Can Thomas Vanek rebound fantasy-wise from a disappointing season?

As I type this on Thursday, and it gets published on Friday, I would like to wish a very Happy McDavid Day to any Oiler fans out there. A great fan base that deserves some reversal of fortunes. I hope it works out, and I hope that myself and all the other writers for Dobber Hockey get to conduct hours upon hours of research for superb Edmonton Oiler fantasy performers.

OK, glad to get that out of the way, now onto this week's frustrated (I mean featured) player. Remember Christmas time as a kid? You would put together a "wish list" of things you wanted to be wrapped under the tree. Every now and then, you would get a shiny new toy that just quite didn't live up to your standards, an item that kept you awake at night leading up to X-Mas, only to disappoint you come that special morning. Well, what I just described was the 2014-15 season for Minnesota Wild fans and fantasy hockey owners for a one Thomas Vanek. After signing a big, three-year, 19.5 million dollar deal in the summer of 2014 with the Wild, much was expected of Vanek. To say that his final numbers and putrid playoff point totals were disappointing would be an understatement. Last season was a horror show for both Vanek and fantasy owners, but is there hope for the upcoming campaign? Let's take a look.
