Help ranking prospects for a new GM

[BJMit]

Hey everyone,

This is my first deep league like this and I was wondering I could get some help ranking these prospects. Some of these guys are currently playing in the NHL but I'm looking for overall upside combined with certainty to reach that potential.

Scoring is G,A,SHP,PPP+/-,SOG,Hits,Blk for skaters. Thanks!!

Here's my first attempt at a few tiers of what I'd consider to be top prospects, let me know how wrong I am...


Hischier
Pettersson
Patrick
Kaprizov
Tolvanen
Tippett
Suzuki
Glass
Mittelstadt


Borgstrom
Makar
Heiskanen
Necas
Thomas
Ho-Sang
Yamamoto
Bjorkstrand
Steel
Frost
Puljujarvi
Strome
Conner
Merkley
Roy
Chychrun
Chytil
Eriksson Ek
Vilardi


Gaudette
Vesalainen
Heponiemi
Fischer
Konecny
Debrusk
Sprong
Bjork
Borgman
Kase
Heinen
Meier
DeBrincat
Hanafin

Overall good list, I would put borgstrom where Tippett is. I would put Tippett middle of tier 2. I would put vesalainen
under necas. I would put konecny at the very top of tier 1 cause of his hot streak. I would swap chytil and debrincat with no sang and chychren putting chytil higher.i would put hei men middle of tier 2, Conner top 3 of tier 1

Welcome to the forums. That's a lot of names to sort through.

This is a good place to start to try and help thin the pack.

To the OP, beware of Dobber's prospect rankings. I find that they emphasize the value of production in the short-term to a huge degree. If you are not concerned about short-term then I wouldn't use this list at all other than to identify potential names so that you can do your own research.

Thanks, it certainly seemed that way when I looked the rankings over. That makes a lot of sense as I'm much more concerned with long-term production and upside.
