These players may be among the most sought after fantasy hockey players. Elias Lindholm scored a hat trick in the Hurricanes 5-1 win over the Sabres. Selected with the 5th pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the Canes have high expectations for Lindholm who may one day take over for Eric Staal as the leader in Carolina....Carolina D-man Ryan Murphy added an assist in last night's game giving him 5 points in 4 pre-season games. Perhaps Murphy can make a decent jump in points after scoring 12 in 48 games last year as he becomes more comfortable at the NHL level....Boston Bruin Ryan Spooner had a2 goals and an assist against the NY Islanders last night showing his offensive prowess but that came with most of the Bruin veterans receiving the night off. The Bruins are set up front at Center with David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron but if either are to miss time to an injury, Spooner just may slot in one of their spots....The Ottawa Senators are hoping that Center Mika Zibanejad will one day develop into one of the top 2 centers on the team after being chosen 6th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. With 2 assists last night and a 33-point effort last season in 69 NHL games, Zibanejad may be poised to jump into the 40-point range as he is slotted behind Kyle Turris and David Legwand for now.....James van Riemsdyk is looking like he is going to eclipse last year's 61-point effort as he a goal and 2 assists against Detroit last night giving him 6 points in 5 pre-season games. His future is now...Here are 2 names to keep an eye on as they are having a tremendous pre-season and they are Tampa Bay Lightning's Vladislav Namestnikov and Nikita Kucherov who have 7 and 6 points respectively. Namestnikov's points are all assists while 5 of Kucherov's points are goals.  The future looks bright for these two young Russian forwards.
