Biggest surprises and sleepers of the 2011 season

I will Start with the Atlantic division
We all know the big guns on every team. The Malkins, Crosbys, Oveckins, Parise, But do we know some often left behind players that have a big fantasy impact. Those guys that don’t seem to get drafted but always seem to show up on the score sheet. Well here are a few from each division one day at a time
New Jersey Devils
This was tough this year but I chose Andy Greene defenseman. He usually has 20 or so assists but blocks a lot of shots. Also David Clarkson people were high on him in keeper leagues but he is having a tough season. Good all round player average stats in all categories. He should get better
New York Rangers
A lot of choices on this team but often over looked is Ryan Callahan RW. If you’re in a league where a lot of stats count this guy should be high on your draft next season. Big hit guy. Very good SOG and has been a scoring machine before he got hurt this season
Also look for Brandon Prust and Brandon Dubinsky.
New York Islanders
It’s got to be Josh Bailey. This kid had the midas touch in the beginning of the season hard to believe he only has 12 Pts in 30 games. He always seems to be on the score sheet. Look for him to have a big year next season the kid is just 21.
Philadelphia Flyers
I think everyone has heard of Sergei Bobrovsky by know so he is not much of a surprise. But man did he jump on the Fantasy seen. Another young Goalie. 17 wins this season, .917 SV% and a 2.53 GAA. I will take that in any league. Lets hope he has a good sophomore season.
Pittsburgh Penguins
To me the biggest surprise this season was Matt Cooke. 19 points halfway through the season and oh yeah don’t forget the PIM and hits. He seems to be living up to that 2 million-dollar salary.

Next post I will look at the Northeast division
