Fantasy Analysis
Bobby Sanguinetti was drafted 21st overall in the 2006 draft by the Rangers. He tallied 50 points for the Charlotte Checkers last season, which was good for third in the AHL among defenseman. Sanguinetti also made his NHL debut last March, appearing in three games for the Canes without recording a point. (Updated 05/21/2012).
Sanguinetti, originally drafted by the Rangers in the first round (No. 21 overall) of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, is a high-profile defensive prospect who should give fantasy owners in keeper leagues something to think about ahead of the new season. He has definite upside moving the puck, as demonstrated by his gaudy assist totals in past junior and minor league campaigns. Sanguinetti did miss the better part of 2010-11 with a hip injury, but a successful recovery could put the former first-round pick on the fast track in Carolina's development system. The Hurricanes signed him to a one-year, two-way contract in the offseason, which will allow him to freely pinball between the NHL and AHL in 2011-12. (Updated 8/16/11)
