09/13/2011 15:53 2011-12 Draft Prep: Northwest Division preview
The Northwest Division might have produced the Stanley Cup runners-up in Vancouver, but Rotoworld's Peter Maingot says the rest of the division has its share of Fantasy stars, too.
The 19-year-old Hishon, selected 17th overall in last year's NHL draft, finished with 37 goals and 87 points in 50 games for OHL Owen Sound last season, despite missing 17 games due to injury. Hishon was signed to a three-year entry level contract by the Avs in March and is expected to challenge for a roster spot in training camp in September. However, in all likelihood, he will wind up opening the season in AHL Lake Erie. Hishon projects as a top-six forward someday, but is still a season or two away from making the jump to the NHL.
