Owen Tippett

Tippett spent the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign with AHL Springfield, racking up an impressive 19 goals and 40 points in 46 contests. The offseason departures of Mike Hoffman and Evgenii Dadonov have left the Panthers thin on the wings, so Tippett is poised to make the jump to the NHL in a full-time capacity in 2020-21, likely skating on Florida's top line and first power-play unit. It's hard to predict how he'll perform given his limited NHL sample size, but Tippett was drafted 10th overall in 2017 for a reason, and he showed he was ready to play at the professional level last year, making him an intriguing late-round pick with solid upside in this year's fantasy drafts.

Selected 10th overall in the 2017 draft, Tippett should push for a middle-six role with the Panthers this season. The winger has been an offensive dynamo in junior hockey, and he got a chance to dip his toe into the water at the NHL level back in 2017-18, scoring one goal in seven games. Tippett's minus-6 rating over that small sample suggests he still needs to work on his all-around game, but his scoring ability could stand out as soon as this season if he's able to land on a line with other skilled forwards.

Taken 10th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Tippett is a highly-regarded prospect, mostly for his potential on the offensive end. He's tallied 80 goals and 150 points in 111 games over the last two years with OHL Mississauga, where he'll once again play to start the 2018-19 campaign. The 19-year-old did earn a brief NHL stint last season, scoring a goal in seven games while averaging 11:07 of ice time. In future seasons, Tippett should glean plenty of fantasy potential and accommodate most fantasy formats.

The Panthers selected Tippett with the tenth overall pick in this year's draft, and for good reason. The 18-year-old winger flaunted his elite offensive potential last season, racking up 44 goals and 75 points in 60 games with the Mississauga Steelheads of the OHL. The 6-foot-2 Canadian is still raw, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him begin the 2017-18 campaign in the AHL, but he's also still with the big club less than one week before the start of the regular season, which means he should be on every fantasy owner's radar. If he's able to make the Panthers' Opening Night roster out of camp, Tippett could prove to be a fantastic value pick in the later rounds of drafts this season.
