    Default Draft Sleepers, Steals etc.

    Got my one-year draft this weekend. Solid group of researched owners.
    Tell me who you got a steal on in your draft you are happy with and who I should keep an eye on.

    My list so far:
    3-4 round: Svechnikov
    4: Bedard if he falls, Huberdeau everyone sleeps on
    4-5: Malkin is still Malkin
    after 10: T. Bertuzzi, Patrick Kane to stash....
    12 team H-2-H 1 year league, daily roster changes, 3 goalie start minimum/week
    2xC, 2xRW, 2xLW, 4xD, 3xUtil, 2xG, 5 Bench
    G, A, P, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, Hits, W, SV%, GAA, SVs
    C: C. Keller, C. Mittelstadt, B. Nelson, R. Strome,
    LW: K. Connor, B. Tkachuk, J. Gaudreau, J. Marchessault, E. Rodrigues, A. Lafreniere
    RW: K. Fiala, J. Bratt, T. Jeannot V. Arvidsson
    D: R. Josi, J. Trouba, E. Gustafsson,
    G: L. Thompson, F. Gustavsson, V. Vanecek

    The search function is your friend - there have been at least a couple of threads on this topic in recent weeks. Not trying to be dismissive - don't take this personally.

    But in terms of the ones you mentioned, I don't like Svech as a sleeper. I think he's a tease. Huberdeau won't slide enough to have locked in value. Bedard will be taken too early by someone - don't be that guy unless you're in a rebuild. As for Bertuzzi and Kane, I think no one is going to sleep on either of them.

    Here's a recent sleepers thread: https://forums.dobbersports.com/show...light=sleepers

    Perennially Joe Pavelski is a target for me. Mike Matheson as well.

    Thanks.
    I had not seen the question posted in regards to one-year leagues which alters the answers in my view.

    Pavelski I keep betting against by avoiding, and keep being wrong so maybe I will take a swing on him.

    No one has more famously bet against Pavelski and had to live it down than me

    could go on a tangent but one guy I'm targeting late for a sneaky PP defender is Calen Addison. I also like Hagel's situation in Tampa very much with Killorn gone. He sticks on that PP1 it could be prolific.

    Solid tips!
    I did end up grabbing Elvis before moving him.
    grabbed Gaudreau and have high hopes for his point total, he does not provide a lick of banger stats unfortunately.

    Tyler Seguin will slide after B2B 50pt seasons & a 33% drop in SOG
    I expect a huge bounce back.
