Prospects
I'm looking to add 1 or 2 youngsters to my roster. My team is not bad right now,but I'm up against a few stacked teams in my league/division. I'm willing to wait a couple years for these guys to develop. Please rank the following players.
Coyle
Khokhlachev
Kreider
Kuznetzov
Nyquist
Saad
Schwartz
Silfverberg
Sgarbossa
Ps. I'm also curious what you think of Khokhlachev(haven't heard much about him) and do you think Kuznetzov will ever leave Russia?
Thanks,
The Ocho

I think Khoklachev is a couple of seasons away from the NHL and maybe another 1 or 2 then to produce well.
Who knows if Kuznetsov will be back, but I think he's worth the risk. He's a big time talent.
Ps. I'm also curious what you think of Khokhlachev(haven't heard much about him) and do you think Kuznetzov will ever leave Russia?

Nice handle, welcome to the only fantasy hockey website you'll ever need!!
I'd rank the players in the following order:
Nyquist
Silfverberg
Coyle
Kreider
Schwartz
Kuznetsov
Saad
Khokhlachev
Sgarbossa
On talent alone, Kuznetsov is easily at the very top of this list. Problem is, there is a possibility he never comes over to North America to play in the NHL. Hes been NHL ready in many peoples eyes. Loving your birth country and not wanting to leave your family is a very admirable thing, and I respect that...but it doesn't help my fantasy team. For that reason alone, I wouldn't pass on any of the guys I listed in front of him, who should all make impacts at the NHL level to some degree and also have nice potential. The top 5 are all pretty close and wasn't easy ranking...but I'd definitely take Nyquist first.

One thing I'll say is never underestimate Sgarbossa. Kid's gonna be huge! Huge Jerry!
My Rankings:
Kuznetzov - Its my understanding he is just finnishing his russian commitments and he will come over, dont know if thats updated tho...
Schwartz - oozes NHL talent, production isnt quite dominating yet, but he is just getting use to Pro life...
Saad - I feel this guy does sooo much on the ice and Chicago will throw him on a top 2 line to produce, that oppurtunity is bigger than his skill set...
Khoklachev - extreamly explosive, slippery, goes to the dirty areas and works hard, his size is a minor factor, but he should be a hard work winger on a scoring line when boston brings him in... It was my understanding if there wasn't a lockout he would have been a Bruin, but I dont know his status now...
Coyle - will be an excellent player, but in Minny, I think he will play a complete role and his ceiling isnt astronomical...
Krieder - Rangers are assembleing a team of high octaine weapons, he will be a good producer but I feel it will be inconsistant with the likes of Miller, Thomas, Haglin, Lindberg, Stepan, St.Croix and others yet drafted filtering in and out of the picture at times...
Silfverberg - I'm yet to see enough of him to make a good assessment, because of that I have him behing others I've seen, so don't put any merit into me having him below all the others
Nyqvist - will score and play excellent on the Wings, but the more i see all that he has, the more i wounder if he will fill a role that will stunt his ceiling... He has large talent, but Detroit has a way of making talented scorers, scale back and play a smarter team game with less risk... that said with the talent in Detroit it could boost his #s and make them consistantly fantasy relevent. Personal opinion is that his ceiling would be higher outside Detroit...
Sgarbossa - like Silfverberg, I have only seen him limited in Jr, I see the numbers, but I'm yet to be sold on him (very much on my watch list tho), Colorado has lots of talent on Left wing and center, he may have to move (or someone else) to right wing for oppertunity...
Kuznetzov, Coyle and Schwartz are your safest bets... the others are gambles, but good gambles....
Current Roster:
F: H Sedin, Plekanec, Perry, Cammalleri, Oshie, Stepan, Anisimov, Kunitz, Justin Williams, Little, Baertchi, Huberdeau, Eberle, Rattie, Hoffman, Holland, Horvat, Dano, Dal Colle, Kerdiles
D: Boumeester, Green, Carlson, Del Zotto, Myers, Alzner, M Staal, Pouliot, Gormley, Mueller
G: Varlamov, Mrazek, Niemi, Vasilevski, Ramo, Hellebuyck
If it's the team the OP signature, then it's points only. In a points only league, there's no way I'd have Coyle at #3.

Khokhlachev
Sgarbossa

Weekly line up: 12 F / 6 D / 2 G

Kuznetzov signed a new two-year KHL contract this summer. Big money. More than enough to make that NHL entry level contract seem like peanuts. His wife is also allegedly not big on leaving Russia and he's a complete rock star there. IMO that makes him the most unsafe bet.
GO WINGS!
Given the upsides of the others in this list I just don't think Kuznetsov is worth the gamble. Silfverberg and Nyquist are the guys that I would go with.

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
I have Coyle, Kuz, Nyquist, and Kreider (along with Yakupov, Huberdeau and others... I'm in full on rebuild mode) and I would rank those four in terms of upside (points):
Kuz
Kreider
Nyquist (2a 2b)
Coyle
In terms of who you want on your team with your settings:
Nyquist
Coyle (best chance to be a first line player)
Kuz
Kreider
I don't think Kreider has the consistency or the hockey IQ to make a huge impact in New York over the course of a full season.
Nyquist is guaranteed on the Red Wings and should be top 6 soon.
Coyle might not have huge point upside, but he could be on the Wild's top line very soon.
I really hope Kuz comes back. In a capped league, he is a crazy valuable asset, as when he does come back it will still be entry level; and he should be performing at an all-star level.
I can't tell you as much about the others, sorry.
