Sutter could receive a short-term fantasy bump if he centers Pittsburgh's second line with Evgeni Malkin and Pascal Dupuis. The Penguins may move Malkin from center to wing for Week 1, giving Sutter a chance to move up from the third line. The team wants to keep Malkin's responsibilities to a minimum -- he's practiced a grand total of one time during training camp -- but wants to keep his prodigious talent in the lineup. Pittsburgh also wants to reward Sutter's performance in the 2103-14 playoffs (5G, 2A in 13 games). He's averaged better than a half point per game just once in six NHL seasons and that five years ago. Still, he could provide fantasy owners with sneaky fantasy value early on.
