Predators' Colton Sissons: Hoping for more than just fourth-line role

Sissons is hoping to increase his offensive responsibilities this season, the Tennessean reports.

Analysis:

Sissons opens the season replacing the departed Paul Gaustad on the Preds' fourth line, but coach Peter Laviolette sees him as a guy with offensive upside. "He's another player that I could call extremely smart," Laviolette said. "He's a good two-way player. ... I wouldn't say he's just a defensive player. I think he's got some good skill and some good upside with his offense as well." Sissons had back-to-back 25-goal seasons at AHL Milwaukee recently, so the potential is definitely there. He's a good sleeper candidate in deeper fantasy formats.
