Fantasy Analysis
Clayton Stoner had just five points in 51 games last season, but did add some toughness with 71 hits and 80 blocks. (Updated 05/10/2012).
Stoner, who was Minnesota's third-round draft choice in 2004, made 57 appearances with the Wild last season, tallying two goals, seven assists and 96 penalty minutes. Those numbers are not likely to appease the general fantasy population, but he does help the Wild physically, having laid 110 hits on the opposition in 2010-11. At 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, Stoner is a big rearguard but still has room to grow as a 26-year-old player learning tough a defensive position. (Updated 8/16/11)
