Craig Anderson	G	OTT	The Senators were perhaps the most surprising team of the year, with Anderson racking up an impressive 33 wins in the process. On paper, they still seem more likley to miss the playoffs than to make it. It will be a challenge for Anderson to crack 30 wins again this time around. Besides, carrying a 2.83 GAA again last season did little to help anyone's fantasy squad. Count him as a low-end #2 goalie for your draft with more downside than upside.

David Backes	RW	STL	Backes is fantasy asset because he contributes in every category. 8 power play goals, 101 PIMs, +15, and even a handful of short handed & game winners helped rank him #33 in total fantasy production last season. If your system rewards this type of player, bump him up your list. If you're relying purely on points, he's a depth option at best.
Johan Backlund	G	PHI
Mikael Backlund	C	CGY
Christian Backman	D	COB
Nicklas Backstrom	C	WAS	Backstrom may have fallen off the radar for many fantasy owners, unwilling to invest an early pick in a player who has fallen so far over the past two seasons. When healthy, he is among the elite playmakers in the game. Following a 40 game absence, he showed he was fully recovered with a decent playoff run. Like Ovechkin, Backstrom's fate may be largely tied to the new system Oates will install. Keep an eye through the pre-season to see how he and Ovechkin fare. Don't be shocked to see him finish in the top 10 for total points this year.
Niklas Backstrom	G	MIN	Backstrom's key vitals continue to fall. For the past four seasons, his games played, and thus his win totals, have consistently gone downhill. Ironically, so has his GAA. With Harding now in his prime and armed with a new 3-year deal, Backstrom finds himself in a split-crease scenario. He's still a good goalie on an improving team, but he can no longer be tagged as a true #1 fantasy goalie.

Jamie Benn	LW	DAL	Benn continued his consistent ascension towards one of the top fantasy wingers in the game; however, injuries have held him back so far. He set career highs in goals and assists last season, despite missing 11 games. The Stars brought in some significant, if aging, talent to boost the top 2 lines. Expect Benn to have a breakout effort this season. 30 goals and 75 points are a reasonable expectation.
Jordie Benn	D	DAL
Beau Bennett	O	PIT
Andre Benoit	D	OTT
Sean Bergenheim	LW	FLA
Marc-Andre Bergeron	D	CAR
Patrice Bergeron	C	BOS	Bergeron's solid 2-way play doesn't fully translate to fantasy hockey gold. He had one incredible season coming out of the lockout, but since then, he's lingered in the 20 goal territory. If +/- matters to you, then up his value a bit.
Niclas Bergfors	RW	NAS
Patrik Berglund	C	STL
Jonathan Bernier	G	LOS	If it weren't for that Quick guy... much like Schneider in Vancouver, Bernier has been that great goalie that just has to wait. And wait. With Quick's ascension to one of the best in the game, Bernier's best chance at reaching his potential may be with another squad. Because there's a decent chance that may happen, you may want to stash this guy on your bench and wait for his (and your) opportunity.
Steve Bernier	RW	NJD
Todd Bertuzzi	RW	DET
Blair Betts	C	MON
Stu Bickel	D	NYR
Bryan Bickell	LW	CHI
Kevin Bieksa	D	VAN	At age 31, Bieksa turned in his career best performance last season, landing at 12th in terms of total fantasy value for defenseman. Bieksa has a long history of injury problems and was considering offseason surgery for some muscle problems suffered late last season. The Canucks acquired Garrison this summer to help contribute to the offense, and perhaps to mitigate the next injury to Bieksa. If health were guaranteed, he's rank much higher. I'm not willing to roll the dice on a full season here.

Jonathon Blum	D	NAS
Mike Blunden	RW	MON
Sergei Bobrovsky	G	COB	The Jackets are about ready to give up on Mason, following several train wreck campaigns. Bobrovsky quietly arrived this summer, flying under the radar of the Nash hype. The Flyers abondoned the young Russian after hitching their checkbook to Bryzgalov, but he still has much promise. Despite the loss of an icon in Nash, Columbus became a better team defensively with the trade, and have yet to realize the benefits of a full season with Wisniewski and Jack Johnson on the blue line. If you're looking for a home run sleeper pick late in your draft, this may be your best bet in net.
Troy Bodie	RW	WIN
Andrew Bodnarchuk	D	BOS
Mikkel Boedker	LW	PHO
Zach Bogosian	D	WIN	It's tempting to write off Bogosian. After four seasons, he has yet to come close to living up to his billing as the #3 overall pick from 2008. Keep in mind, he's just 22 year old. Last season was his best, with 5 goals and 30 points, and he did that while fighting off several injuries that limited him to 65 games. Consider 30 points to be a starting point for where he should finish in 2012-13. He's more likely to top out near 40.

