Jason Pominville

Pominville is 32 and coming off what can be considered a down year offensively where he had 18 goals and 54 points, and. The right winger, who spends considerable time at the point on the power play, still skates very well and will bounce back for the 2015-16 campaign.

Last season Pominville was near the top of all possession statistics among Wild skaters, and was one of Ben Remington’s three stars of the season from Minnesota, despite his decline in goals. He should be available late in most pools (and possibly still around after the draft for a free-agent addition, depending on league depth), and should rebound to scoring around the 30-goal range again.

Pominville has played a lot with Mikael Granlund over the last two seasons. If Granlund can start to really produce points at the NHL level, the effects will trickle down to Pominville.
