He was phenomenal and instrumental to getting the stars to the playoffs. Both of his goals tonight were fantastic. Nobody in my league is paying attention to him next year but I'm targeting him.
Trevor Daley had three points for the Stars Sunday and he has five points in six playoff games now. The 30-year-old defenseman had 25 points on the season which was just shy of a career high - but he did it in 67 games, giving him a career high points-per-game average. He ended the campaign with nine points in nine games (so 14 in his last 15 overall). His power-play time topped five minutes Sunday. Sergei Gonchar has lost his PP time and Daley has picked it up. Daley was a big scorer in junior and was at one time considered a very promising offensive prospect, but sort of fell into a defense-first role. Odd that he's coming into his own at the age of 30, but it happens. As long as Dallas does not sign an offensive rearguard in the summer - and that's key to my point - then Daley is looking like a very good dark horse for next year. I'm sure they'll transition Kevin Connauton, but not enough to take the luster off of what I think Daley could do.
Look at this amazing goal by Daley and tell me he doesn't have the ability to post 40-plus points next year:

Sleeper D for next year.
He actually showed some really, really, really promising upside in the last few weeks of the season.
I just picked him up in my salary-cap dynasty.
Some D men have a point when both the player & coach realize he might have some value joining the rush.
Sleee-per.
