2024-25 Potential Sleepers For Fantasy Hockey

Itās still August, so we need to take ADP numbers with a grain of salt; but with that in mind, it should be stated that Viktor Arvidsson has a very real opportunity to outperform his current average draft position of 162.3 (14th Round).
Arvidsson may have only played 18 regular season games last year, but during that stretch the 31-year old played at a 68-point pace, and he has never played alongside Leon Draisaitl and Jeff Skinner.
In terms of individual production, over the past three seasons, Arvidsson ranks 10th in the entire league at 11.05 SOG/60, 6th in iCF/60 and 130th in Goals/60 at 0.93 – tied with players like Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond; and ahead of Dylan Cozens, Tim Stutzle and Seth Jarvis.
The downside for Arvidsson in Edmonton is that he is going to be very limited in power play time on ice; but a two-time 30+ goal scorer will very likely outperform his ADP next season.
