Not really Ken, there are many more good RW than LWs because coaches put them there. The players themselves can play both positions and have in many cases. It's just that this year, the Forecaster has decided to get very specific with their positions. The reason I chose the Forecaster in the first place was because it listed ALL of the possible positions a given player played. This is no longer the case.
