    Question Offensive upside breakout candidates at RW

    Interested to hear what others think about those 2-3 and 4 year players due for a breakout who qualify as RW
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

    Was hoping you had a list handy!

    My boy Cam Atkinson comes to mind. Strome, Toffoli, MacKinnon, Silfverberg, Yakupov too...

    Off the top my head I would offer up

    The Hayes brothers
    Pastrnak
    Jaskin or Rattie
    Brett Ritchie err Ritchie brothers

    Dobber hit most of the guys I was going to say. Zibanejad is one who I think could take another step, don't know if he keeps his RW eligibility though. Kevin Hayes could hit 50+. Then a couple long shots who I'm watching are Rakell and Rieder.

    I assume you consider Kucherov and Nyquist to have already broken out? I agree with Pastrnak, Toffoli, and Yakupov. People have been waiting for Jurco to come around for a couple years now.

    I'm going with Connoly. Little bold but I think he has a great camp and with the lack of defined roles at RW on BOS, he works his way to the 1RW. The guy has pedigree and was overlooked on a crazy deep TB squad. 60pts.
    Main Squad: H2H Multicat Points
    10 Team 16 Keepers

    Marko Dano could be someone to watch out for. He had 21 pts in 35 games last year along with a healthy does of SOG and hits (for those in multi-cat leagues).

    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting

    I'd keep a close eye on Oliver Bjorkstrand. Maybe a little premature, but he's on my radar for sure, and also on Brandan Ross', over at Dobber Prospects (see article).

    Keep 3, +7$ each year. Keep 5 farm (cost 1$ to dress).[/I]

    F: Kucherov (41$), Pettersson (15$), Marner (29$), Wheller (55$), Landeskog (18$), Horvat (15$), Meier (16$), Fiala (1$), Beauvillier (1$), Getzlaf (1$)
    D: Barrie (17$), Fox (1$), Girard (1$), Trouba (2$)

    Without tipping my hand too much, I'll say that two of those mentioned ITT will be facing off in next week's Cage Match. I'll try to come back and post a link when it's live.

    Good call on Scheifele, but I think that most consider him to be a center. He did take 1100 faceoffs last year.
