Taken from Dohbiggens column in the Herald today.


54 Andrew Cassels - is a bum, expect his OV to go down to 65 next year and if he has any pride he'll quit hockey.

45 Joe Nieuwendyk - NHL Niewy was good, and has one more year left on his NHL contract. Still a viable CPHL player

53 Wes Walz - If Axel had half a brain left he'd keep Walz. Walz is the Flames version of youth.

51 Steve Yzerman - He can still play, but no where near the level he used to. Hang em up before you suffer another serious injury!

21 Alyn Mccauley - Okay, this player is okay.

92 Jeff O'Neill - Another useless real life player. Expect his OV to plummet big time.

25 Richard Zednik - Very over rated player. Real life guy has tools but no tool box.

22 Eric Boguniecki - Yeah, he sucks

55 Wyatt Smith - He does have a cool name

27 Greg Johnson - Johnson is a decent two way forward. Wouldn't be the worst thing to keep him around

60 Jean-Pierre Vigier - Pretty much a nobody.

24 Teemu Selanne - Still has something to give, but is damn expensive.

30 Glen Murray - Another over rated CPHL player who is nothing without Joe Thornton. Expect his OV to plummet like the Mercury in Inuvik in January.

59 Dave Andreychuk- What another geezer?

43 Rob Dimaio - I guess he can be a spare part or AHL guy

40 Jiri Slegr - who cares, defenceman who would be out of the league if not for his exotic Euro name

48 Kimmo Timonen - Next to Kipper the Flames best player.

58 Adam Foote - Rates as either the 2nd or 3rd best potential UFA defenceman. Agents should put this guy on the open maket he'll get paid. You hear me Rich, you can make enough commission to buy me free golf for life.

42 Mathieu Schneider - Still a pretty effective veteran player

10 Andreas Lilja- Likes looking at Kristian Huselius' ass. Big and slow in real life but pretty cheap.

7 Greg DeVries - He'll probably be in the top 4 next year unless the team coughs up big money to keep Foote.

69 Nathan Dempsey - Decent spare part defenceman.

62 Yannick Tremblay - This guy's NHL days are done, and I'd expect his CPHL rating to drop big time. He never mertited a rating abouve 60 in the first place he's always sucked.]

50 Miikka Kiprusoff - Yeah, this guy is possibly the top goalie in hockey right now. I'm surprised Axel never traded him because he was too young.

47 Brian Boucher - This guy is a serious seive as was proven in the NHL last year. He'll either bounce back somewhere in the NHL with a good camp, or he'll be tending net for the Belfast Giants in 7 months.
