Fantasy Analysis
Brandon Sutter probably will not crack 20 goals on the season, but his 17 on the year are serviceable for a defensive forward. Sutter's value lies in what he does for Carolina defensively. His three shorthanded goals are among the league leaders in that category. (Updated 04/03/2012).

03/17/2012 17:07 Brent, Sutter goals lead to 'Canes win
Tim Brent and Brandon Sutter scored in a 48-second span of the third period Saturday and the Carolina Hurricanes rallied past the Minnesota Wild 5-3.
One of the brightest forwards in Carolina's system is Sutter, who signed a contract to remain with the club for at least three more seasons. His point totals dropped from 40 (21 G, 19 A) in 2009-10, all the way down to 29 (14 G, 15 A) last year, though he did have a plus-13 rating in the most recent campaign, which was far and away the best differential of any Hurricane. The rapid emergence of Calder Trophy winner Jeff Skinner takes some of the spotlight off Sutter, but he should not be a forgotten man in the fantasy realm on draft day. Expect close to 35-40 points from Sutter if he can log another full season's worth of hockey. (Updated 10/4/11)
