    Keller (at least 2 years of waiting)
    Jost (same as Keller but lower ceiling)
    PLD (9 games this year and in the show next year)
    Bjorks (he plays this year but I don't trust Torts)
    White (in NHL next year)
    Andrighetto (in the NHL in 16-17)
    Crouse (if it's multi-cat, I would bump him a couple of spots)
    Eriksson Ek (probably a better real-life player than fantasy)
    Czarnik (tweener?)

    Prospects are so hard to rank, but I think you'll see Bjorkstrand and Andrighetto in the league this year while Crouse, White and even Dubois get limited time until the 2017-18 season. The others are a couple years off at least.

    As far as talent and ceilings go, I think Dubois, White and Keller will be your best point producers (long term of course) while Crouse will be a great multi cat performer.

    Bottleneckers (12/16 in 2022)
    16 team, points only. G: 2-W, 4-SO.
    Top 9F, 4D & 1G . Keep 15, Max 23
    F: J. Robertson, J. Hughes, Tavares, Lafreniere, Cozens, Newhook, Teravainen, Domi, R. Strome, Laine, Rossi, Raymond, Holtz, Perfetti
    D: Bouchard, McAvoy, Morrissey, Heiskanen
    G: Vasilevskiy

    Without actually ranking, these are my thoughts as well. I agree with Axe that Dubois would be my number 1.
    Bjork I would put in with the other three of White, PLD and Keller. Jost isn't too far behind.

    Dubois is the top dog here. He should get a shot this year and I think he sticks with the Jackets. Bjork is 2nd and I think he can get 35-40pts this year.

    Keller, Jost and White are all highly skilled but will need a year or 2 before seeing any NHL action IMO (they are also in order of potential).

    Crouse is an enigma as he can become a great power forward and develop a good scoring touch (like Benn did), he could become a talented 2-way PF like Backes or he could end up just being a big body (I doubt this happens). I'm banking on a Backes-type, but he's a few years away as well.

    Czarnik is a project and if his development continues well he could fall in the Keller/Jost/White class. He had a great year in the A last year, but I'm not sure he's physically strong enough to continue to produce like that in the NHL.

    EE is talented as well, but I think his 2-way game will shine more than his offensive potential alone. Could be an Eller-type type though...

    Not a big fan of Andrighetto; especially in Montreal. I don't see him ever breaking 50pts in the NHL but could have some seasons in the mid 40's if he plays with good linemates.
    Keeper league 14 teams (H2H, 20 active players keep 16 NHLers, 16 minors)

    Thanks guys. Andrighetto, EE, and Czarnik were all FA pickups that I'm hoping to hold and involve in package deals for better players as they appreciate. The rest will hopefully be big pieces of my rebuild.

    I'd flip Bjork & Keller, but otherwise, this is my list as well. Don't sleep on Jost. He's going to be a stud.
