Ok so here are my picks for sleepers and underrated players for the Northeast division
Boston Bruins
It has got to be Brad Marchand, his energy and skating ability coupled with the mega amount of time on the penalty kill, makes him a fun guy to watch. Look for him to show up more on the score sheet as he moves up in the depth chart.
Dennis Seidenberg is often overlooked in most leagues. Grab him especially if your league uses BS.
Montreal Canadians
The big surprise for me on this team until he got hurt recently was Max Pacioretty. 7 pts in 17 games 23 PIM and 38 hits he is a guy to watch for keeper leagues. Only 22 years old and trending up. Plays with a lot of confidence.
Tom Plekanec does not get enough respect as a top center. He makes my list of top 25 centers in the fantasy game today. 70 pts last season and over 200 SOG. Well on his way to get very close to those totals again this season
Buffalo Sabres
The guy to get on this team if you have room on your IR spots is Drew Stafford. The guy can score but he frustrates you because he can not stay on the ice. 15 Goals in 30 games. If he could remain health he should be a 35-40 goal scorer.
Ottawa Senators
Often forgotten is Nick Foligno. 17 pts so far this season he is 23 years old and is in his 4th NHL season. Who knew? An average player with a lot of potential. He plays on the power play but its tough to stomach his plus/minus. Currently –12.
Toronto Maple Leafs
One of the few bright spots on this team is Mikail Grabovski. 35 Pts this season so far and 11 PPP. By far the best producer on this team. My only question is can he keep up the pace. His best season was only 48 Pts. It would be nice to see him get 60+ for Toronto fans.
I will work on the Southwest division next hopefully I can get to the time to do get these out a bit faster.