Rene Bourque	LW	MON
Jay Bouwmeester	D	STL	At some point you would think the offense has to return to Bouwmeester's game. He was on a strong upward trajectory before leaving Florida for Calgary. While he gives the Flames great all around play, he hasn't been much of a fantasy factor, despite logging close to 30 minutes a night. Should he be moved, as rumors always suggest, he may become a different player. Even if he stays with Calgary, the potential is there for a big season at some point.
Drayson Bowman	LW	CAR
Darryl Boyce	C	TOR
Johnny Boychuk	D	BOS
Zach Boychuk	LW	CAR
Dustin Boyd	C	MON
Brad Boyes	RW	NYI
Brian Boyle	C	NYR
Dan Boyle	D	SAN	Since coming over the San Jose, Boyle has been remarkably consistent and productive. In four seasons, he's notched at least 9 goals and 48 points each year. Boyle is reflective of the Sharks as a whole, perhaps nearing a period of slow decline as he kicks off the season at age 36. Until he proves otherwise, you should treat him like a solid #2 option, but at some point the wheels will start to slow a bit.
Nick Boynton	D	PHI
Tyler Bozak	C	TOR	Bozak has steadily improved through each of his first three seasons with the Leafs. He benefited from playing between Kessel and Lupul for a spell last season. Van Riemsdyk's arrival may cause Bozak to be bumped back down the depth chart, or even moved to the wing.
Matt Bradley	RW	FLA
Derick Brassard	C	NYR
Justin Braun	D	SAN
T.J. Brennan	D	FLA
Tim Brent	C	CAR
Eric Brewer	D	TAM
Danny Briere	C	PHI	How many players in the NHL produce a point-per-game in the playoffs but can't get anywhere near that in the regular season? While the Flyers brass may be ok with that, he frustrates fantasy owners that assume this will be the season he tries before spring. With Couturier and even Read pressing him for playing time at center, don't bank on it.
Patrice Brisebois	D	MON
Martin Brodeur	G	NJD	After what this man showed us once again in the playoffs, it's tough to classify him as "falling". However, goalie fantasy value is largely tied to team success and the Devils, despite making a triumphant run to the finals, cannot be see as an improving squad. The loss of Parise and failure to make any positive roster moves leave them facing an uncertain fate. This team could struggle to put up enough wins to make the playoffs. Brodeur will do his part, but don't bank on him being a fantasy horse this season.

Damien Brunner	O	DET
Fabian Brunnstrom	LW	DET
Ilya Bryzgalov	G	PHI	Who know what's going on inside the mind of this man and what effect it may have on his fantasy numbers for the coming season? He was a total beast during his tenure in Phoenix, then crashed and burned through most of his first go with Philly. He recovered nicely in Spring, with a brilliant stretch of wins in March, only to crash and burn in the playoffs. They Flyers have no choice but to run with their investment, so he'll get the starts even if he struggles. Philly is guaranteed to put up 40+ wins and he'll be seeing most of those. He has the potential to be a top 3 goaltender, but after last season, this is a gamble to be sure.
Peter Budaj	G	MON
Brett Bulmer	RW	MIN
Adam Burish	RW	SAN
Alex Burmistrov	C	WIN	Burmistrov is ultra-talented, but has yet to turn that into fantasy success. Jokinen's arrival may put a dent in his progression, but this may be the year he emerges as a fantasy threat. Keep an eye on him late in the draft or as a waiver wire option should injuries affect your roster early on.
Brent Burns	D	SAN	Burns fell a little shy of expectations after coming over in the Heatley deal last season. He still had a respectable showing with 11 goals and 37 points for the Sharks. Burns has had injury problems throughout his career and had offseason hernia surgery. He should be ready for camp, but it's worth applying caution here.
Alexandre Burrows	LW	VAN
Bobby Butler	RW	NAS
Chris Butler	D	CGY
Dane Byers	LW	COB
Dustin Byfuglien	D	WIN	Despite sitting out 16 games with a knee injury in 2011-12, he still settled into 5th place in total fantasy points on defense last year. The big man has entered into double-digits in goals for five straight seasons. He's the showcase event in Winnepeg and is allowed more freedom than most at his position to roam as the 4th attacker. Another solid fantasy season should be a given.
Paul Byron	C	CGY
Joe Callahan	D	FLA
Ryan Callahan	RW	NYR
Matt Calvert	LW	COB
Michael Cammalleri	LW	CGY
Matt Campanale	D	NYI
Brian Campbell	D	FLA	With Campbell, you need to know your system to assess his value. If points are all that matter, he's a valuable commodity. What holds him back is his goal production. He averages about 6 goals a season, while his assists are near tops in the league. At age 33, he's still a workhorse for the Panthers, averaging close to 30 minutes a game. Regardless of your point system, he obviously has value. It's up to you to determine how much.
Gregory Campbell	C	BOS
Carter Camper	O	BOS
Chris Campoli	D	MON
Luca Caputi	LW	TOR
Dan Carcillo	LW	CHI
Matt Carkner	D	NYI
Mathieu Carle	D	MON
Matt Carle	D	TAM	Matt Carle is another safe, if un-sexy, pick for you to fall back on late in the draft. For the last 3 seasons, he's popped in a handful of goals and lingered between 35 and 40 points. He will be the go-to guy for the Lightning this season and will probably remain in that territory.
John Carlson	D	WAS	It seems that the hand-off from Mike Green to Carlson is complete. Caps fans will be anxious to see what new Coach Oates brings to the table, but from a fantasy perspective, it has to get better than 2011-12. Carlson's production was limited last year by the system. Assuming he gets the green light to fly, this should be a big breakout year. Think 50 point season.
Jordan Caron	RW	BOS
Sebastien Caron	G	TAM
Brett Carson	D	CGY
Jeff Carter	C	LOS	It was a fascinating season for Carter, as he journeyed through highs and lows before ending the season with a Stanley Cup held over his head. He was traded twice, and injured multiple times, which prevented him from finding any kind of chemistry or rhythm. He ultimately was able to contribute for LA and should be ready for a fresh start in 2012. Expect a bounce back in goal and point totals this year, in the neighborhood of 35 / 70.
Ryan Carter	C	NJD
Michael Caruso	D	FLA
Roman Cervenka	O	CGY
Zdeno Chara	D	BOS	Few hockey players have been as consistent in fantasy production as Big Z. Goals. Assists. +/-. Penalties. All Star slap shot records. He does it all. Through 11 NHL seasons, the most games he's missed in a year is 11. Can't go wrong here.

Mat Clark	D	ANA
David Clarkson	RW	NJD	Clarkson has never been known for racking up the points, so try not to get too excited about those 30 goals he scored last year. That number, combined with a healthy dose of PIMs was enough for him to finish ranked 56th in total fantasy value. Don't expect a jump from there, or even a repeat. It's too much to look for Clarkson to get back to 30 goals again this time around. Don't overpay for one good season...

