    Default Help ranking my (top) prospects

    Hey everyone, in my keeper league we'll soon have our annual prospect draft: 10 teams, 3 rounds. Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shorthanded Points (SHP), Shots on Goal (SOG), Faceoffs Won (FW), Hits (HIT), Blocks (BLK).
    We do NOT count PIM.

    I have obviously my own ranking, but if you have some time to spare I'd appreciate if you could rank them according to your opinion - too much input never hurts.

    I'm looking for pure long-term fantasy upside more than for short-term help or anything else.

    I always rank them by position (so e.g. 1.Draisaitl, 2.Bennett ... 1.Mantha, 2.Dal Colle ... 1.Kapanen ... etc etc - I do NOT make a huge ranking of all of them together (e.g. 1.Draisaitl, 2.Mantha, 3.Allen .... 50.Milano). Please don't do that).
    In this thread they're sorted alphabetically (i.e. what you see below is not my ranking). And they're only the top prospects - I have more on my list but with only 3 rounds, I'll probably never get to draft them anyway (unless their value skyrockets next year). Obviously, if you feel like someone not on the list should be included, feel free to do so.

    This is a big thread and I had only wanted to jump in just for a few minutes and answer a question or two. I think if you split this up into six 'ranking' questions (by position) then you'd get a lot more answers. Just keep in mind for the future

    You are right. Unfortunately, I only thought of this after having created the thread. Sorry, my bad.

    Actually, the thread can be deleted (I cannot do it), it's a waste of space. Thank you.



    PS: Actually, it is split into five questions. I don't expect anyone to rank these players into one huge ranking, that would be nuts. I don't do that either, it's useless. What I meant was rank them within their position.
    So for example:
    1.Draisaitl
    2.Bennett
    3.Reinhart
    etc

    1.Dal Colle
    2.Mantha
    3.Ehlers
    etc

    ...

    1.Allen
    2.Visentin
    etc


    I just re-read my post and I see that I never specified that. So it was definetely unclear for a reader what I wanted. Sorry!

    Defense and goalie were tough....I'm not 100% happy with the ranking on defense especially, so many players were almost identical in value to me. But ya, there's a quick ranking. One question.....you say we can suggest adding players. So is someone like Andrei Vasilevskiy already taken? Or Drouin? I'm assuming yes, but I'd be interested to know what kind of other players might be available.
    20 Team Dynasty (points per) - G (25, 50 for defense) A (25) PIM (3) PPP (15) SHP (25) OTG (15) GWG (25) HTr (50) SOW (75) HIT (1) BLK (2) W (50) SHO (100) OTL (10) GA (-15) SV (2) Use actual NHL salary

    Start 12 F, 6 D, 1G weekly

    F: Kucherov, Marchand, Barkov, Gaudreau, Laine, Aho, Dubois, Dadonov, Huberdeau, Trocheck, Bertuzzi, Beauvillier, Khaira, Grigorenko

    D: Ekman-Larsson, Yandle, Edler, Pulock, Borowiecki, Weegar, Mike Reilly

    G: Andersen, Hart

    Farm: Boldy, Beckman, Wise, Mascherin, Kovalenko, Manukyan, Walker, Morozov, Shafigullin, Palmu, Tychonic, Zhuravlyov, Kesselring, Zamula, Lankinen, Sogaard, Ingram, Rybar

    Yeah sorry, I didn't make that clear either... Yes, both are taken. Generally you can assume that all top prospects from previous years (such as Drouin, Vasilevsky, Teravainen, Strome, Nurse, Pouliot, Strome etc etc) have been drafted. The next best players on this list would be guys like McCann, Rychel, Armia, Barberio, Gillies etc... Those type of players.
