Filip Zadina, LW (162) -- The rookie is expected to compete for a top-six roster spot in training camp. His fantasy value obviously hinges on whether he makes the team, but if he does, the 18-year-old should be fantasy relevant in his first NHL season. Zadina led the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in rookie scoring with 82 points (44 goals, 38 assists) in 57 games last season and had another 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in nine playoff games. Zadina could find himself on a line with fantasy-relevant forwards Zetterberg (if healthy) and Thomas Vanek, and potentially on a power-play unit with Larkin and Anthony Mantha.
Anthony Mantha, LW/RW (170) -- The forward had an NHL career-high 48 points (24 goals, 24 assists) in 80 games and led the Red Wings in power-play goals (nine) and shooting percentage (12.6; min 15 games). Mantha could gain additional value in season-long fantasy leagues if he raises his SOG total (190) but should be considered valuable as a goal-scoring threat regardless. He finished second on the Red Wings (behind Larkin) with 10 multipoint games last season, including four three-point games. The 23-year-old will likely start the season on the top line with Larkin, making him worthy of a late-round flier.
Mike Green, D (198) -- The veteran defenseman was on pace for the highest point total of his Detroit tenure but missed 16 games with a neck injury. His 33 points (eight goals, 25 assists) and 22:05 of ice time per game, including 2:21 on the power play, led Red Wings defensemen (minimum 10 games). If Detroit's youth movement can reinvigorate its power play (17.5 percent; 24th in NHL), Green would have added fantasy value. Despite injury concerns, Green provides fantasy owners with the opportunity to get a No. 1 defenseman late in drafts.
