MIka Zibanejad is the big one for me. He was performing like a top line center before he got hurt last year, and now that Stepan is gone, he should have a huge season. Zuccarello is always undervalued in fantasy as well. I'd draft Brayden Schenn if the board falls that way. If he plays with Tarasenko, his assist totals should go up and he'll still be lethal on the PP. His +/- might not be too big an issue since St. Louis is better defensively than Philly. Other guys to look at are Clayton Keller, Elias Lindholm, Vadim Shipachyov and Jaccob Slavin.

TJ Oshie is going to go earlier than he should. He was shooting at a way higher percentage and will regress quite a bit and on the same side, Eric Staal probably will not reproduce the same results as last year.
I would take one of Ehlers, Laine or Scheifele just because that is going to be a great line. For goalies, I would stay away from Steve Mason. There is something about goalies under Paul Maurice that they get worse.
Young players to look out for Brayden Point, I think he's going to fly under the radar and get some easier assignments. Tuevo Teravainen is my breakout player this year.
These past few month I have been so busy that I have had such little time to actually look into fantasy, but my league (the beerest of fantasy leagues) doesn't put much research into it.

Agree. Brayden Point for sure is one to watch for a major breakout in the next 2 years.

Ryan Hartman is a huge sleeper. He will be given top-six minutes with the departure of Marian Hossa.

Oh sweet. I picked up Laine last year. Like I said my league is pretty bad so I managed to grab him and Kucherov last year, pretty much carried me to first. I just suck picking goalies

Don't be talking crap about someone elses allegiances because of your bias for your team.

I legitimately hope you feel good with yourself about ruining civil discussions between us. It's immature.
