Welcome once again to “An Expert’s Audit”. This audit will also be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . During the season I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you’re interested in having your keeper team “worked over” then you can begin by emailing Dobber about it.
For your listening pleasure - put it on your Ipod or just listen in on your computer. Let's talk some hockey! Hosts Justin Goldman, Evan Tramontano, and Brenden Thomas chat with Dobber about the recent free agent frenzy. You can download the file in our Dobber Nation page.

There always has been (and always will be) an ongoing debate about who is the best player in the league. Gretzky and Lemieux battled over the title for a long time, and after them it was the likes of Jagr, Sakic, Forsberg, and Fedorov. Lately it has included Iginla, Thornton and Lecavalier, but the future is really about three players. Crosby, Ovechkin, and Malkin. This article is about my take on the battle for NHL supremacy.

The History
Once upon a time, Andrew Raycroft was chosen over Vesa Toskala to start against the Ottawa Senators on Opening Night, thanks to a weak decision by Paul Maurice. Things didn’t go as planned, the Leafs were shut out 4-0 at home and the season’s dismal start was etched in history forever.
Just two measly wins all year long and no hope for a better tomorrow, Raycroft was left to wallow in his many blunders. That was until Toronto bought him out and along came Colorado, licking their chops and feasting their eyes on Raycroft, ready to do what they do best – give goalies another chance. As it was with Patrick Roy and Jose Theodore, is now with Raycroft, and ever shall be, forever and ever.
Beaucoup d’argent a été accordé aux joueurs dans la dernière semaine, et il reste une bonne liste de joueurs qui demeurent sans contrat. Malheureusement pour les poolers, les restants sont minces en termes de joueurs qui pourraient prendre de la valeur s’ils signent avec la bonne équipe.

A lot of money has been committed to players over the last week, but there is still a rather lengthy list of players still unsigned. Unfortunately for poolies, the pickings are rather slim in terms of players who could suddenly shoot up in value if they sign with the right team. Here are some quick one-offs on what to expect from the players still on the market…
The Lightning ships Dan Boyle and Brad Lukowich to the Sharks for Matt Carle, Ty Wishart, a first in 2009 and a fourth in 2010.
Vancouver has acquired forward Steve Bernier from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a second round draft pick in 2010 and a third round pick in 2009.
