    Default 2017-2018 Breakout Sleeper picks.

    Last year's thread absolutely delivered. I was able to scoop up guys like Nikolaj Ehlers and William Nylander for fairly cheap and their values as keepers have increased significantly over the past 12 months.

    What are your 2017-2018 sleepers? Here are a few of mine that will probably come up a few times in your answers

    Anthony Mantha
    Ivan Provorov
    Sam Reinhart
    Juse Saaros (G)
    12-team Yahoo H2H Keeper League (10 keepers)
    Cats: G, A, P, +/-, PPP, SOG, HITS, SHOTS BLOCKED, W, GAA, Saves, Save%

    Original draft was 2015
    Year #1 = Tanked hard (finished last)
    Year #2 = Playoff League Champion
    Year #3 = Lost in Playoffs but traded Murray for 2nd best odds at #1. (Will draft Dahlin).

    10 Keepers
    Keepers: C.McDavid (C), J.Eichel (C), A.Matthews (C), P.Laine (LW-RW), J.Gaudreau (LW), N.Ehlers (LW-RW), C.Keller (LW), T.Rask (G), A.Vasilevskiy (G) + ??? (Keeper #10)
    Potential Keepers : J.Saros, T.Demko, M.Sergachev, M.Duchene, J.Puljujarvi.
    Other Players: Not worth mentioning...

    I am not sure Ryan has much for upside left at this stage. Dylan in my eyes has a lot more upside.
