Deepest of leagues - who do I bother with keeping

[sasquatch]

Can hold onto these guys forever in my minors, but curious who has at the very least 3rd line upside and is therefore, worth keeping. I've removed all this years draftees and guys who are obviously worth holding onto.
I haven't included goalies because anyone who owns their own pads is owned in this league.
Minors are limited to 100 guys and I'm pushing the limits of that now.

So, Whose droppable, who is definitely not droppable?

There's a few familiar names in there, but I just don't know enough about them to make an opinion on where they sit in their respective organisations (eg sgarbossa)

Any decent help is appreciated.

Those are the guys I absolutely would not drop. I kind of based it on who I had heard of and who I hadn't. 2400 prospects is insane, I don't know how you keep up haha!

Hope that helps somewhat.

Cheers!
surprised you haven't heard of Jerome GL, and no I can't keep up, hence the thread, lol

[keytolife]

Just drop them all Kris. Hand them over to me *evil laughter*. Got arround 10 prospects spots open my friend.

Just a few notes, as I'll admit that there are a good number I don't know - my deepest pool is around 1000 players owned.

Fasching is a definite keeper, and I'd say Nieves and Sgarbossa are as well.

Tim Heed I sat on for a couple of years, but in my shallower pool, I eventually cut him in favor of someone else. He puts up very good numbers in the Allsvenskan, but the jump to the SHL has been difficult for him and the points aren't really coming at the higher level. I guess it's a positive that he's finally made the jump more or less full time, though, because for a few years he was bouncing back and forth, either between the Allsvenskan and the J20 or the SHL and the Allsvenskan. He played 40 games for Skelleftea last year, but doesn't appear to be too high on their depth chart so far.

Calle Andersson I would keep as well, he seems to be on track and had a good season with Malmo. I believe he's headed for Zug in the Swiss league next year.

Slepshyev you may as well hold onto in a pool this deep, who knows if he ever comes over, but he's got a good deal of talent. I always prefer the prospect who is talented but 50/50 as to whether he ever plays to the player who is more likely to play but doesn't have the talent to produce even if he does.

A few others I would likely keep: Varone, Hrivik and Wey.

Awesome thanks +1

Heed is definitely on the cusp of being cut and he's one I didn't really know much about as well.

I wouldn't drop sgarbossa, hrivik, varone types, I just left them in hoping for some insightful comments regarding their situations.

Dea, Jean-Seabstien F - PIT Might be worth keeping
Ewanyk, Travis F - EDM Might be worth keeping, but could be a 4th line guy
Fasching, Hudson F - BUF Definitely worth keeping
Hrivik, Marek F - NYR Might be worth keeping since the rangers could have a roster spot available
Kujawinski, Ryan F - NJ Might be worth keeping but is VERY inconsistent, likely a future Windex Wonder
Kunyk, Cody F - TB Might be worth keeping since Tampa just signed this guy from college as a free agent and the Bolts have had plenty of success in that department
Melen, Hampus F - DET Don't know him, but a Swede drafted by Detroit in the later rounds... can you afford NOT to gamble on this guy?
Nieves, Boo F - NYR Worth keeping
Sgarbossa, Michael F - COL Worth keeping
Slepyshev, Anton F - EDM Might be worth keeping
Varone, Philip F - BUF Might be worth keeping

Andersson, Calle D - NYR Might be worth keeping
Clifton, Connor D - PHO Um, you mean ARI right? A D-man drafted by Arizona, might be worth a gamble
Gauthier-Leduc, Jerome D - BUF Might be worth keeping, but it'll be a while if he makes it
Saari, Santeri D - STL Might be worth a shot


The others I don't know enough about to make a decision...

Hope this helps!
