Fantasy draft preparation rolls on in our latest top-10 list, this week serving up the best right wingers in the game that any GM would be lucky to get a piece of. At this point of the offseason we're running out of superlatives when it comes to describing the finest forwards in the NHL, so let’s keep it short and sweet: these are the top-10 right-wing targets coming off fantasy hockey draft boards.

10) Mat Barzal

On any other team in basically any other market, Barzal is likely already a triple-digit-point player with superstar status – that's how good this kid can be. Injuries, inconsistent play, and a team lacking in scoring punch have all been factors holding back Barzal from blowing the doors off the league. A big bounce-back campaign a season ago, Barzal put up an 80-piece of points and a career high 240 shots on net while also chipping in with decent peripheral fantasy category value with 54 hits, 52 blocks, and 34 penalty minutes. The Islanders were awful on special teams a year ago which plays into Barzal barely making this list, but as one of the best skaters in the game with a newly-added offensive-minded linemate in Anthony Duclair, Barzal is primed for another big year.

9) Jesper Bratt

Bratt continues to elevate his game, emerging as a core piece of the Devils’ burgeoning offense. Known for his crafty playmaking and quick feet, Bratt has quietly become one of the NHL’s most underrated wingers on a seriously talented young team poised to take the NHL by storm this campaign. Coming off a career year of 83 points and 248 shots, he brings both consistency and elite offensive upside. The chemistry he's developed with young stars like Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier has made him an integral part of New Jersey’s top-six. If your fantasy team needs an injection of speed and dynamic offensive potential, Bratt is the kind of player who flies under the radar but delivers major fantasy value.

8) Wyatt Johnston

A natural centre who is likely to shift into Joe Pavelski's spot on Roope Hintz' wing this season, Johnston has breakout written all over him. The 21-year-old Toronto product has already shown flashes of brilliance while flaunting an innate ability to score big goals in clutch situations for a dangerous Dallas Stars club. It might be a bold prediction, but Johnston should be counted on for 40-goal production with power-play upside alongside Jason Robertson and Hintz – a combination that is set to pop off.

7) Mitch Marner

Marner is one of the NHL's premier playmakers, consistently among the league leaders in assists and overall production. His ability to control the pace of the game, thread passes through tight lanes, and create space for his teammates makes Marner a perennial fantasy favorite who also happens to feed the puck to the best shooter in the game in Auston Matthews. Despite offseason trade distractions and obvious mounting pressure to perform and get it done in the playoffs, Marner has to be considered one of the most reliable fantasy options in the NHL who can change the course of games with his offensive skill set.

6) Adrian Kempe

Somebody throw some respect on Adrian Kempe's name, he is one of the most underrated forwards in the league who deserves a lot more credit for his all-around game and elite fantasy value. Last season's 75 points, 246 shots, 112 hits, and 72 penalty minutes cement Kempe as one of the best right wingers out there, with a lethal shot and physical edge that fantasy hockey GMs crave.

5) Zach Hyman

Expecting a drop off from Hyman is a wise angle to consider, but that doesn't change the fact he's a lock on this list as a player who not only benefits from a high motor and aggressive style of play, but also clearly the elite names around him and one of the most potent offenses the NHL has seen in a long time. Hyman’s career has taken off since joining the Oilers, but his relentless work ethic and net-front presence make him an extremely attractive option. Hyman is particularly valuable in banger leagues as his gritty, physical style of play often fills up categories. Fifty-plus goals isn't happening again, but the 30-35 range still serves Hyman up as a target that will come off fantasy draft boards within the first three or four rounds.

4) William Nylander

Willy Styles is a superstar in the making with game-changing speed and one of the best releases in hockey that has him in line for the first triple-digit-point season of his career. Looking to build on his 98-point campaign from a year ago, Nylander has all the offensive tools and skating ability to be a top-10 scorer in the NHL once again. If he's around at anything past the second round, it's a steal of a draft pick. Expect another sensational season from Nylander, even if the Maple Leafs struggle.

3) Mikko Rantanen

Few wingers in the NHL are as complete as Mikko Rantanen. The six-foot-four, 215-pound Finn has the size to dominate physically, the hands to dangle through defenders, and the shot to beat goalies from anywhere in the offensive zone. Rantanen's 209 combined points over the last two seasons prove his elite scoring potential, locking him into the top-three at this position. What makes him even more valuable is his ability to contribute across the board, whether it's goals, assists, shots, or power-play points, Rantanen brings it at an elite level while playing alongside one of the best in the business in Nathan MacKinnon.

2) David Pastrnak

Not many players to ever lace 'em up shoot the puck as lethally accurate as Pasta. Even with the bulk of the offensive load and responsibility of the Boston Bruins scoring placed solely on his shoulders, Pastrnak is entering his prime as a fantasy target that will be off draft boards in the first round. The addition of Elias Lindholm as Pasta's new centreman is an interesting situation to monitor as if the duo forms chemistry early, both could see an uptick in production and fantasy value.

1) Nikita Kucherov

Kucherov became only the fifth player in NHL history to record 100 assists and he just was gifted one of more effective scorers of the past few seasons in Jake Guentzel, so look out. Straight up, this man is a magician with the puck on his tape and makes everything look easy, with deft stick-handling and razor sharp vision that allow him to dictate the pace of the game. After Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, don't be surprised if Kucherov is the third name taken in drafts of all depths and formats. Anything short of 100 points would be disappointing, but given the balance and talent Tampa has, expect another MVP-level season from the dangerous Russian.
