Are we talking about your leagues 2-7 rounds or the NHL? cause if so Ratcliffe and Hague are not sleepers at all. In some rankings they were expected to go in the 1st round.
Thought it might be nice to get a list of who the potential fantasy sleepers are from these Rds of this draft. Mainly Forwards and Defence as goalies are discussed in another thread.
I'll start with some of the more obvious:
NHague
IRatcliffe
MStrome

I'll have to look more into Lodnia but Joni Ikonen and Alexei Lipanov were the first guys that came to mind for me. Lipanov will be coming to Canada this year to play with Barrie in the O alongside Kirill Nizhnikov and Andrei Svechnikov. I'm looking forward to seeing how they do when Barrie visits Hamilton.
Apologies for the typo. I'm high on Lodnia because he played second fiddle to the big guys in Erie this past year, and I think with some more ice freed up for him, he is going to put in a good season this year.

I consider a "sleeper" to be someone I want to draft earlier than he was drafted in the NHL draft, so for that reason I'm going to exclude guys like Boqvist, Heponiemi, Salo and Zetterlund who I also like but wouldn't draft much earlier than their NHL draft position. These guys are higher on my list than where they got drafted.
Jason Robertson
Isaac Ratcliffe
Kole Lind
Joni Ikonen
Maxime Comtois
Jonah Gadjovich
Grant Mismash
Alexei Lipanov
Nikita Popugayev
Ostap Safin
Matthew Strome
Sebastian Aho (the Swedish D-man)
Nicholas Henry
Mason Shaw
Ivan Lodnia
Markus Phillips
Adam Ruzicka
Noel Hoefenmayer
And also pretty much all the goalies that were drafted: DiPietro, Petruzzelli, Zhukov, Ustimenko, Skinner, Tarasov
Fair enough. He was probably the first one off the board from that tier, so waiting on whoever falls later in drafts may make the most sense.
He was the one I drafted in one league with a pick somewhere in that range. I think it was late 50s. Anyways, was just curious on if you had a reason you were red-flagging him. I guess here it was just relative to the definition of the sleeper.
