<h2>No-brainers</h2>
<p>Players you should be drafting in all standard formats:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Semyon Varlamov: </strong>Regrouped to finish the season on a solid note.</li>
<li><strong>Gabriel Landeskog: </strong>The new captain can only expect to improve on his 22-goal rookie season.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Deep stuff</h2>
<p>Players you’ll take as a flier at the end of your draft or in deeper leagues. &nbsp;Think 12-16 teams with multiple forward and util spots.</p>
<div>
<ul>
<li><strong>P.A. Parenteau: </strong>Heavy on the PIMs and assists last season but will that success translate to Colorado?</li>
<li><strong>Paul Stastny: </strong>Dimishing totals and a deep center position should leave Stastny on waivers.</li>
<li><strong>Matt Duchene: </strong>The only way to go is up, right?</li>
<li><strong>Steve Downie: </strong>PIM monster but without one of the top Lightning centers, can he contribute on the scoresheet?</li>
<li><strong>Erik Johnson: </strong>Here’s hoping he returns back to 30+ points.</li>
</ul>
