5.03 | |
| Was on pace for 50 points which is what you can expect for a full healthy season, but there’s only a 50% chance of that happening in his case. | ||||||||||||
| Vlasic, Marc-Edouard D SJ | 82 | 6 | 30 | 36 | 15 | 42 | 21 | 104 | 5.8 | 23.90 | 2.94 | |
| As long as the Sharks power play remains this strong, he’ll continue produce at this pace. | ||||||||||||
| Voracek, Jakub RW CLB | 80 | 9 | 29 | 38 | 11 | 44 | 4 | 101 | 8.9 | 12.67 | 2.14 | |
| He’ll steadily improve and start by flirting with 20 goals next season. | ||||||||||||
| Voros, Aaron C NYR | 54 | 8 | 8 | 16 | -9 | 122 | 3 | 66 | 12.1 | 11.18 | 1.58 | |
| Came back to earth after an incredible couple of weeks to start the season. You want him for PIMs and nothing else. | ||||||||||||
