He’s still just 18, but Landeskog has a man’s body, the demeanor to use it to push opponents off the puck, and the elite skills to create offense. He’s set to play on Colorado’s second line – but easily could jump to the first forward unit – and is a lock to be in the Calder mix all season long.

Last season, the three Calder Trophy finalists scored 30 goals -- which would be a great season for the former Kitchener Ranger. In leagues with deeper rosters, the 18-year-old would definitely make a solid addition to your fantasy roster. The 2011 second overall pick also is a must-have in any dynasty league.

Back when the Sharks traded for Burns we argued his lack of value could derive from not playing top-pairing minutes. While we remain highly bullish on the talented Burns, his value will not exponentially rise until he receives those minutes as he essentially upgrades Jason Demers.
