What about sleeper d-men?

What about sleeper d-men?

Rookies:
Charlie McAvoy - not much of a sleeper anymore
Mikhail Sergachev - almost made the NHL last year, starting in Tampa's top 4
Victor Mete - starting next to Weber but make sure he lasts beyond 9 games before committing
Brandon Montour - could benefit as long as Lindholm and Vatanen are out. Was a huge scorer in the AHL

Non-rookie
Jake Gardiner - not sure if he counts but he seems very slept on for some reason
Jared Spurgeon - another guy that put up good numbers who poolies don't seem to like
Dmitry Orlov - starting on the top pairing, 33 points last year, definitely primed for a boost
Nathan Beaulieu - modest point increases each year and BUF has thin depth on D
Cody Franson/Connor Murphy - one of them is going to get decent minutes on what should be a good CHI PP, maybe a wait-and-see