Erik Cole	RW	DAL	The Habs surprised many by giving luring Cole away from the Canes last summer with a big Free Agent contract. Cole surprised even more by making that contract look like a bargain. He led the team with 35 goals, setting a near career best. It's hard to picture him getting back to the level again this season. The good news is that he won't be challenged for playing time on the right wing. Montreal is shallow on talent at that position, so he'll see plenty of minutes. 25 goals is a more realistic target.

Logan Couture	C	SAN	While some of the offensive guns in San Jose are on the downward slope of their careers, Couture is just hitting his stride. In his 2nd full NHL campaign, he once again topped 30 goals / 10 ppg and saw his point total jump from 56 to 65. It's reasonable to expect another boost in production in his third year. Expect him to challenge Thornton for the scoring lead in San Jose this year.
Sean Couturier	C	PHI
Jared Cowen	D	OTT
Charlie Coyle	O	MIN
Joey Crabb	RW	WAS
Adam Cracknell	RW	STL
Ryan Craig	C	PIT
Corey Crawford	G	CHI	Crawford was a serious fantasy disappointment last season. His GAA escalated to 2.72 while his save percentage tanked down to .903. And not a single shutout to his credit. On the plus side, the Hawks are still a serious challenger in the NHL and Crawford will once again be tagged as the man going into 2012-13. Should he falter, don't be shocked to Emery get more starts, or to see Chicago swing a deal for a star goaltender to supplant him. He has some upside, but it's tough to value him above a marginal #2 option.
B.J. Crombeen	RW	TAM
Sidney Crosby	C	PIT	The only question even worth considering at the top is "Can he stay healthy?" If you believe Crosby can make it through 65+ games this season, there is really no choice to be made. He is far and away the greatest player in the league. The ceiling is just too high to pass, even with the risk involved. No doubt, there is a huge risk here, as #87 has never played a complete 82 game season. Pick him first or second, 'cause he won't be around after that.

Mathieu Darche	LW	MON
Pavel Datsyuk	LW	DET	Pavel remains one of the top talents in the game, but his days as a fantasy superstar are clearly behind him. After four dominating seasons coming out of the lockout, he has gone 3 straight seasons with 70 points or less. He's also weak on goal-scoring for players in that territory. So while he's critical to the team success for Detroit, he won't single-handedly make your fantasy team a winner. Another concern his health. He missed a couple of weeks late last season following knee surgery. His points-per-game declined noticeably after returning.

Calvin de Haan	D	NYI
Greg de Vries	D	NAS
Mark Dekanich	G	COB
Danny DeKeyser	D	DET
Michael Del Zotto	D	NYR	Del Zotto has established himself as a reliable fantasy contributor, now entering his 4th season in the league. His sophomore season was interrupted by injury, but in his two full seasons, he's put up about 10 goals / 40 points both times. That makes him a solid #3 man for your fantasy roster.

Guillaume Desbiens	RW	CGY
David Desharnais	C	MON
Andrew Desjardins	C	SAN
Cedrick Desjardins	G	TAM
Jeff Deslauriers	G	ANA
Simon Despres	D	PIT	Having failed to land Suter or any other help on defense, the Pens will turn to the young stable of defensemen to join the attack. Despres may emerge as the best option in 2012-13. He has a ton of potential and has a shot to be a good sleeper pick.

Drew Doughty	D	LOS	Doughty was a colossal disappointment through the first half of last season. By the end of the season, and certainly after lifting the Cup, memories of the big-contract hangover were long gone. Through January 2011, he had managed just 2 goals. He closed the season with 10 goals and 36 points. With a Cup ring on his finger, he is poised to challenge for some personal hardware this time around.

Davis Drewiske	D	MON
Jeff Drouin-Deslaurie	G	EDM
Chris Drury	C	NYR
Wade Dubielewicz	G	MIN
Brandon Dubinsky	C	COB
Devan Dubnyk	G	EDM	Considering the defense Dubnyk has had to play behind during his career, the young Oiler netminder has done fairly well for himself. As this crew starts to come together and at a minimum piles on the goals, Edmonton should gain more in the win column, even if the goals against stay high. Dubnyk should get more starts this season than ever before, making him a starter with some great upside.
Matt Duchene	C	COL	Duchene set the bar pretty high with his first two seasons, which made last year's troubles so disappointing. If the Avs are going to improve, it will have to be on the shoulders of this man. 2012-13 was significantly interrupted by a sever knee injury in late December. He never found his form after that and finished with just 28 points in 58 games. He may fall off the map for most in your draft, so put the ole * next to his name and snag him in a late round. A fresh start should help him get back into fantasy relevance. Remember, he's just 21 years old and his best is still to come.

J.P. Dumont	RW	NAS
Brodie Dupont	C	NAS
Pascal Dupuis	LW	PIT	For years, Dupuis has plugged away on the 3rd and 4th lines in Pittsburgh, getting spot action with Crosby in between injuries. More than any other Penguin, he seems to find chemistry with #87 with every shift he gets. While the lines in Pittsburgh will continue to be jumbled, he should see enough time with Sid to match or exceed his career-high 25 goals that he registered last season. He possesses a wicked shot and has the potential to be a 30-goal man.

