  Hidden Gems: 8 Metro Division Players to Watch | with Louis Boulet 10.09.2026 1ч 6мин

  The Hidden Gems series rolls into the Metropolitan Division.Blake is joined once again by Louis Boulet of LB-Hockey to break down eight players who may not be obvious fantasy hockey draft targets right now, but have something under the hood worth paying attention to. We’re digging into the microstats, skill sets, deployment questions and specific fantasy triggers that could turn these names into legitimate assets. This episode features:Kent Johnson — CBJ: Can the skill and transition game re-emerge after a nightmare 22-point season?Logan Stankoven — CAR: An elite underlying profile playing on one of hockey’s best 5v5 lines.Arseny Gritsyuk — NJD: Speed, controlled entries, rush creation and relentless forechecking, even if the immediate top-six path has become murkier.Emil Heineman — NYI: An elite one-timer, strong finishing profile and 247 hits make him a fascinating category-league option.Gabe Perreault — NYR: A cerebral playmaker whose patience and passing could help replace some of New York’s lost offensive creativity.Tyson Foerster — PHI: A legitimate goal scorer who could take another step if the shots and PP1 opportunity arrive.Tommy Novak — PIT: Top-six-looking transition and creation numbers trapped inside a 14-minute, PP2 role.Ryan Leonard — WSH: Heavy shot, interior offence, physicality and a fantasy toolkit that could force its way up the depth chart. These aren’t all sleepers, and we’re not telling you to draft every one of them. The goal is to know the names before the opportunity arrives.Who has the best chance to make the leap this season?Let’s get to BIZ.🏒 Welcome to Apples and Ginos – Your Ultimate Fantasy Hockey Edge!Every week we dive deep into fantasy hockey insights, player analysis, waiver wire pickups, trade targets, lineup tips, and more to help you dominate your league.
