Fantasy Top Story Fantasy MLB Fantasy NBA Fantasy NFL Fantasy NHL Ovechkin easily wins top fantasy left winger Alexander Ovechkin took almost 200 more shots than any other left winger. Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Washington's Alexander Ovechkin did everything he was supposed to do as a No.1 overall draft choice. He led his position in goals (56), assists (54), power play points (46) and took almost 200 more shots than any other left winger. But for fantasy owners, the best value at left wing came in the form of a ninth-round draft choice - New Jersey Devil's left winger Zach Parise. Parise won the TSN Best Bargain Fantasy Award for Left Wingers in 2009 with an across the board display worthy of a first-round pick. He finished second at his position in goals (45), fourth in assists (49) and second in shots on goal (364). Meanwhile, Dany Heatley was a top-five pick on Draft Day, who didn't perform up to those levels. His statistics weren't bad...for a fourth-round pick, but you paid a pretty steep price if you picked in because you could have gotten the same stats from Simon Gagne or Shane Doan or a number of other guys and improved yourself at different position 2008-09 Left Winger Rankings Rank Player Team G A +/- PIM PPP SOG 1) Alexander Ovechkin WAS 56 54 8 72 46 528 2) Zach Parise NJ 45 49 30 24 30 364 3) Alexander Semin WAS 34 45 25 77 30 223 4) Daniel Sedin VAN 31 51 24 36 24 285 5) Ilya Kovalchuk ATL 43 48 -12 50 36 275 6) Patrik Elias NJ 31 47 18 32 31 247 7) Henrik Zetterberg DET 31 42 13 36 30 309 8) Scott Hartnell PHI 30 30 14 143 13 210 9) Rick Nash CLB 40 39 11 52 19 263 10) Michael Cammalleri CGY 39 43 -2 44 34 255 11) Shane Doan PHX 31 42 5 72 25 230 12) Simon Gagne PHI 34 40 21 42 25 221 13) Dany Heatley OTT 39 33 -11 88 26 258 14) Ray Whitney CAR 24 53 2 32 30 219 15) Patrick Marleau SJ 38 33 16 18 18 251 16) Alex Burrows VAN 28 23 23 150 0 175 17) Slava Kozlov ATL 26 50 -14 44 43 165 18) Thomas Vanek BUF 40 24 -1 44 26 211 19) Jason Blake TOR 25 38 -2 40 18 302 20) David Booth FLA 31 29 10 38 16 246 Comments?
