Paul Cotter

In his three seasons as a full-time NHL player, Cotter has two double-digit goal-scoring campaigns. In both of those seasons, his shooting percentage was over 17 percent, a high mark to try to maintain year-over-year. Those two seasons, including last year’s numbers of 16 goals and six assists, bookend a season in which the 25-year-old scored just seven times, shooting 7.0 percent, though he had a career-high 25 points that year. Whether or not the goal-scoring is present or not, one thing remains constant and that's Cotter's ability to bring the boom. The physical forward threw a career-high 245 hits last season, the second-straight 200-hit season of his career. At the very least, it’s fair to expect another big physical season from Cotter, but to expect him to score enough goals to warrant fantasy consideration might not be as wise of a gamble.
