Fantasy Analysis
It was a short second stint in the NHL for Zach Boychuk this time as he played in just three games before heading back. In 16 games with the Hurricanes, he has just two assists to his credit. However, he ranks second among Charlotte skaters in goals (14) and third in points (32), skating in 45 games on the AHL level this season, so you can probably expect him to return if the Canes need a replacement at some point.

The Hurricanes have yet to take the training wheels off Boychuk, a top prospect picked by the club in the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. He failed to make the team out of training camp, but a series of recalls afforded him the chance to play in 23 games with the Hurricanes in 2010-11. Still, the better chunk of his season was spent with AHL Charlotte, where he reached 65 points (22 G, 43 A) in just 60 games. Boychuk doesnt have ideal size for a center hes 5-foot-10, 185-pounds off the skates though he makes up for it by possessing quick wheels and scoring upside. However, he isnt worth endorsing outside of keeper leagues until he can start playing full-time for the Hurricanes. (Updated 10/4/11)
