Wyatt Johnston - where do you project him now?

[loppantorkel]

After Berggren it drops off and obviously there's some wiggle room with your choices here. But to be honest, I'm putting Johnson in the top 3 of this list, and I might have him ranked 1st.

Now tied with Beniers for rookie goal scoring lead with 19 goals.

Is that Johnson or Johnston you'd put in the top third?
Johnston now sole rookie goals leader with 20. He seems to get more effort goals rather than high skill passes or dekes points.

I'll see how he does in the playoffs, but I'm leaning toward holding onto him in my keep 6 league, which no matter good he looks, still is a pretty big risk, as far as fantasy league risks go... I don't believe I'd be able to get him next season otherwise.

I managed to get WJ for ROR earlier this year in a deep keeper league (before ROR went to the Leafs). I was a bit hesitant at the time but it's looking better by the minute!

Haha, I can't believe I made that typo. I was trying to say I'd put JohnsTon as in Wyatt in my top 3.

Goal in 5 straight games and 7 of his last 9....

He lead the Dallas forward group in time on ice this last game. Still doesn't score a lot, but it's interesting that a 19-yo rookie gets this kind of responsibility at this point. M Beniers still has guys like Wennberg ahead for ice time. The rookies play a similar amount of time, but I wouldn't expect the competition for time to be as tough in Seattle as in Dallas, and Beniers still is regarded a bit higher in the media from what I can tell.

Not sure if it's purely a positive reflection on Johnston, or if there's a sign of lack of depth in the Dallas forward group.

Now I'm going to list 8 players who I think have a better future in the NHL from a point production standpoint.
1. Beniers
2. MacTavish
3. K Johnson
4. Quinn
5. Perfetti
6. Berggren

Good prediction so far. A year later and W Johnston just became the first in his draft class to hit 100p. Very impressive and happy I held on to him.

I have Johnston in few leagues. I’m really high on him, and just got low curve balls offers from other GMs who wanted him.

I dropped him in my limited keeper even though I knew he was going to be a superstar. Kicking myself now.
