Rookie Left Wingers
Who are some lesser-known players you think will stick with their big clubs this season that can/will play LW? Have a shortage of LW'ers on my deep dynasty team and would like to add a few names to the list of players I'll be keeping an eye on.
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Some names I have so far:
Lawson Crouse (not exactly lesser known but holding him on the farm team)
Anthony Beauvillier (long-shot for this year)
Josh Anderson
Daniel Carr (probably a lock to play in MTL on LW or RW)
Austin Czarnik (could start on the wing)
Pierre-Luc Dubois (also not lesser-known but could start on the wing this season IMO)
Sven Andrighetto
Unfortunately only a few are natural left-wingers. Having a real hard time finding LW potential-rookies.

Josh Leivo
Curtis McKenzie
Brandon Pirri
Marko Dano
Matt Puempel
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Mikko Rantanen.... I am not sure if he is LW or RW...
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
He prefers playing right wing, and honestly I haven't been impressed when he's played left wing. Just seems like one of those players who are better when playing their off-wing.Originally Posted by PenguinHunter
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Would love to be able to pick up this caliber of player but unfortunately in my league this type is long-gone.
32-man roster and 10-man farm team X 20 teams = 840 players already taken.
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Frank Vatrano and Josh Leivo are a couple I targeted in a deep dynasty for LW help

Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Here are some guys who have already been mentioned, but I think deserve having their names repeated:
Frank Vatrano
Sven Andrighetto
Pierre-Luc Dubois
And here is one name new to the thread, but I think worth saying as I believe he'll at least get a taste of the NHL this year (and it seems like people have forgotten about him): Michael Dal Colle

Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Another Dal Colle amd Andrighetto vote.... I really liked A last year and though he got sent back down looked good in his showings
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Are you mentioning Dubois because of where some platforms have him as a LW or because you see him as a LW? I know the Blue Jackets see him as their future #1 center, not a LW.

Re: Rookie Left Wingers
I see him playing wing in the NHL for awhile at least, as many young centres do when they first break in to the bigs (think Galchenyuk) and because I was pretty sure he played the wing while in Cape Breton. Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, I did some further research, and found that the Screaming Eagles have him listed as a LW on their official roster page from last year.

Re: Rookie Left Wingers
Gotcha. Just curious on your recommendation there. The Screaming Eagles may have him listed as a LW, but he actually played a good portion of the year last year at center as they were transforming him into that and that's what the Blue Jackets drafted him for.

Re: Rookie Left Wingers
I also think there will be a chance he starts as a winger in CBJ. Posted about Galchenyuk similarities in another thread. Having only played part of a season as a centre, maybe he'll need to adjust to the NHL before he adjusts to the NHL as a centre.
Re: Rookie Left Wingers
That's why we can expect him to go back to Jr for the year unless he does something impressive in camp and his 9 games.
They want him to work on being a center.
