Just as an example:
Kopitar: 81 GP 59 pts
Klingberg: 68 GP 33 pts
Slafkosky: 78 GP 55 pts
Maybe these guys know something the rest of us don't know (:
I had read that ESPN's projections was drawing some heavy fire. So, I checked it out. I'm at a loss as to what to say about this. Give it a quick look for your reading enjoyment but I wouldn't really recommend using this as a source of information for fantasy hockey (:

The worst has to be Marchand at 46 points in 66 games.
While they still project Pastrnak to be over 100 points.

Apparently Bouchard is only going to manage 17 power play points this year. ESPN must know that the Oilers are going to go for a 5-forward power play in December.
Also, ESPN is not aware of where Tarasenko is playing this year. Must not get access to capfriendly.com or the Ottawa Sun at ESPN.

Fantasy Football Guy: "Sure - How hard could it be?"
These are excellent projections, just right spot on.
They are so powerful that in fairness to my league I have sent them to all other 11 team managers to ensure they have access to the same powerful information I do.
