Default Players who suck

Here is a list of players who suck but for some reason still find their way onto fantasy teams throughout the year. You'll never catch me dead drafting, or picking up, any of these players:

Brad Boyes
Andrei Markov
Dustin Penner
Devon Setoguchi
Victor Hedman
Michael Frolik
Shawn Horcoff
Jay Bouwmeester
and Cam Fowler.

Which players do you think suck but somehow their name still pops up in fantasy league for some strange reason?

Markov doesnt "suck". He's simply injured all the time. When healthy, he's at least a 45 point dman over 82 games.

He's never healthy and therefore, from a fantasy standpoint, he sucks and is worthless.

I think you're confusing Cam Fowler with Cam Barker. The latter certainly does suck. But the former is still only 20 years old and has already shown glimpses of solid potential. Not many 20 year old d-men can already boast a 40 point NHL season on their resume.

+1, as Fowler is still a work in progress and obviously has legit potential.

Or SCOTT GOMEZ. Yes even after his marvellous performance Thursday night, he's still putrid.

Frolik, Horcoff and Connolly are the only ones mentioned so far that are not on someone's team in my league, and I had Connolly up until a month ago.

I'll be fair and give you Fowler as still having potential, but he needs to work on his plus minus (and yes, Cam Barker's name needs to be firmly entrenched on this list).

A couple other notables:

Derick Brassard
Ales Hemsky
Tomas Kaberle

And a few goalies:

Corey Crawford
Steve Mason
Dwayne Roloson
