Fantasy Analysis
Anton Babchuk had a very disappointing season, but finished on a strong note, with five points in his final nine games. It remains to be seen how large his role will be in Calgary next season, but he certainly made a case for being in the top six defensemen. (Updated 04/08/2012).

Jarome Iginla scored the winner in the second period, giving him a goal in six straight games, and the Calgary Flames beat the Phoenix Coyotes 4-1 on Thursday.
Babchuk is starting to show the form that caught the eyes of the Chicago Blackhawks, who drafted the 6-foot-5 defenseman 21st overall in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. After spending time with Omsk Avangard in Russia's KHL league (2008-09), Babchuk returned to the states and delivered 27 points (8 G, 19 A) in 65 games last season. As a big playmaking blueliner with 50-point potential, Flames GM Jay Feaster did the organization a favor by re-signing Babchuk at only $2.5 million per year this summer. He makes for a serviceable fantasy option in most formats.
