From Spectors DANDENAULT'S JOB IN JEOPARDY? CANADIAN PRESS: reported Montreal Canadiens defenceman Mathieu Dandenault's position as a regular member of the team's blueline corps could be in jeopardy. Head coach Guy Carbonneau recently listed Dandenault with blueline prospects Josh Gorges, Ryan O'Byrne, Jamie Rivers and Jean-Phillipe Cote. Carbonneau intends to carry eight defencemen, of which Roman Hamrlik, Andrei Markov, Mike Komisarek, Francis Bouillon, Patrice Brisebrois and utility player Mark Streit are expected to be regulars. Spector's Note: For all the dismissive talk of the Canadiens blueline depth the club does possess a couple of promising kids who could crack the lineup this season, which could make Dandenault expendable.

Just thought I would pass this on it seams pretty acurate. http://www.nhlnumbers.com/index.html

I knw everyone would like the big names out there bu for the same price as one big name we could get antoher winger and d-man Nick Boynton 1.5 - 2 mil Assets Plays a physical game and loves a heavy workload. Is extremely reliable in the defensive zone. Is a very smooth skater and excellent puck-handler. Possesses a hard, accurate shot from the point. Flaws May not put up the points expected of him at the NHL level, unless he starts hitting the net with his shots more frequently. Career potential No. 1 defenseman. Nagy 1.5 - 2mil Assets Has great imagination with the puck and the hands to score plenty of goals. Shoots the puck from anywhere on the ice and owns a bit of a mean streak. Flaws Needs to add even more strength in order to thrive against NHL defenders. Takes foolish penalties on occasion, and a few too many nights off. Career potential Top six winger Michel Ouellet 2 - 2.5mil Assets Has the potential to score plenty of goals in the NHL. Displays excellent hockey sense and awareness at both ends of the ice. Flaws Isn't big or overly physical, and can be dominated along the boards. Career potential Top six winger. Vitaly Vishnevski -2 - 2.5mil Assets Is a physical presence, and can do some damage to onrushing forwards in open ice. Blocks shots very effectively. Flaws Tends to wear down over the course of a long season. Doesn't have a lot of offensive upside. Makes mistakes in his own end. Career potential Top four defenseman.
