Wild West – The Week That Was (Jan 13 2020)

 

This will be my first The Wild West column after doing the Frozen Tools Forensic column for almost a year and I’m pretty excited to get going. Inspired by the original Wild West writer Ryan Ma, I’d like to focus on weekly happenings in and around the Western Conference of the NHL and look at each team and players or trends that might interest people in their fantasy pools.
