Suzuki is easily 1st on my list and Kyrou is just easily 4th. Really torn between Thomas and Necas. I feel like Thomas is the safer choice but Necas might have the higher upside in points-only.
In a points only league, which two would you want on your farm?
Suzuki - Kyrou - Necas - Thomas
Thanks!

All of them
Seriously, all are so damn close in regards to their upside it's really hard to differentiate between these four. I am not sure anyone can give you a definitive answer on this, more of a personal preference.
My personal preference on only two of them is Suzuki and Necas simply based on opportunity. St Louis has a lot of very good forward prospects so both Kyrou and Thomas could struggle to get a fair shot in that top six.

Suzuki and Necas and while it is close with Thomas, I easily go Necas > Thomas.

Thanks guys, appreciate the insight!
I swapped out Kyrou for Necas - already had Suzuki. I liked Necas while watching him in the WJC (I know, very small sample size) but he looked good. I didn't pick him up then but have been reading more lately and he seems like a strong prospect to own. I know it's totally different for Necas playing in the Czech league against men versus Kyrou in the OHL, but Kyrou's numbers are so attractive:
Kyrou 19 yr old: 2017-18 Sarnia Sting OHL 41GP 27G 55A 82Pts
Thomas 18 yr old: 2017-18 London Knights OHL 27GP 20G 26A 46Pts
Hamilton Bulldogs OHL 9GP 2G 8A 10Pts (total 56 pts in 36 GP in the OHL as an 18 yr old)
Necas 19 yr old: 2017-18 HC Kometa Brno Czech 21GP 8G 6A 14Pts
I struggle to compare prospects playing in different leagues, so I really appreciate hearing from you guys. I also take your point Axeman, St Louis definitely has a deep group of prospect forwards (Kostin, Barbashev, Fabbri, Thomas, Kyrou to name a few) looking to crack an already solid top 6, so opportunity may be a factor for Thomas and Kyrou. Ultimately it's so much a crapshoot, but this is one of the reasons I love fantasy hockey.
Thanks again!

That's a very tough decision, I am hoping you made the right choice.. Always tough to predict how 18-19-20 year olds and how they will project.. Goodluck!!