Jordan Eberle	RW	EDM	Eberle took a giant leap forward in his 2nd NHL season. He's now on the verge of entering the elite. With a full season along side Hall and Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle has an outside chance at challenging for the scoring lead this season. Expect big things here.
Tyler Eckford	D	PHO
Alexander Edler	D	VAN	When Ehrhoff bolted for Buffalo last summer, Edler slid into the #1 man job description. He seemed to fill that role nicely, racking up close to 50 points, including an impressive 228 shots on net. Even with the addition of Garrison and the presence of a healthy Bieksa, Edler will continue to carry the mail for one of the league's top contenders. Look for another strong effort in the 10 goal, 50 point territory.
Christian Ehrhoff	D	BUF	Ehrhoff was steadily increasing his stats from year to year before signing his big FA contract in the move to Buffalo. He took a step back last season, but a good bit of that can be attributed to 16 games lost in 2 seperate injuries. He still managed a respectable 32 points in 66 games, but fell short of expectations. More importantly, he managed just 5 goals after back to back seasons of 14 goals. That said, his quiet season may cause him to fall off the radar for most GMs. Expect a bit of a bounceback from Ehrhoff in 2012-13. 8 goals and 40 points seem reasonable.
Mattias Ekholm	D	NAS
Oliver Ekman-Larsson	D	PHO	By the end of 2012 and into the playoffs, Ekman-Larsson was averaging upwards of 30 minutes a night. Together with Yandle, Phoenix has one of the best 1-2 offensive punches from the blueline. He posted 13 goals last season and is likely get back there again in 2012-13. He should have no trouble topping last season's 32 points.
Patrik Elias	LW	NJD	Every few years Elias shows up and has a crazy good campaign, only to slide down into average for a couple years between. Last season was one of those crazy good ones. You see where I'm going here... In other words, do not expect a repeat of those 78 points in 2012-13. 20 goals and 60 points is a safer bet.
Corey Elkins	C	LOS
Lars Eller	C	MON
Keaton Ellerby	D	LOS
Brian Elliott	G	STL	A case could be made that Brian Elliot was the best goalie in the NHL last season. The only thing that held him back from serious Vezina consideration was his lack of games played. 9 shutouts in 38 starts certainly raises a brow. So why not rank him with the elite heading into 2012-13? At best, Elliot will split starts with the team's true #1, Jaroslav Halak. At worst, he is remembered for that one great season where he almost become a #1 goalie. Assuming Halak gets healthy and stays hot, you can expect Elliot to take more of a backseat this time around. Don't overrate his one great season.
Stefan Elliott	D	COL
Dan Ellis	G	CAR
Matt Ellis	LW	BUF
Ryan Ellis	D	NAS	Ellis was in and out of the deep defensive lineup of the Predators last season. With Suter gone, Ellis should see his role, playing time, and best of all, fantasy value take a big step forward in 2012-13. It's really just a matter of time for this first round pick to emerge as a fantasy factor.
Alexei Emelin	D	MON
Ray Emery	G	CHI	Emery's "comeback" to the NHL has been somewhat uneventful. From the Blackhawk perspective, that's a good thing. From a fantasy perspective, he's not been much of a factor. He will once again have the opportunity to step in if/when Crawford stumbles and possibly earn a starting job in Chicago or elsewhere. Emery enters the 2012 at just 29 years of age, despite having a long history of headlines in this league. There is still time for him to make good on the promise. Draft him late as a quiet sleeper pick.
Steve Eminger	D	NYR
Cory Emmerton	C	DET
Deryk Engelland	D	PIT
Andreas Engqvist	C	MON
Tyler Ennis	LW	BUF	When you get down to your 6th offensive spot or later in the draft, what you're looking for is potential. Ennis definitely provides that, and he'll be way off the radar for most GMs at your draft table. He managed to play just 48 games last season, but still provided decent scoring on the third line. The center position is up for grabs in Buffalo and Ennis could work his way up to the top line by the end of the season.
Jhonas Enroth	G	BUF	Enroth has shaped up to be a nice complement to Ryan Miller. He pieced together a strong run of games last fall when Miller went down. All told, you can probably expect another 20-some game workload this time around, which significantly limits his fantasy value.
Tobias Enstrom	D	WIN	Enstrom's stock was rising rapidly last summer after putting up 10 goals and 51 points in 2010-11. A broken collar bone suffered last fall severely limited his production last season, which may cause him to be somewhat looked over in this year's draft. It didn't take him long to get back to averaging 25 minutes a game for the Jets and is likely to bounce back into the 50 point territory this season.
Martin Erat	RW	WAS
Jonathan Ericsson	D	DET
Anders Eriksson	D	NYR
Loui Eriksson	RW	DAL	Check out Loui's point totals for the last three seasons: 71, 73, 71. His goal totals have lingered between 26 and 29 as well. Gotta love that consistency. And the truth is, he's capable of more. The Stars brought in some help for the top 2 lines, but Eriksson will still be counted on to be the team's top sniper. I fully expect 35 goals out of brother Loui in 2012-13.

Valtteri Filppula	C	DET	Filppula set career bests in goals, assists, +/- and points last season and emerged as the team's most reliable winger. He fits the mold for Detroit, meaning he could probably score more on a less responsible defensive team. This limits his upside potential. He has also struggled to stay healthy through his 6-year career. Look for another 20 goal / 60 point effort.
Jeff Finger	D	TOR

Tomas Fleischmann	LW	FLA	Fleischmann teamed up with Versteeg and Weiss to form one of the hottest lines in the NHL through the first quarter of last season. Eventually, the wheels fell off, but he still finished with respectable, career-high totals in goals, assists, and points. He remains the only true scoring threat the Panthers possess on the left wing, so he will continue to see tons of ice time. Despite putting in his first full 82 game season last year, he will always remain a bit of an injury risk.
Marc-Andre Fleury	G	PIT	Forget about the playoffs. I said, forget about it... Let's get back to that regular season when Fleury piled up 42 wins to go with a 2.36 GAA for the Pens. He was just outside the ranks of the Vezina candidates. (Hey, forget about the playoffs, ok?). What happened in April against the Flyers is hard to explain, and with Fleury, it's always hard to explain. But the bottom line here is that he's a great goalie who will start the bulk of the games for a great team. The addition of Vokoun can only help, as Bylsma won't feel obligated to hang the Flower out to dry when he has a bad game or two. Look for a fine bounce back in 2012-13. That said, we'll still classify this pick as a gamble. (It's hard to forget about the playoffs.)

