Fantasy Analysis
After suffering the injury, team doctors told Tyler Seguin that he couldn't do further damage to his hand by playing, so he continued to do, often at a high level. The second-year forward ended up leading the Bruins in both goals (29) and points (67) in 81 games, while recording a plus-34 rating. Assuming a full recovery from his hand issue, heading into the 2012-13 season, the future is bright (with an arrow pointing up with regards to his fantasy prospects) for the electric Seguin, who possesses game-changing speed and a laser shot.

While Seguin scored just 22 points in 74 regular season games as a rookie, he flashed signs of future stardom with occasional displays of his blazing speed and laser shot. Expect an increase in production from him this coming season, but superstardom may have to wait just a bit as the second overall pick in the 2010 draft continues to mature both physically and as a player.
