NHL.com fantasy rank: 86<\/p>\n
Dallas is one of two teams (Montreal Canadiens) with six players in NHL.com\u2019s top 100 overall fantasy rankings, including three Finland-born players in Rantanen, Hintz and defenseman Miro Heiskanen<\/a>\u00a0(89th). A torn hamstring cost Hintz significant playing time last season, including Dallas\u2019 Stanley Cup Playoff run, which ended in six games against the Minnesota Wild in the Western Conference First Round. The 29-year-old had 44 points (15 goals, 29 assists), 19 on the power play, and 126 shots on goal through 53 games last season. Hintz should play in Dallas\u2019 top-six forward group and see significant power-play time bringing exposure to the Stars\u2019 top wings in Robertson and Rantanen. Hintz is a fringe top 50 forward in NHL.com\u2019s rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n NHL.com point projection: 78<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Other DAL players on preseason draft lists:<\/p>\n Potential draft bargain:\u00a0Miro Heiskanen, D (point projection: 65)<\/p>\n Bounce-back candidates: Matt Duchene<\/a>, F (point projection: 65); Tyler Seguin<\/a>, F (point projection: 55); Thomas Harley<\/a>, D (point projection: 49)<\/p>\n Sleeper: Jamie Benn<\/a>, F (point projection: 47)<\/p>\n Deep sleepers: Sam Steel<\/a>, F (point projection: 40); Esa Lindell<\/a>, D (point projection: 31)<\/p>\n Breakout candidates: Justin Hryckowian<\/a>, F (point projection: 42)<\/p>\n
