I've been participating in lots of mock drafts preparing for my league's draft next weekend. Now my ranking are based off my league's stats which are different from yahoo standard. My league uses: G,A,P, +/-, PPP, SHP, GWG, Hits, PIMS, and W,SV%, GAA.
All that being said I think the following players are vastly underrated by yahoo:
Martin St. Louis- ranked 47th in yahoo. The guy plays with Stamkos and is as healthy as they come. Easily 75-80 points, I see him being a late 2nd rounder in my league.
Niklas Backstrom- yahoo rank 41. Obviously concussion problems make him a risk but I have him pegged for around 75-80 (assists heavy) points, again late 2nd rounder.
Joe Thornton- yahoo rank 60. Jumbo Joe is as steady as they go, fantasy hockey is regular season people, He'll get another 75 points this year. 3rd round in my league.
Matt Moulson-yahoo rank 81 and average picked 95. No love for this guy? He's got 3- 30 goal seasons, he plays with Tavares.
Antti Niemi- yahoo ranked 161- 27th goalie- seems like he's got a solid team and solid history, should be 5-10 spots higher in my books.
Lupul- yahoo ranked 110. 67 points last year has chemistry with Kessel.
Blake Wheeler- yahoo rank 138- I like his chance of breaking out for even more than the 64 points he had last year.