He's just 20 and is getting more comfortable with his game and the Ducks will be leaning heavily on him with Visnovsky leaving town. Assuming the Ducks are better as a team this time around, this should be the year that Fowler emerges as a fantasy stud.

Marian Gaborik	RW	COB	Last season, Gaborik played 82 games and scored 41 goals. One of those numbers came as a huge surprise. Last season was the first time in his 11 year career that Gaborik played in every game. It was the third time he cracked the 40 goal plateau. His ability to produce for your fantasy team is completely tied to his health. Back to back healthy seasons? Seems like a lot to ask, particularly now that he's into his 30s. Still, even if you get 60 games from him, he's well worth the gamble.
Simon Gagne	LW	PHI
Sam Gagner	C	EDM	Five seasons in the books and every one saw Gagner finish with a point total in the 40's. This, despite dropping 1/4 of them in one game last season. Gagner will center the #2 line between Paajarvi and the rookie Yakupov, giving the Oilers two top lines made up entirelly of 1st round draft picks. The tide should lift Gagner to the next level.

Jason Garrison	D	VAN	Garrison timed his career-season perfectly. He cashed in with a big deal with his hometown Canucks. As a fantasy GM, it's going to take more than one good season to sell me. A look back at his college career, his minor season with Rochester and his first few years with the Panthers shows little history of offensive production. You can't completely overlook the fact that he was a beast for Florida last season, racking up 16 goals, but he managed just 17 assists. Goal scoring is harder to reproduce for defensemen, particularly in new environment. Don't overvalue him until he repeats this success.

He's one of the most talented centers in the NHL, yet fails to deliver the goods from a fantasy perspective. He fell even further last season to a mere 11 goals / 57 points.

Mark Giordano	D	CGY	Giordano has been the most consistent blueliner in Calgary for the last three years. He managed to top 8 goals again last season, despite missing half the winter with a leg injury. He doesn't have much offensive help with the forward in Calgary, so his upside is limited. Still, you can't argue with 28 goals over three season. Decent depth option.
Dan Girardi	D	NYR	Girardi finally garnered some attention last season with his first All-Star berth. He's been Mr. Steady for the Rangers, playing roughly half of each game. He led all defensemen in post-season scoring last spring. Another 30 point effort should be expected in 2012-13.
Alexandre Giroux	LW	COB
Claude Giroux	C	PHI	There can be no doubt, Giroux has earned his spot among the elite. Through his first four NHL seasons, his point totals have steadily increased. The only factor holding him back from going first overeall is his meager goal production. He should have no problem finishing in the top 5 again this season, and should push for a career high 30 goals this time around.

Alex Goligoski	D	DAL	The Stars paid a dear price to get Goligoski from the Pens, moving out scoring ace James Neal in the process. Thus far, that deal has been lost, as he's failed to be the top 10 defenseman they envisioned him becoming. There's still time for this deal to be salvaged; however. At age 27, he's in his prime scoring years. The Stars have a significantly different look offensively coming into 2012, so there's no telling what effect (good or bad) this may have on his value as a fantasy option. Right now, I fashion him as a gamble worth pursuing.
Cody Goloubef	D	COB
Scott Gomez	C	SAN
Sergei Gonchar	D	OTT	He's not done yet. But almost. Following a terrifying first season with Ottawa in 2010-11, he bounced back a bit last year with a 37 point effort. Nowhere near what he produced through most of his career, but still enough to merit a fantasy roster spot. As he enters his 17th NHL season, he's no longer counted on to carry the mail. Look for him to squeeze out one more 30 point season this year.

Mike Green	D	WAS	Has there ever been such a dramatic fall from grace for a fantasy hockey superstar? After consecutive seasons with 70+ points, the last two years for Green have been horrific. He hasn't been healthy for a long time, which obviously limited his chances. When he did play, he struggled to understand his role in the new-look controlled Capitals systems. He was the heart of the run and gun Capitals and found himself wondering what his role is. Assuming he's healthy, he still has the raw talent to be a huge fantasy factor. It may come down to Adam Oates and how much of a green light he gives Green. Green claims to be healthy and optimistic about the 2012 coaching situation, so this could be the steal of the draft if you catch him with a mid-round selection.

Ron Hainsey	D	WIN
Jaroslav Halak	G	STL	You may find it shocking to see Halak so high on the draft list, but here are three reasons to believe he's due for a Vezina challenge: 1. He's that good. Think back to the Olympics when he carried Slovakia. Think back to his spectacular run with the Habs. He can be a wall. 2. Hitchcock. This man has a history of making goalies stats silly good. 3. I'm not sold on Elliot repeating his magic. Halak should emerge as the horse and get his 60 starts. Enough to make this a gamble worth taking. Feel free to wait on him, as others won't have him in the top 10. By the end of the season, he'll be a top-5 goalie. So don't wait too long. Don't forget, St. Louis piled up the wins last season. They just split 'em up between Halak and Elliot. More will fall this way in 2012-13. The one concern to keep an eye on up to draft time is how well he has recovered from last season's ankle injury. Initial word is that he will be good to go.
David Hale	D	OTT
Micheal Haley	C	NYR
Matt Halischuk	RW	NAS
Adam Hall	RW	PHI
Taylor Hall	LW	EDM	If I had to pick one candidate for a huge breakout season, my money would be on Taylor Hall. The only thing that could stop him is a potential relapse from the concussion that held him out of the final 11 games of last season. Hall will be featured on one of the top lines this season with Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins. He is on track to start the season in full health. Last chance to draft him before he enters the elite part of town next season.
Jeff Halpern	C	MON
Dan Hamhuis	D	VAN	The upside is limited for Hamhuis, but logging 25 minutes a game with the Canucks would give anyone opportunity for fantasy success. He saw his production increase with the Canucks, putting up 37 points last season. 40 points is probably the ceiling for this guy, but if he gets close to that, he's worthy of a depth pick.
Zach Hamill	C	BOS
Dougie Hamilton	D	BOS
Ryan Hamilton	O	TOR
Travis Hamonic	D	NYI	Heading into this third NHL campaign, Hamonic is poised for a big bump in his production. Despite being jus 21 years of age, he is already averaging in the neighborhood of 25 minutes a game. He will be partnered with Mark Streit once again next season, giving him plenty of opportunity to set a career best in points. Hamonic regularly put up big numbers during his time in the WHL. He should start to show similar results this year in New York.

