2010 Sleeper Picks?
Just looking for any suggestions on players in the 2010 draft that may not be getting a lot of media attention but will be good fantasy assests down the road. I'm doing well in 2 out of 3 keeper leagues so all my draft picks will be late picks (10th-12th and 23rd-24th).
Any suggestions on "sleeper picks" would be appreciated becaue all the big name players will be gone at that point.

Jeff Skinner. This guy is tearing up the OHL, leading the league in goals, and playing for a great club in Kitchener. Next year this guy will be among the league scoring leaders (he is already) and playing for a Ranger team with a legit shot at a Memorial Cup. He's small, but that doesn't mean much in the new NHL. He's a goal scorer and has looked really good when I've seen him.

Arguably the best sniper in the draft. Unless someone better drops(U know how some owners think) Id gamble on him in your 10-12 range.
Watch out for MGranlund. There are some scouts who believe he'll fall out of the top 10. Kinda of a high risk high reward guy.
Remember too good Goalies are hard to come by so grab Jack Campbell in your 10-12 range, thou I suspect someone may take him b4 this even thou hes not likely a top 10 in NHL draft.
As for your other picks way too busy(smile) to add more. Will be on later.
yup let's go rangersOriginally Posted by watchingthegame
Skinner = great vision and unbelievable hockey smarts

Depends how well you're fellow guys know the draft, but ya, Skinner is probably you're guy. Campbell probably won't be available for you, but if he is, snag him up.

Well, many of the Russians might be considered as "sleeper picks" as most of them will be drafted lower than what they deserve
Thanks a lot for the feedback folks. I hadn't heard of Skinner before and this is exactly the type responses I was looking for: putting guys on my radar who I didn't know were there.
I've been researching Skinner and from what I've heard a lot of people like his "smarts" for the game. He's a tad small but like one poster mentioned that's not as much a concern in the new NHL.
Thanks again the replies.
