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
Nash, Rick LW CLB		78	40	39	79	11	52	19	263	15.2	21.16	3.64
Didn’t expect him to score 40 this year, but he did it. Next year he’ll challenge for 50 as Columbus continues to improve will be very strong by the end of next season.
Naslund, Markus LW NYR		82	24	22	46	-10	57	14	215	11.2	17.18	3.27
In decline for the fifth straight season, he has now retired.
Neal, James LW DAL		77	24	13	37	-11	51	10	171	14	15.87	2.20
Neal will have a nice career as a 30-goal scorer who’ll never put up that many points.
Neil, Chris RW OTT	X	60	3	7	10	-13	146	0	59	5.1	10.96	0.94
His continued decline in production now makes him valuable for the PIMs only.
Niedermayer, Rob RW ANA	X	79	14	7	21	-17	42	1	88	15.9	15.58	0.09
Actually his best season in three years.
Niedermayer, Scott D ANA	X	82	14	45	59	-8	70	32	178	7.9	26.92	4.00
I’m betting he retires for good.
Nielsen, Frans C NYI		59	9	24	33	-4	18	16	101	8.9	16.54	3.28
Showed enough to earn a regular spot, but his potential doesn’t exceed the 45-50 point range.
Nilsson, Robert C EDM		64	9	20	29	1	26	11	77	11.7	15.19	2.48
The Oilers have too many similar players for him to make an impact.
Niskanen, Matt D DAL		80	6	29	35	-11	52	10	111	5.4	19.96	2.55
With Zubov out, I would have expected a little more from Niskanen. However, after only 2 points in the first 20 games, he did pretty well and I expect he’ll get close to 40 points next year and might even surpass it.
Nokelainen, Petteri C ANA		50	4	5	9	2	16	0	56	7.1	11.28	0.11
This former first round pick’s career is going nowhere fast.
Nolan, Owen RW MIN		59	25	20	45	5	26	17	148	16.9	16.39	3.15
Looks like he found the fountain of youth. Has been amazing, just don’t expect a repeat.
Numminen, Teppo D BUF	X	57	2	15	17	-4	22	6	34	5.9	17.50	1.91
Expect retirement.
Nylander, Michael C WAS		72	9	24	33	0	32	10	87	10.3	14.04	2.22
Nylander was horrible and was an healthy scratch on several occasions. He can bounce back, but not in Washington and he’ll be 37 at the start of next season so don’t expect a huge rebound.
