Jon Litterine takes a look at the upcoming NHL Draft with an in-depth review of the top-31 overall prospects, including projected top pick Rasmus Dahlin.
2018 Fantasy Outlook
As a first-round draft selection in 2009, O'Brien was expected to ascend to the NHL level years ago, but it never happened. Almost a decade later, he's proven to be a solid producer at the AHL level but unable to get the job done at the highest rank. With just eight NHL goals to his name and none of them coming in the 10 games he played last year for Ottawa, O'Brien is likely to remain in the minors for the majority of the 2018-19 campaign. Barring an unprecedented rise to the top of the prospect pecking order, O'Brien won't be fantasy relevant in the near term.
