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
Pacioretty, Max LW MON		34	3	8	11	-3	27	3	57	5.3	12.62	1.45
Should have a regular spot next season, but will take time to develop.
Pahlsson, Samuel C CHI	X	65	7	11	18	-17	34	3	88	8	18.29	0.96
Only has value in very deep leagues for his faceoff prowess.
Paille, Daniel LW BUF		73	12	15	27	0	20	0	80	15	11.90	0.08
A little firecracker with limited potential.
Parise, Zach C NJ		82	45	49	94	30	24	30	364	12.4	18.76	3.69
Beautiful player to watch, would score 50 with most other teams.
Park, Richard RW NYI		71	14	17	31	-13	34	7	138	10.1	17.17	1.63
Half his production came in one month (from mid-December to mid-January). A lot more valuable in the NHL than in fantasy.
Parrish, Mark RW DAL	X	44	8	5	13	-3	18	5	46	17.4	11.27	1.89
Will have trouble finding a roster spot in the NHL next season.
Parros, George RW ANA		74	5	5	10	8	135	0	47	10.6	6.26	0.05
Disappointing PIM numbers for Parros.
Pavelski, Joe C SJ		80	25	34	59	5	46	23	266	9.4	18.96	3.03
Establishing himself as a 60-point player.
Peca, Michael C CLB	X	71	4	18	22	-6	58	1	74	5.4	14.10	0.89
Keeps sinking into oblivion.
Peltonen, Ville LW FLA	X	79	12	19	31	6	31	1	121	9.9	15.25	0.46
Nothing more than a 30-point player.
Penner, Dustin RW EDM		78	17	20	37	7	61	11	137	12.4	15.36	2.96
Very, very inconsistent, had 10 multi-point games despite his low overall total. His ice time has suffered a huge drop if it wasn’t for his huge contract I would have expected him to be traded.
Perrin, Eric C ATL	X	78	7	16	23	-2	36	2	109	6.4	14.18	0.83
A very disappointing season since there was hope for 50 points from him.
Perron, David LW STL		81	15	35	50	13	50	15	161	9.3	14.53	3.22
Always a good sign when you progress nicely in your sophomore season. He’ll continue improving next year and top 60 points.
Perry, Corey RW ANA		78	32	40	72	10	109	24	283	11.3	18.60	3.45
Following pretty much the exact same career curve as Getzlaf.
Pesonen, Janne LW PIT	X	7	0	0	0	-3	0	0	3	0	7.45	0.36
Had an excellent season in the AHL and will get a shot at making the team in camp. Could do very well if matched with Malkin.
Petersen, Toby RW DAL		57	4	7	11	1	14	0	80	5	11.42	0.18
See Steve Begin
Pettinger, Matt LW TB	X	59	8	7	15	-14	24	2	82	9.8	12.32	0.42
He doesn’t really belong in the NHL anymore.
Peverley, Rich C ATL		66	15	29	44	13	33	7	117	12.8	16.08	2.26
This hot waiver wire pickup scored 35 points in 39 games with the Thrashers, but don’t expect that kind of production next season. I’ll be surprised if he exceeds 50 points.
Phaneuf, Dion D CGY		80	11	36	47	-11	100	21	277	4	26.53	5.57
Really expected more from Phaneuf following three seasons of at least 17 goals and his 60 points last year. His power play production hasn’t been up to par, expect a big rebound next season.
Phillips, Chris D OTT		82	6	16	22	-14	66	3	88	6.8	21.87	0.61
His career high is 26 points.
Picard, Alexandre D OTT		47	6	8	14	-2	8	10	72	8.3	18.90	3.44
Saw way too much power play and didn’t do enough with it. Won’t have such a major role next season.
Pisani, Fernando RW EDM		38	7	8	15	-1	14	0	72	9.7	15.28	0.29
Not worth much even when he is healthy other than the few hot streaks he’s had over his career.
Pitkanen, Joni D CAR		71	7	26	33	11	58	14	147	4.8	24.80	4.04
Typical of what you should expect from Pitkanen for the next few years.
Plekanec, Tomas LW MON		80	20	19	39	-9	54	12	202	9.9	17.26	3.01
Huge drop after scoring 69 points last season which was achieved in great part thanks to Kovalev and A.Kostitsyn. Can rebound, but will need a top winger to do so.
Plihal, Tomas C SJ		64	5	8	13	-4	22	0	79	6.3	10.15	0.16
Never did well in the AHL and won’t do better in the NHL.
Polak, Roman D STL		69	1	14	15	-15	45	5	73	1.4	21.52	2.01
Will most probably never break the 20-point barrier.
Pominville, Jason RW BUF		82	20	46	66	-4	18	24	239	8.4	19.75	3.98
A huge bust following a season of 80 points. Should bounce back to at least 25 goals next season.
Ponikarovsky, Alexei LW TOR		82	23	38	61	6	38	13	185	12.4	15.78	2.15
Excellent season and I think he’ll repeat next year as Grabovski and Kulemin get better.
Poti, Tom D WAS		52	3	10	13	3	28	2	48	6.2	21.19	1.46
His days as a contributor on offense are behind him.
Pouliot, Benoit LW MIN		37	5	6	11	1	18	4	34	14.7	11.84	2.04
Not looking like a fourth overall draft pick at all.
Pouliot, Marc-Antoine C EDM		63	8	12	20	1	23	2	94	8.5	11.51	1.01
Having a hard time establishing himself, he needs to go elsewhere to take a step forward.
Preissing, Tom D LA		22	3	4	7	-7	6	5	40	7.5	16.75	3.88
Needs to start over somewhere else.
Pronger, Chris D ANA		82	11	37	48	0	88	28	196	5.6	26.94	4.45
Whether the Ducks keep him or not, he still has a few more good seasons in him.
Prospal, Vaclav LW TB		82	19	26	45	-20	52	15	194	9.8	17.67	3.29
If you don’t know the trend, here is Prospal’s point production over the last seven seasons; 55,79,54,80,55,71,45. The trend would indicate a big year in 2009-10, but I’m not buying into it.
Prucha, Petr C PHO		47	6	13	19	-1	22	5	67	9	14.69	1.81
While he was decent in Phoenix, I really don’t think he can reach 40 points next season.
Prust, Brandon C PHO		36	1	2	3	-8	108	0	23	4.3	7.46	0.12
If he plays 60 games he’ll be in the 200 penalty minute range.
Purcell, Teddy RW LA		40	4	12	16	-4	4	10	68	5.9	13.52	2.80
I’m not convinced he’ll spend the entire season in the NHL either next year.
Pyatt, Taylor LW VAN	X	69	10	9	19	0	43	1	99	10.1	14.71	0.90
More has been expected of him in his career, probably just a 40-point guy at best.
