In one of my leagues, we are currently running a draft for FA's who have "0" NHL GP. I know its hard to answer this without seeing everyones roster and minor league systems, but I was wondering if anyone wants to throw out any names of guys who may have seemed far away last year but had solid years and could actually be worth picking up.

I will give some examples.

Sean Kuraly was a player who was taken last year in the 5th round by SJ and really wasnt on anyones radar until his recent performance at the US Jr Evaluation Camp. I realize hes still a few years away but is now on peoples radar.

After reading the daily ramblings on the front Dobber page, Angus mentions Sami Vatanen as a good possibility to make the Ducks this year. He would be a guy most would consider "flying under the radar" in a lot of leagues.

So who are your hidden gems that you have either recently picked up or are watching and looking to scoop up?

Patrick maroon from anaheim, might get a few looks this year and is a big power forward.

John Mcfarland Florida. Think he will finally put all of his tools to use.

Brenden Dillon - Dallas
Kevin Connauton - Vancouver
Michael Sgarbossa - Colorado
Alex Chiasson - Dallas

Are a few.

Sgarbossa especially is one to look out for. He could make the team outta training camp. Improving every year, coaches love him. Finished top scorer in the O last year.

I like Angus's list. You could even add - Damien Brunner (Det) / Tyler Johnson (Tbl) & Michael Latta (Nsh)

Good list, I also like Reilly Smith and Austin Smith from Dallas.

Matej Stransky is yet another Dallas player I like, although it will be another year (or two) before he starts getting any NHL talk. Nikita Kucherov could be a good choice....last summer no one knew if he was interested in the NHL, now he's playing next season in the QMJHL. Real nice upside.

Eric Gelinas, Taylor Fedun, and Paul Postma (he has 4 GP maybe not eligible) are some potential surprises at defense.
