I was wondering the same thing last night as I realized I was checking out last month's update. I'm sure Dobber is working on it.
Have been watching eagerly for the March update to the Top 200 Prospect Forwards, surprised it isn't out yet. Usually Dobber puts it up between the 10th and 12th of the month.
Hope it is coming out soon...

Yeah, I figured that might be it. I don't mean to complain, by any means. Was just curious. I always refresh the page multiple times on the 10th-12th as I eagerly await the updates lol.
The update is up. It was his full audit version, so that explains why it took some extra time I suppose.
My, how Puljujarvi has fallen. From 98.5 in September down to 78.3 in March. Hope he gets on the up trend again soon.
I'm loving the Guentzel upgrade to #1!
Pulj was bound to drop from #1. Longer time-table to the NHL than some others. This list always balances talent with time to NHL. Guentzel is here.

I am not surprised that he dropped from #1, but I am surprised that his rating is going down over time. I would have thought that as he got closer to being in the NHL again (presumably at the beginning of next year) then his rating would go UP, not down. For the exact reason you mentioned.... time-table to the NHL. I guess maybe Dobber thinks he is getting further from the NHL than he was, or that his upside/talent is lower than it was. Not sure.

Though I don't think that's something that would drag his ranking down as far as it has come. I think what it likely is, is the realization that Pulj's impact may not be as immediate as that of Matthews and Laine. He will still be almost as good in his prime, but he may have a slower development curve to get there. So it's less so about NHL arrival time, and moreso about high fantasy relevance arrival time.

In fairness his rating now is about the same as Marner's was in March last year, so it isn't like he is being hugely underrated. It is just discouraging to see the ratings of your prospects go down, that's all. On the plus side, Keller got a nice 8 point boost so I'm happy about that. At this point is it more likely that Keller plays a game in the bigs before the end of the year than Puljujarvi?
I think it's unlikely that either does.

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.
