The DobberHockey Panel 18-19 Predictions — Part 1

Welcome to Part 1 of the DobberHockey Experts Panel predictions, where we chime in with some personal fantasy hockey favorite picks going into the new season, FINALLY upon us as of tomorrow.

For this exercise, each member of the DobberHockey staff submitted his top selection in each the five following categories: sleeper, probable bust, dark horse, midseason callup, and bounce-back candidate. Moreover, for fantasy hockey planning's sake, we examined arguably the top 15 potential unrestricted free agents of next year's crop and opined as to what may develop by then, the summer of 2019: Will they re-sign, get traded, or pull a John Tavares and just let the clock run out?

Note that we'll have Part 2 tomorrow, our picks for the various NHL awards, so be sure to visit us then, too!

On to the picks below — have a great season of fantasy hockey, folks:
