Top 200 Prospect Forward March Update?

[Mr. Guru]

Do you keep tabs month to month and/or are the archives available month to month?

Would be neat to see the biggest risers/fallers

- - - Updated - - -

Nevermind. Just saw all the articles are still there.

If anyone has time to do a risers/fallers list.....id appreciate it

PLD moves back up to where i was hoping hed be...at least heading in that direction..

[Fighting_Emu]

I'm loving the Guentzel upgrade to #1!

Gawd- I literally JUST traded him like 3 days ago- FMWL!! The return? I dont even want to talk about it...

... Sharp/Pretzel/early 2nd rounder for a (very) late 1st rounder (in a 20 team, keep 12 league- and in a year with a notably poor talent pool F WORD!!!)

[audiopile]

Fair enough. I would say Pulj. He's not exactly close to a games played tier like the 9 or 41 game plateaus. Plus EDM may want to keep him up for playoffs if they think that would be good for him.
Tougher to see the college guys jumping right in when the games are meaningless anyways. Much more likely Keller and Boeser etc get a PTO to play in the AHL.

[Speculation] Boeser might play for the Canucks this season, after he's done in the NCAA.

Does it only take one game played to burn a year of entry level contract? Or a certain number of games?

[ericdaoust]

Pretty sure it burns a year off the ELC if he's up with the team for one day.

[valec]

if he is 18 or 19 and doesn't play more than 9 NHL games in a given year, his contract 'slides' to the next year and he will still have 3 years remaining on it.

Because he is 20yo, it will burn a year.

So if the Coyotes bring Keller up it would not burn a year. Good to know.

The list is so fluid. Any of the top 10 could flip around in value depending on what happens. Some guys graduate out of like 30th place and score 60 pts.. while guys in the top 3 never play an NHL game.. Not a science at all. Keller might end up being the biggest points producer of the top 10 on the list... but who knows when that will be. For their level of production in the AHL, I feel like Compher and Fischer are pretty low.. Are there that many doubts about their ability to make the jump and produce in the top 6? They are pacing their teams in the minors in rookie seasons.. Fischer looks particularly good.. and has been at every level he`s played, more so than Compher, who might be a 3rd liner all the way... I guess I'm puzzled by their being either so closely ranked together so low, or that Fischer is so low. He looks primed for the jump.

..maybe some incentive there...

..maybe some incentive there...

I wouldn't say it is incentive to bring him up... more like lack of disincentive. lol

[finnys_fanatsy]

..ya, fair enough. Obviously this benefits ARZ more than Keller, as they want to keep him at ELC, and he (assume) would want to burn through his ELC sooner to 'cash in' sooner. either way, i think theyd be nuts not to at least try and get him into an NHL jersey this year.

I actually think that it's much more likely that Boeser and Keller turn pro and sign with the big clubs. The only reason that won't happen is if their NCAA seasons run too long and then it's off the AHL for a stint before the summer.


Benning has expressed no concern over burning a year off Boeser's deal, and Keller will more than likely start in the NHL next year so might as well give him a taste of what to expect now.

But as, I said, the timing of when their NCAA seasons end will be the main factor

I love Dobber Hockey and the fact that he is willing to stick to his opinions until he finds new information that changes it but I do not like the latest version of the top 200 forward prospects. The latest edition is valuing current production way too highly. Jake Guentzel is just the latest guy who has the luck to play with Sidney Crosby, he has Anthony Mantha was a healthy scratch last week on a non-playoff team.

How many of you would trade any of the following for Mantha or Guentzel?

Keller
Connor
Barzal
Vrana
Dubois
White
Jost
Roslovic
Kaprizov

I would trade Barzal, Vrana, Dubois, White, Jost and/or Roslovic for Guentzel. Connor likely too, but only because of situation.

Keller is the only clear one who I wouldn't deal for Pretzel with Kaprizov still two years away from producing fantasy numbers while Geuntzel is likely to push for 60+ next season.

As for Mantha, I'd prefer Keller, Kaprizov, Connor, and likely Barzal over him. The rest are wait and sees.