Josh Harding	G	MIN	Harding has been patiently waiting his turn in Minnesota, filling in primarily during Backstrom's many injuries. By now, he's earn every right to at least split the crease, even when both goalies are healthy. Both goalies will benefit from seeing a new #1 defenseman protecting them from harm for 30 minutes a night this time around. Should he garner more playing time, this could be a breakout year. Or, it could be another mediocre fill-in campaign.

Scott Hartnell	LW	PHI	For those who know their history from the other side of the state, think Robbie Brown. Few players in recent memory have had such dramatic success that is so clearly tied to lining up next to a superstar. Hartnell pieced together a fantastic season, finishing 4th among forwards in total fantasy value. None of this would have been remotely possible on the 2nd line, but lined up next to Giroux, he was money. Should he retain that sweet spot this season, he has considerable worth; however, there are a handful of up and coming youngsters that will press for a chance on the top line. Don't overpay based on one great season.
Niclas Havelid	D	NJD
Martin Havlat	RW	SAN	After 3 years of decent health, Havlat slid back to a regular spot on the IR. Despite ranking as the #2 RW option in San Jose, he doesn't see much playing time. At age 31, he still has the potential to come out with a solid fantasy season, particularly given the talent surrounding him. It's a late round risk worth considering.
Jimmy Hayes	RW	CHI
Dany Heatley	RW	MIN	With all the madness in Minnesota this summer, Heatley has become somewhat of an afterthought. His goal and point totals have been shrinking steadily since leaving Ottawa in 2009. He remains the top threat on the right wing for the Wild. Expect a decent rebound in numbers for the Heatley. 30+ goals should be in your scopes.

He will enter the season unchallenged as the #1 in Anaheim once again, but will again be limited by the play of the men in front of him. The Ducks should be better this time around, and you may be able to snatch up Hiller as a solid #2 late in your draft. Potential sleeper here.

Cody Hodgson	C	BUF	Hodgson got a bit of a shock when he was dealt part way through his rookie season with Vancouver. While it took some time to adjust, the move may ultimately pay off, as he now emerges as the #1 center on a Sabres team that is on the rise. With Pominville and Vanek on the flanks, Hodgson should pile up the assists in his 2nd NHL campaign.

Nathan Horton	RW	BOS	Another player that has dropped out of fantasy conversation over the past year, due to concussion issues, Horton will look to rebound this fall. He will have to steal time from Peverley to make an impact, as he'll enter camp as the Bruin's #3 right wing option. He has the potential to get back to the 30 goal level if he can stay healthy and find enough playing time in Boston.
Marian Hossa	RW	CHI	Following the lockout, Hossa was a fantasy monster, registering seasons of 92 and 100 points. In the years that followed, he saw his numbers decline as he hopped from team to team. 2011-12 was a year of redemption for the winger, as he re-emerged as a fantasy star. His balance of goal scoring, +/- and Power play goals helped him finish as the 9th best fantasy forward in the NHL. It helped that it was his first healthy season since '06-'07. If he can stay healthy, he has the supporting cast to be a star once more this season. That's a bit of a gamble, given his frail history. Upside is huge, but the risk must be considered.
Jimmy Howard	G	DET	Howard has been remarkably consistent during his three years as Detroit's #1 man. He has hit the 35 win marker in all 3 seasons. This year, Detroit threw Gustavsson into the mix as Howard's backup, but don't expect that to bite into Howard's games played. He hasn't topped 63 games played in his career to this date. Detroit won't be the same team without Lidstrom, and nobody will feel that pain more than the goalie. It seems unlikely that Howard will get back to 35 wins again this time around. Overrated.

He has very little help in Calgary, but that's pretty much been the story of his career. Despite being 35, you should bank on another 30 until he proves you wrong. If he ever got some assistance, he might re-emerge as an all-around fantasy star again someday.

He's entering his prime at age 24 and expectations should be high for him going forward. He's not on the radar for most fantasy GMs, so you can claim him late and cash in on this sleeper pick should this be the season for him to emerge.
Jack Johnson	D	COB	Johnson's totals have stayed relatively flat for the past 3 years, lingering around 40 points. 2012 brought a major change to Jackson's prospects. Despite going from the soon-to-be Cup Champion Kings to the basement dwelling Jackets, Johnson actually saw a huge boost in his value upon his trade last February. He immediately went from averaging < 20 minutes a game to logging close to 30. As a results, he amassed 14 points over his final 18 games. That's a sweet omen for good times ahead.

Patrick Kane	RW	CHI	At this point in his career, Kane was expected to be listed among the reliable elite. Turns out he's made more headlines off the ice than on ice, which isn't typical for stars in this sport. He peaked in 2010 with 30 goals and 88 points, but has dropped both totals in the two years since. He certainly has the speed and skills to get back to the top, but right now, you have to wonder if immaturity will allow him to get there. Look for an upward correction from last year's totals, with potential to rise way above that.

Kiprusoff tends to get drafted a bit too early for my taste. Too much working against the aging veteran to trust beyond a bench spot.

Koivu missed significant time due to 3 separate injuries last season. His 7 years in the NHL have consistently been defined by injuries, which is the key that holds him back from being a serious fantasy threat. Look for a ton of assists when he is in the lineup.

