prospect rank/cut

[Kwazzie]

hey looking to establish who to keep and who not to on my farm. I'm unsure of the last 6 spots right now. The first 10 players I'm keeping are;

Lehner
Barkov
Vatanen
S.Jones
Burakovsky
Kuznetsov
Ehlers
Jaskin
Nylander
Fiala

Keepers @ PRO level; Malkin, Kopitar, Seguin, Kessel, Palat, Steen, E.Kane, Weber, Rielly, Krug, Bobrovsky, Varlamov

G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, Hits

H2H daily start league. 3C 3LW 3RW 6D 2G 3UTIL 7BN

My goal is the playoffs next year, i own a top 4 lottery pick, best % at 1st this year. Bottomed out last year due to my goaltenders all being injured, shouldn't have really been that bad.

the remaining prospects for the last 6 spots are....

Panarin
Goldobin
Nurse
Nesterov
Morrissey
Grigorenko
Dal Colle
Buchnevich
Petan
McCann
Milano
G.Reinhart
Dvorak
Bertuzzi

if you could tier the above list, or rank them, etc give me your 6 choices and 2 honorable mentions that would be great

wait time isn't a huge factor necessarily if they are a first line talent. I have a lot of NHL ready prospects to contribute already.

dal colle, nurse, morrissey, milano, petan
h.mentionsararin, goldobin

[YzermansLegacy]

Nurse, Morrissey and Dal Colle jump out to me as must keeps.

Since you're not too concerned for wait time, I'll give you the next 3 + 2HMs as how I'd rank them in terms of upside.

Milano
Goldobin
Reinhart

Panarin
Bertuzzi (like his peripherals but not likely a big scorer at NHL level)

Grigs, Buchnevich and Petan all have significant point-upside... but I'm not a huge believer in them achieving it at the NHL level, hence why they're not included.

If it were my decision, I'd lean this way:

Dal Colle
Morrissey
Nurse
...
Milano
Goldobin
Panarin

Honorable mentions, depending on whether you want D or F depth:

G.Reinhart (new role?)
Nesterov (looked good in the playoffs)

Grigorenko (new role? - haven't given up on him quite yet, especially with Roy)
Dvorak - great season, under the radar, good fit in Arizona.

Personally, I don't have the feeling that Petan's skill level will translate. And while McCann's numbers improved this year, I still get the feeling that he's going to be more valuable in "real hockey" than in fantasy. Might just be me, or leftovers in my mind from his draft year comments.
