Default Next Seasons Sleeper Picks

I'm in an auction style draft and am looking for some recommendations on sleeper picks or young players that might be a little under the radar. Any thoughts?

May or may not be under the radar, but Marcus Foligno in Buffalo had 13pts in 14 games. He is big and if he plays the whole year, could put up some points with the Sabres.

Adam Henrique, Cody Hodgson, Carl Hagelin, Andrew Shaw

I don't know how under the radar these guys truly are considered, but I think all of them will have huge season coming up

Need more parameters:

How big is your draft? What are the number of teams and number of players selected. Makes a big difference if it's 12 teams x 16 players or if, like our league, it's 30 teams x 23 players.

Is it just points based?

Coutourier may really break out next season. Brayden Schenn as well.

Jokinen (to hold close to 60 points) or Burmistrov on the Jets. Current Line up guess puts the Jets 1b line as Kane-Jokinen and Burmistrov.

Depending what Detroit does the rest of the off-season, but Brendan Smith may get some nice minutes with that club.

M. Granlund (MIN)
S. Voynov (LA)
M. Johansson (WAS)
O. Ekman Larson (PHX)
A. Salak (G) (CHI)
A. Loktionov (LA)
J. Lindstrom (COL)
B. Connolly (TB)
B. Pirri (CHI)
J. Schwartz (STL)
G. Nyquist (DET)
C. Eakin (DAL)

Off the top of my head, assuming you are in the deeper league...

Huberdeau is another rookie to look out for.

Emerson Etem may be a sleeper pick if he makes the Anaheim roster.

Not sure if it is exactly under the radar but Heatley 53 pts and Kouvi 44 pts in55 games will likely be PPG players with Parise and Suter and Grandlund making Minnesota a higher scoring team.

There is a chnance that Tom Gilbert (if he get paired with Suter) puts up a lot more points than has become his norm as well.

Giordano could continue his offensive improvement that got side tracked last year with the addition of Wideman to ease the burden....

He might have to get paired at the PP point with Wideman to provide defense coverage while still being able to generate shots on net.

Jordan Caron in Boston could be another who could have a big year where he puts up 50 points.

Ryan Ellis could put up some big points if he is paired on the PP with Shea Weber.

Zibanejad, Scheifele, Huberdeau, Strome could also be good sleeper picks.... assuming they graduate to the NHL.

It should be a great year for rookies next season.

Jacob Silfverberg is another one for Ottawa.

A less heralded prospect but he was the MVP of the Swedish Elite League last season, regular season and playoffs.