Catch him while he's hot and sit him when he's not. The Bruins have plenty of goal-scoring potential on all 3 lines, so he will get his points no matter who he lines up with. After two straight 62-point seasons, you should expect a bump up close to 70 in 2012-13.
Niklas Kronwall	D	DET	With the Lidstrom era now complete and having lost out on the Suter sweeps, Detroit will now turn to Kronwall as their #1 option on defense. He finally put together a full 82-game season last year, and netted 15 goals in the process. That's two straight seasons in double digits for goals scored.

Nikolai Kulemin	LW	TOR
Dmitry Kulikov	D	FLA	A mid-season knee injury held him back from emerging as a big fantasy factor last season. He finished the year healthy, logging 20+ minutes a game. With Garrison moving on, Kulikov will be counted on to produce more offense for Florida. Look for a career best in the 35 point territory.
Tomas Kundratek	D	WAS
Chris Kunitz	LW	PIT	While he's a key contributor the Penguins success, his style of play doesn't translate well to fantasy success. Despite regularly playing with Crosby (when #87 is healthy), the best he's managed in his 8 year career is 26 goals and 61 points, which he did last season. It's tough to see him rising above those numbers at this point. As long as Crosby is healthy, he'll have some value, but his upside is limited.

Gabriel Landeskog	LW	COL	At age 19, Landeskog was the best player for the Avs last season, leading the team in most stat categories. He was rewarded with the Calder trophy. It's natural to expect another step forward in his second season. He's not afraid to shoot, as evidenced by his 270 shots on goal last season. Look for a go at 30 goals.

Philip Larsen	D	DAL
Adam Larsson	D	NJD	Adam Larsson had a hard time staying in the lineup for the Devils in his rookie campaign. The fourth overall draft pick last spring should be handed a bit more responsibility this time around. Don't expect a huge offensive outburst, but he could be a servicable depth option at some point this year.

Nick Leddy	D	CHI	Leddy saw his role with the Hawks rise faster than expected last season, becoming arguably the team's best offensive option on the back end, even challenging Duncan Keith. Going into his 3rd NHL campaign, the gifted defenseman should continue his upward trajectory. Look for him to top 40 points this time around.
Anders Lee	O	NYI
Brian Lee	D	TAM
Manny Legace	G	CAR
David Legwand	C	NAS
Scott Lehman	D	WIN
Robin Lehner	G	OTT
Kari Lehtonen	G	DAL	It appears that the chronic injury fears are somewhat behind him, making Lehtonen a safe pick at last. In two healthy seasons with the Stars, he's topped 30 wins twice and put up strong numbers in GAA and save percentage. Dallas made some nice player moves in the offseason, which should help net more W's for Lehtonen this time around. He's a solid #2 fantasy goalie with the potential to be a strong #1.

Kris Letang	D	PIT	Letang is on the verge of superstardom. His progress was hampered last season by concussion issues. Despite fighting the head problems, he still piled up 10 goals and 32 assists in just 51 games. He's also a consistent contributor in the PIMs column, making him an all-around must have fantasy prospect in 2012-13. Look for a career high of 60+ points.

Anders Lindback	G	TAM	Has Tampa finally found an answer to their goalie problems? Can Nashville continue to export top notch goalies to other teams? Lindback will seek to answer both of those questions with a Yes heading into 2012. When given the chance to relieve Rinne over the past two seasons, he has performed admirably. Tampa's defense will surrender far more shots than he was accustomed to seeing, but the 6'6'' behemoth should be up to the challenge. Expect big things from the Swede in Tampa.
Joakim Lindstrom	C	COL
Enver Lisin	O	NYR
Bryan Little	C	WIN	Technically, there can only be 30 #1 centers in the league, and so technically, Little qualifies to be on that list. This, despite having fallen short of his career high of 51 points for the last 3 seasons. The potential is there, and he's just 24 years of age; however, the Jets need more from the top pivot. Even he doesn't produce early, look for Burmistrov to steal his job.
Corey Locke	C	OTT
Andrei Loktionov	C	NJD
Matthew Lombardi	C	ANA
Ben Lovejoy	D	ANA
Milan Lucic	LW	BOS	Lucic managed to repeat the solid effort he displayed in 2010-11 that vaulted into the fantasy conversation. His blend of production in goals, assists, and PIMs make him a safe 4th or 5th round pick.
Brad Lukowich	D	DAL
Mike Lundin	D	OTT
Jamie Lundmark	C	TOR
Henrik Lundqvist	G	NYR	There are very few sure things from year to year when it comes to fantasy goalies. The King was finally rewarded for his steadiness with his first Vezina. Probably a season or two late in coming. Whether it's wins, saves, or any other goaltending stat that you covet, you can't miss with Lundqvist again this season. He may finally reach 40 wins for the first time in his career this season.
Roberto Luongo	G	VAN	Until we know for certain where Luongo will be playing this fall, it's tough to know where to place him. He's basically fallen to a 1A/1B situation in Vancouver with Schneider. If he gets a new home, he will do so as the undisputed #1. For now, assuming Vancouver gets his services, he's a decent #2 goalie option who can be the best in the game for short periods of time.
Joffrey Lupul	LW	TOR	Lupul surprised many by hanging with the league leaders through most of the first half of the season. He established a career high with 67 points, despite missing the last 16 games of the season with a separated shoulder. He claims to be back to full strength following a full summer of rehabilitation. Lupul and Kessel should be able to pick up where they left off as one of the league's top duos, making him a great pick as one of your top LWs this season.

Evgeni Malkin	C	PIT	Malkin was clearly The Man last season. He did everything right and earned every bit of the hardware he was handed. So can he repeat as the best player in the league? Much like his fellow center Crosby, it will come down to health. The last time he put up 100 points (113, actually) in '08-09, he followed it up with seasons of 77 and 37 points, due to various injuries. Still, the upside is far too high to pass on. Good enough to go first, shouldn't go beyond 3rd.

