ESPN Fantasy Hockey Analysis Flags Landeskog as Sleeper, Vladar as Bust Ahead of Draft Season
A new ESPN fantasy hockey guide highlights players it says are being drafted too high or too low relative to expected production, including forward Gabriel Landeskog and goaltender Dan Vladar.
ESPN has published a fantasy hockey draft guide identifying players it believes are undervalued or overvalued heading into the new NHL season, according to the outlet's report.
The article, titled "Sleepers and busts: Draft Landeskog, pass on Vladar," is part of ESPN's ongoing fantasy hockey coverage aimed at helping fantasy managers prepare for their drafts, the outlet said.
According to ESPN, the piece singles out forward Gabriel Landeskog as a player fantasy managers should consider drafting, suggesting he may outperform his current draft position. The report also names goaltender Dan Vladar as a player ESPN recommends avoiding, or a potential "bust," indicating his expected fantasy value may not match where he is typically being selected in drafts.
The guide is framed around the broader question of which players are being drafted too high or too low compared to their anticipated fantasy hockey production this season, per ESPN.
ESPN's fantasy staff regularly produces such rankings and draft-strategy pieces ahead of the NHL season to assist fantasy hockey participants in making roster decisions, the outlet noted.
