With Brian on vacation, Elan brings in a ringer in Chris Wassel, senior fantasy hockey writer at dobberhockey.com and daily fantasy writer for FanVice, to talk some August Fantasy Hockey. Chris presents a list of players he thinks the majority of projections will peg incorrectly for the next season and of course the conversation veers at times towards other players and general fantasy strategy.

Thanks for coming on Chris!
