Guzzwell take a look at three sleeper picks from the Western Conference
Due to working on this year's Dobber Fantasy Hockey Guide while also in the middle of a house renovation, needless to say time has been very precious this week. Rather than pulling together a full article, this week's Wild West column is a sneak peek into the Top 20 Sleeper Picks in the West. The full list can be found in Dobber's Fantasy Hockey Guide which comes out August 01, along with other in-depth contributions by Dobber and all of the other great writers on the site. In the meantime I thought I would share a few sleepers from the Western Conference while we all await the release of The Guide and prepare for our upcoming drafts.
Patrick Maroon, LW, Anaheim. After a decent 2013-2014 rookie campaign that saw the 26-year-old Maroon post 29 points in 62 games, a jump to the 50 point plateau isn't out of the question in 2014-2015. If the Dany Heatley experiment fails in Anaheim, expect Maroon to get a shot on the first line with studs Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. Even if an experiment on the top line flounders, the consolation prize of a regular shift with Ryan Kesler will improve Maroon's numbers regardless. Factor in Maroon's PIM totals from last year (he finished with 101 PIMs) and we have a serviceable up and coming multi-cat contributor who is worth a later round pick.
He still hasn't tweeted, but you can follow Dallas on Twitter @MX_hockey
