Sleeper: 

Tomas Hyka VGK – 5’11” 160 lb 6th round pick by the LA Kings in 2012

For the past three seasons, Hyka has been playing in the Czech league for BK Mlada Boleslav. In his first year he only played 22 games with 10 points. His breakout season came next with 30 points in 47 games. To be followed up the next year with 38 points in 48 games. Hyka turned in a strong first round series for BK last season with 5 points in 5 games (4 goals) before they were bounced out of the playoffs. This summer he signed a one year deal with the Vegas Golden Knights. Becoming the third player in franchise history. At 24, this is his first NHL training camp and although he didn’t make the team out of camp, he looked like he belonged in the preseason. He got sent down to the AHL Chicago Wolves but he’ll likely be one of the first call ups when injury or trades inevitably happen. Obviously another deep sleeper being that he’s not in the NHL right now but keep an eye on him to see how he does in the AHL this year. If he gets called up, he could play a part in the top 9 and second power play unit.
