Kuz is far and away number one, but looking at your league settings I would rank them like this.
Kuznetsov
Jenner
Ritchie
Atkinson
Brunner
This year, I think Atkinson and Brunner are very close. Brunner gets the edge though.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
Long term, I would have them like
Kuznetsov
Jenner
Atkinson
Brunner
Ritchie
Atkinson and Brunner cold flip flop they're really close. I just don't know if I buy Ritchie being a good producer in the NHL, and I'm confident enough in that call I have him last on this list. Doesn't mean I don't like him, just compared to the other players here I'm not a huge fan.
In a one year outlook, I have Brunner first followed by Atkinson. It's only 3 games, but Brunner has 15 SOG already and he's had 4:45, 5:10, and 4:34 minutes on the PP in those 3 games. I think he's going to get a fairly long-leash in Detroit this year since Babcock has been in love with him since the day he signed there.

I can get behind this ranking. Kuz is just far and away the best talent on the list so if you're not concerned about the KHL factor he's number one with a bullet. Jenner makes a lot of sense at 2 because he'll fill out a lot of cats for you and is a surefire NHLer. I'm less convinced about the bottom three on the list and could easily flip/flop some of them. I tend to be cautiously optimistic on Ritchie but probably prefer the certainty of Atkinson and Brunner.
