Which Prospects of Mine have a shot at NHL next year?

[Yetimouse]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get you to have a look at my prospects to see who you think will get a look at the NHL next year, either full time or part time, and could potentially have a fantasy impact. I landed the 2nd overall pick so I will likely be adding Laine to the mix as well. It is a full keeper based on AAV. I have some decisions to make on who to let go or promote to my roster. Thanks in advance for any insight

Mikko Rantanen
Travis Konecny
Brayden Point
Kasperi Kapanen
Adrian Kempe
Oliver Bjorkstrand
Jakub Vrana
Anthony Mantha

Julius Honka
Derrick Pouliot
Jakub Zboril
Jordan Schmaltz

A legit shot at the NHL next year? My best guesses are in bold. That doesn't mean a couple others may not get a sniff but these are the ones I see with the best chance of actually producing at some level in the NHL next season.

Mikko Rantanen
Travis Konecny
Brayden Point
Kasperi Kapanen
Adrian Kempe
Oliver Bjorkstrand
Jakub Vrana
Anthony Mantha

Julius Honka
Derrick Pouliot
Jakub Zboril
Jordan Schmaltz

FWIW, I think they all have NHL potential and are all very good prospects.

Mikko Rantanen (great AHL season, Avs could use the help up front if they lose guys like Boedker and maybe Tanguay)
Kasperi Kapanen (cups of tea here and there, will be part of the rebuild as soon as next year IMO)
Oliver Bjorkstrand (played well in limited time this year, should see full-time action next year)
Anthony Mantha (same as above, but less likely to be a full-timer)

Julius Honka (Stars may lose Goli this year, Lindell and Honka may be the front runners to replace him)
Derrick Pouliot (Pens have used him this year and with already 2 part-seasons under his belt, he's bound for more next year)

These would be my 6

I'm basically in agreeance with Axe's list, but will add that I could very easily see Vrana being in the NHL too.

[Yetimouse]

Thank you to everyone for your insight on my prospects. I like my group going forward. They do not all need to be ready at the same time. This will help me going forward! I have to admit, I find Vrana quite intriguing as an impact prospect down the road, as long as he can stay healthy.

All are pretty solid.. Rantanen, Mantha and Bjorkstrand have the best shot at sticking in the NHL next season..

I agree wit these 6, with the disclaimer that I think only one of Honka/Lindell make the jump. So it's 50/50 on that one.

Agree completely with Bass56.

Thanks again for reinforcing some thoughts of mine. I will likely be forces to drop Coyle for one of these players.

Solid prospects - maybe try a 2-1 trade for a prospect upgrade. Try and maximize your assets.

[Yetimouse]

Thanks for the advice, I may try that route.

Ya, that's what I meant in my own gibberish way

My list:

Mikko Rantanen
Oliver Bjorkstrand
Derrick Pouliot

[franklin]

NHL full time: Rantanen, Bjorkstrand, Pouliot

Good shot at NHL by the end of the year: Kapanen, Mantha, Vrana, Kempe, Schmaltz

I like how you separated them into two groups. The second list I can totally see in the NHL, I just don't see them making an impact next year.
