Any Future fantasy value for these kids?

[Kessel50]

Any of these guys got any fantasy potential? If so who, and any projections?

Any outright garbage on this list?


Kujawinski, Ryan
Locke, Eric
Bailey, Justin
Fasching, Hudson
De Jong, Nolan
Shore, Devin
Sundstrom, Johan
Hudon, Charles
Lessio, Lucas
Lucia, Mario
Thomas, Christian
Holland, Patrick
Stransky, Matej
Fournier, Dillon
Kichton, Brenden
Mayfield, Scott
Musil, David D
Sustr, Andrej

[Ed.]

Depends on your definition of fantasy value I suppose. Mayfield and Musil are probably only going to be hold relevance in leagues that count hits, blocks and PIMs, perhaps +/- in the years that they play for good teams. Sustr may be in a similar boat, but maybe he has a little more offense.

I am not familiar with De Jong, but otherwise I don't think there's anyone on your list who is a total lost cause. Lots of projects, and lots of uncertainty, especially in guys like Fasching, Kichton, Kujawinski and Locke.

Guys like Hudon and Thomas face some serious challenges in terms of their size, and the number of competing skilled forwards on their respective teams' depth charts. Both have enough skill that they shouldn't be written off, but it won't be an easy road to fantasy relevance.

Bailey is a guy we need to watch this year. Injuries really screwed him up last year, so how he bounces back should be a big indicator of his future value.

Stransky is definitely worth watching, but we won't really know how much of his junior success can translate until we see him in the AHL.

As Ed. said, it depends on your league and what not. But as far as guys who are my favourites on that list:

Charles Hudon, Johan Sundstrom, Andrej Sustr, Scott Mayfield, Justin Bailey, Mario Lucia and Matej Stransky

In that order.

Christian Thomas is someone to own in many fantasy formats. Ton of upside. Stransky probably has the next highest upside among the guys on the list.

Lucia, Bailey and Shore have some good upside as well but are much further away than Thomas or Stransky.

I also like Sustr quite a bit long term.

Nobody else sticks out to much to me right now. Hope this helps.

Throw all their names in a hat and pick out your top 3.. HAHA..

If it is multi-category and includes PIMs, hits, etc., then Sustr might be worth a look. He has a dobber upside of 40pts and 150pms. And it's not inconceivable that he makes TB defence this year, or maybe next year.
