Who are your top three disappointing players for the 2009-2010 season so far?
Devin Setoguchi – After a 31-goal, 65-point sophomore season, Setoguchi looked to be on the verge of big things alongside Joe Thornton. Unfortunately for Setoguchi, the Dany Heatley trade happened and the Patrick Marleau trade didn’t, meaning that his time on the first line was up. Seto should at least reach the 20-goal mark this season, but scoring just 20 points in 41 games has meant that many fantasy owners have gone in another direction for scoring help this season.
Dion Phaneuf – Phaneuf has performed better than Setoguchi this season, but just barely. As the Flames continue to freefall in the standings, so does Phaneuf’s fantasy value. Once considered an elite defenseman, Phaneuf is barely worth a roster spot with 21 points in 53 games. Dishonorable mention to Phaneuf’s teammate Jay Bouwmeester, who has a paltry two goals this season.
Steve Mason – After being one of fantasy hockey’s top goalies in his Calder Trophy season, Mason has provided further proof that there is such a thing as a sophomore slump. Mason’s goals-against average is a full goal higher than last season (3.28 from 2.29), and he won’t come anywhere close to his 33 wins from last season. The Blue Jackets decided to focus on a more offensive-minded approach this season, but the move aimed at taking a step ahead has resulted in the team taking two steps back, killing Mason’s numbers in the process.

Is it time to drop Mason? I have Bryzgalov & Halak as my other G and not much available on the wire.
I’d say pick and choose your matchups with Mason if there isn’t much else out there. If all three goalies are playing, definitely put in Bryz and Halak and bench Mason.
