In fantasy drafts, it's often the players we select that can define our team outcomes. This article identifies specific players that may underperform, using their average draft positions (ADP) as a gauge.

Brady Tkachuk of the Ottawa Senators is highlighted for being potentially overvalued, along with Sergei Bobrovsky from the Florida Panthers, Andrei Svechnikov from the Carolina Hurricanes, and veteran Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.

Additionally, Thatcher Demko of the Vancouver Canucks carries injury concerns into the season, while Brandon Montour of the Seattle Kraken faces an uphill battle after a disappointing previous season.

Lastly, Luke Hughes from the New Jersey Devils is not only recovering from a shoulder injury but may also lose power-play time due to the return of teammate Dougie Hamilton.
