This series is dedicated to the players that you should take note of during your draft that may fall or otherwise offer you great rewards if you select them.
Boston – Marco Sturm (LW) – Last season ended very early for Sturm. Suffering a season ending injury, he only played in 19 contests. An underrated and skilled winger, Sturm may find time on the top line while the Kessel injury / contract is sorted out. In 19 games last year, Sturm scored 13 points. If he can stay healthy he is a true sleeper pick.
FEARLESS FORECAST – 66 GP – 19 – 26 – 45 PTS
Buffalo – Tim Connolly (C) – This gifted player has been bitten by the injury bug and misses large amounts of time that takes away from his fantasy appeal. When healthy, Connolly is one of the most talented players on the ice most nights. He was healthy for a 45 game stretch at the end of last season and had 47 points in 48 games.
FEARLESS FORECAST – 65 GP – 23 G – 45 A – 68 PTS
Montreal – Andrei Kostistyn – Mired in controversy and under-performing last season, Kostistyn wishes he could forget everything that happened. Looking forward with new group of teammates and coach, the flashy Russian is still a top six forward on the Canadiens. With 41 points in 74 games, Kostistyn will undoubtedly surpass last seasons totals.
FEARLESS FORECAST – 76 GP – 27 G – 31 A – 58 PTS
Ottawa – Chris Campoli – With his health issues finally behind him, Campoli was moved from the worst team in the NHL to a team that welcomed the offensive output from the d-man. Campoli tallied 30 points in 76 games and excelled when he was moved to Ottawa. The future for the powerplay quarterback of the Senators is a bright one.
FEARLESS FORECAST – 80 GP – 13 G – 28 A – 41 PTS
Toronto – Ian White (D) – Initially banned to the press box, White was able to earn Ron Wilson’s trust and played in 71 games and tallied 26 points. With Toronto’s movement towards hard hitting and big bodied defensemen, White stands out to be one of their top offensive d-men. He should once again see time on the powerplay and maybe even at wing at times.