Mark Mancari	RW	VAN
Brandon Manning	D	PHI

Paul Mara	D	MON
Brad Marchand	C	BOS	Marchand made steady progress in his sophomore season, adding 7 to both his goal and assist totals. He lit the league on fire in the first half of the season before trailing off a bit in part 2. He may get pushed for playing time by Jordan Caron at some point, but he's a solid play who will continue to improve his totals in year 3.
Todd Marchant	C	ANA
Andrei Markov	D	MON
Jacob Markstrom	G	FLA	While "goalie of the future" has been his subtitle for a couple of seasons now, he may have to bear that title for yet another campaign. The Panthers seem content on running with veterans Theodore and Clemennsen and remain in the rumor mill for Luongo's services. That said, there's always a possibility that injury or other circumstances give this young man an opportunity to arrive ahead of schedule as Florida's #1 man.
Patrick Marleau	LW	SAN	Marleau has seen his goal and point totals drop steadily for two seasons in a row. After finishing the season with a strong run, he was shutout in 5 playoff games. So what will happen next? It's tough to know with Marleau. The good news is, he is one of the few players in the league to top 30 goals in 6 of the last 7 seasons. There's no reason to believe he cannot do it again. He's also popped in 10+ ppg for the last 4 seasons. He's a safe mid-round pick, but don't hold out hope for an increase over last year's numbers. A slight dip would not be shocking.

Jamie McBain	D	CAR	McBain is entering his 3rd full season with the Canes and is poised to become a noticable fantasy factor in 2012-13. His career best of 30 points from his rookie season should be a starting point. Look for him to approach the 40 point plateau or better this time around.

Jay McClement	C	TOR
Thomas McCollum	G	DET

Ryan McDonagh	D	NYR
Andy McDonald	C	STL	The majority of the season was played without McDonald once again, as he recovered from a head injury. When he did return, he quietly played near a point-a-game (until he was hurt again). If he could ever put together a healthy season, he could put up some good totals, particularly with the talent around him in St. Louis. At age 34, he may be running out of chances. It's a long shot to expect him to get near his career high of 85 points ever again, but given a little luck, he could return to 60 point territory.

Milan Michalek	LW	OTT	Michalek was the prize in the Heatley deal a few years back, but took some time before showing his value. He finally broke through last season with 35 goals, by far the most in his career. He found outstanding chemistry with Spezza and was in the running for the Richard trophy at one point. If your league places a premium on goal-scoring, bump him up further on your list.

Ryan Miller	G	BUF	Miller had a rough start to the season, which included missing a few weeks with concussion issues. It took him (and the Sabres) just a bit too long to salvage the season, but man did they look solid down the stretch. Miller was playing at All-Star levels through most of the spring, which may bode very well for his prospects heading into 2012-13. The Sabres are now a confident bunch and their young forwards are starting to click. This means more help for Miller in getting those W's on the stat sheet. Look for a solid, bounce-back year for Miller to re-establish himself as a top-notch fantasy starter.

Al Montoya	G	WIN	Montoya moves from one goalie circus to another. For the past couple of seasons, he provided an occasional glimmer of goodness in the Islander crease. Now, he will seek to extend his well-traveled career with a Jets team in need of some consistency. With Mason's departure and Pavelec's inconsistent play (and off-ice troubles), Montoya has an opportunity to the #1 guy for the first time in his career. If you're in a deep league and want an outside shot at a sleeper, consider Al.

Matt Moulson	LW	NYI	After three straight 30+ goal seasons, perhaps it's time to give Moulson a little respect. The problem is that he's a 1-trick pony. Assists are low. He rarely takes a penalty. And as for +/-: he plays for the Islanders... The good news is that if you have 1 trick, scoring goals (particularly a bunch on the power play), isn't a bad trick to master.

Tyler Myers	D	BUF	Myers has now recorded 3 season in the NHL and has seen his stats drop each year, following his Calder Trophy year. Last season was largely interrupted by a broken wrist that held him out for all of December. The Sabres came on strong down the stretch last season, as did Myers. Expect a big time bounce back for his fantasy value in 2012-13.
Evgeni Nabokov	G	NYI	In a world of change, fantasy hockey has come to depend on one constant. That is, you're a fool to draft an Islanders goalie. This time around, the Isles have shed Montoya from the mix, leaving 37 year old Nabokov standing as the most healthy and reliable option in net. He finished the season on the bench, but should be back to health by October. Nabokov was once a great fantasy goaltender, and he can be very good in spurts as he winds down his career.
Brendon Nash	D	MON
Rick Nash	LW	NYR	No more excuses. If Nash is ever going to emerge as more than a perennial 30-goal / 30 assists scorer, this is the time. He will finally get a shot at playing with line mates at his level. Don't get overly excited, but it's fair to expect a bump in production for the new Ranger.
Riley Nash	C	CAR
James Neal	LW	PIT	The Real Deal emerged last season as the winger the Pens have been craving for a decade. He formed instant chemistry with Malkin and his lethal shot started connecting from the first game of the season. His success was somewhat tied to Malkin, but even if Malkin goes down at some point, he has Crosby to fall back on. I'm comfortable enough with that scenario to take a first round chance on Neal repeating that magic.

Michal Neuvirth	G	WAS	With Vokoun leaving town, and Varlamov off in the Rocky Mountains, Neuvirth was all set to become the main man in D.C. Then Holtby happened. It remains to be seen how this split will play out, but the Caps will be hard pressed to deny Holtby first dibs at the crease in October. The potential is certainly there for a big season, but for now, best guess is he caps out at 20 wins.

Antti Niemi	G	SAN	Niemi's second season with the Sharks was much like his first. Another solid 34 wins to complement a respectable 2.42 GAA. He's still unchallenged for the #1 job and will see close to 70 games again this year if healthy. While the Sharks no longer get a regular mention with the league's elite, they're good enough to put wins on the table and keep Niemi as a safe, low-end #1 option.

Look for a big correction in 2012-13.
