Prospect Mailbag - February Edition

[Crazy Joe Davola]

We're getting into the nitty gritty months now, folks! Fantasy owners are gearing up for playoff runs or selling their proven assets for young players. Now's the time to get the low-down on some prospects.

As always, I'll try and answer as many questions as possible but if yours doesn't get answered feel free to follow me on twitter @CrazyJoeDavola3 and I'm happy to answer (almost) all questions sent my way.

Ready. Set. Mailbag!

Thanks as always for doing this so time to get my monthly question in

pretty deep multi cat salary cap league (25 main, 35 farm and 20 prospect (drafted within the last two years) team) and I have some decisions to make re graduating prospects who can help me within the next two- three years. Werenski, Provorov and Hanifin are no brainers. Are any of the below also worth keeping?

Guryanov, Bracco, Malgin, Chabot, Vande Sompel and Lindhren

What are your thoughts on Matthew Phillips? He lit up the WHL as a 17 year old rookie last season and he's doing it again this year as an 18 year old. What are the odds that he becomes an NHL player?

Also wanted to ask the same about Phillips.

And, do you see any of the currently leaf goalies in the minors (Kaskisou, Bibeau, Woll, Sparks) taking a step forward next year? Perhaps in a back up role? Or who projects the highest / soonest?

What about the other thread you've already started...? Maybe a mod could merge the two?

He always starts two in different sections to get more questions. Usually there's a link in one of them to the other to showcase a main one though.

My apologies, Joe

What are you thoughts on Huskies teammates Adam Gaudette and Dylan Sikura? How close are they to seeing NHL action? What are their upsides?

Thanks

With Patrick being the favorite, where do you feel the next upside talent gap in the draft is ?

With Vegas being an interesting tweak in the pipeline

In a points only keeper league. If you had the first or second overall pick. With a good offer on the table. Would you trade it away. Are Patrick and Hischier that far ahead of let's just say Mittlestadt?

[Crazy Joe Davola]

Fantastic questions, everyone! Maybe the best yet. I'm working away at answering as many as I can.

Keep em coming!

Why is there two threads for this one topic?

Why is there two threads for this one topic?

I believe that each month this is the case. It is posted in Prospects Discussion and Keeper League Forwards, presumably to garner more traffic and questions.

That's correct. I originally just posted in the Prospect forum but the traffic there is far less and I wanted to make sure the exposure was high enough to garner enough questions.

All good if anyone wants the threads merged and I'll proceed with just the one thread in the future if that's the case.
