Three young forwards we would stash before everyone else does
The price of a young scorer tends to jump the moment he earns a better role. These are the names to watch first.

The best time to buy a young forward is just before the rest of your league notices him. That window is short, and it usually closes the moment he moves up the lineup. Stashing a few names now costs very little and can pay off for years.
Anaheim is an obvious place to start. Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier give the Ducks two young forwards with real offensive tools, and rebuilding teams are usually willing to let talent play through mistakes.

I had the opposite experience, but my league's scoring is unusual.
