Yandle

Who is the best kept secret in the NHL?  Without a question, it's Keith Yandle.  Playing in the desert, and on the west coast in front of 10,000 fans per night certainly helps this cause.  If he played for the Leafs he would be considered a Norris candidate, which I think could be in the future for this young star.  I've been big on this guy since last year and at 24 years of age he is starting to show his real potential. Yandle didnt even make the US olympic team last year, but right now he is arguably playing better than any other D-man who was on that squad.  This just shows how far this guy has progressed in such little time.  With 42 points he leads the Coyotes in scoring, and is a big reason for the team's surprising yet continued success.  You can bet Yandle will recieve a big pay raise and lots of attention from the big name markets once his contract is up in Phoenix.
