Scheifele scored 22 goals and 75 points in 66 games with the Barrie Colts of the OHL. If he makes the team, expect him to play a relatively prominent role on a scoring line.

With PA Parenteau skating a good amount with the third line, the Isles may try El Nino on the top line to start the season. The former WHL standout scored a goal and as assist in his 9-game tryout last season.
Only Tomas Tatar ranks higher among the Red Wings' offensive prospects. While he should start the season in the AHL, make note of his name for the future.
Niederreiter sounds confident in his ability to make the team but will need to knock an established NHL player out of the way to do so. In his nine-game stint last season, the rookie posted a goal and an assist.
The 5th overall pick has nothing left to prove at the WHL level but the Islanders would probably prefer not to rush their bluechip prospect.
Schenn should continue his rugged play, hitting everything that moves. While he is not known for his offensive side, the 21-year-old has improved his counting stats in each of his three seasons. If your league format counts hits, blocked shots or shots on goal, Schenn should have some niche fantasy hockey value.
No direct fantasy hockey advice, just an excellent tidbit to remember down the road.
