Erik Johnson - D - St. Louis Blues

The #1 pick in the 2006 NHL draft & he didn't disappoint. He finished 1 season in college at Minnesota and will join the Blues for the 2008-08 hockey season. He helped lead the USA to a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships. The former Minnesota standout is now NHL ready. He has the size of a big time defense and the hockey sense to provide points for a fantasy owner. The blues are looking to turn things around with a mix of young and old which include veterans such as Tkachuk, Doug Weight, Paul Kayria.

 

Alexei Cherepanov - RW - New York Rangers

He is Europe's top prospect, but comes with some uncertainty. Cherepanov is 17 years old & had more points, as a rookie, in the Russian Super League than Evgeni Malkin, Ovechkin, and Ilya Kovalchuk earned in their rookie campaigns. Downside... Russia has still not accepted the NHL's and International Ice Hockey Federation's player transition agreement, which may delay him in playing in the NHL. The bottom line is he plays great when competing with the big boys.

 

Nicklas Backstrom - C - Washington

He had 40 points in 45 games in the Swedish Elite League with Brynas and led Brynas in scoring through 45 games with 12 goals & 28 assists for 40 points. At 19, Backstrom is definitely ready for the NHL this season, especially on a Washington team who is need help up the middle. There are two guys named Alex who may end up flanking Backstom on the left side, Ovechkin & Semin. Expectations are rising in D.C., but still remain modest. That creates a low pressure situation for the rookie & he has good chance of to post big fantasy numbers.

Free Fantasy Hockey Tips

 

Tips: Be sure of ALL scoring categories in your league. Everyone loves goal scoring, but depending on your fantasy league a great plus/minus guy with a handful of assists may yield you more points.

 

Pay particular attention to GOALIE POINTS system. If your goalies are given four scoring categories, such as goals against average, save percentage, wins, and shutouts, then a choosing a goalie in the first or second round is crucial. A strong goalie can register quality points in four categories each night while a top scorer may not have the assists or plus/minus points you had hoped for. Many leagues only award fantasy points for the goalies' wins, saves, and bonus for shutouts. The goalies in these fantasy leagues (most leagues with the exception of rotisserie leagues) can still capture many fantasy points for you, but the number quality goalies who are studs are limited. Take a goalie like Brodeur early if you can, otherwise keep your eye on streaky net minders and teams who are winning regardless if the teams' goalies are household names.

 

Know how deep your league is! If your fantasy hockey league is less than 10 teams you aren't going to be looking for many sleepers or rising stars. Twelve or more teams in a fantasy league will require a bit more research. 42 guys scored 30 goals or more last year compared to 120 guys scoring 20 goals or more. Obviously, a larger league will require you to investigate the young guys who had 20 with the potential for a breakout year.

 

MOST IMPORTANT!! Don't choose players because you like them or their team and don't pass on players because you don't like them or their team! People who are thinking about players they like and dislike during fantasy sports drafts win as often as people who bet on their favorite teams!
