Keeper Rankings & Prospects

[hawkeyez17]

Looking for some tips, sites that talk about keeper/dynasty rankings as well as prospects. Got my draft coming up this weekend and to say I am little behind the 8 ball is an understatement.

Obviously I will be using the forums here as always as well as the rankings on the main page, just looking for some other sites/opinions.

Feel free to PM me if you are scared your competition is looking. Thanks.

Might I recommend the Dobber Fantasy Hockey Guide. Pretty much covers everything you just listed there, especially draft rankings. It's even updated daily through training camps for your pleasure.

Don't need to go to far.

Corey Pronman over at Hockey Prospectus does amazing work on the prospect front. Not totally fantasy-focussed but generally good hockey players make good fantasy players - he also sets out his predicted role for a player (top-line, top 6 etc.) in his rankings.

I may be in the minority on this but I also like the prospect grading system over at Hockey's Future. They like to make adjustments to the grades in hindsight a little too often, but at the end of the day the grades give you a good sense of where a player is at and generally gets the right players on your radar. The lower the grades the more risk there is involved, but that's why you go to other sources, like Pronman and this site. They also do a top-50 list each spring and fall.

I also have been delving into some of Gabe Desjardin's league equivalencies. Before he left Angus pointed out that Vollman has been updating these but Desjardin was the original guy (as far as I'm aware anyway). I fill out my own personal rankings with these equivalencies, which can really help when you have to make a call between one prospect and another.

Individual team bloggers also rank their team's prospects - e.g. Lowetide and Copper N Blue for the Oilers. I haven't reached the stage in my obsession yet to start tracking these or reading them for any team other than the beloved Oil, but if you really wanted to I'm sure these are out there for each team.

Hope that helps.

I will use the site to the best ability I can, but looking for the free info. Sorry to be so cheap. I do appreciate all and any information on this great site/forum, but money is tight, so can't throw it into a guide. Thank you though.

Thank you as well, but I am in a very deep keeper so I am looking for much more than 100 ranking. Again thanks for taking the time to help me out. I will take a look at it at regardless.

Great info here thanks. I will definitely check it all out. That first post seems very good and will help me out a lot.
