Fantasy Analysis

The 29-year-old Cole had 22 goals and 29 assists in his seventh season with the Hurricanes and helped lead them to the Stanley Cup title against the Oilers two years ago, becoming one of the team's most popular players after he returned from a broken neck to skate in Game 6 of the finals. But he was deemed expendable as he enters the final year of a contract that will pay him $4 million next season. Cole is certainly worth drafting in the middle of most drafts as a low-end starting Fantasy forward. The 24-year-old Pitkanen had eight goals and 18 assists in his only season with Edmonton, ranking second among the team's defensemen in scoring after he was picked up in a trade last summer with the Flyers - who selected him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2002 draft. He is a restricted free agent who made $2.4 million in 2007-08, and Rutherford said preliminary negotiations are under way. Fantasy-wise, Pitkanen is a No. 3 or No. 4 Fantasy defenseman worth drafting in the mid-to-late rounds.
