/ Chris Wassel, Hockey, The Wire Troll

It is hard to believe that the second week of the Fantasy hockey season is just about over. So far, scoring still seems to be up and the Metropolitan Division is struggling with the Rangers, Capitals, Flyers, and Devils a combined 3-15-3.

The right wing position boasts a bit more in the depth department with some high upside potential even in the 20s and 30s. There is one player that we did not rank higher and that was Brent Burns. Why? There is a need to sometimes spotlight and hedge when it comes to fantasy projections. This is not an exact science. Alex Ovechkin is likely to be in the 90-to-100 point range when all is said and done. Patrick Kane won’t be not too far behind.
