Kyrou - yes
So after winning back to back championships I am now a distant 4th this year. So of course it is time to rebuild and look for those prospects who will make as big an impact next year as possible. I have scooped up both Necas and Borgstrom, but should be able to grab one more guy by the end of the season.
I am flush with centers so I would like to avoid one if possible, but I can always make room if it is the best player available. Yahoo has all the forwards listed as Centers, but they seem to start rookies out that way so who knows what the position designation will end up as next year. Kyrou is the guy I feel like I am leaning toward because I feel like he is the best chance at being a winger as well as having great potential. What do you guys think of this list, I have it in order of what I like. What would you change?

I think Chytil has a very high ceiling, he is also one of the youngest players in the AHL and still putting up points.
Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
I'll agree with Don, Chytil has a high ceiling, no idea if he'll reach it, but that Rangers squad is ripe for a rebuild and he has a very good chance of being that #1 center in a couple years for them (Ziba isn't a #1, good #2 though, Lias Anderson is there as well, he's only real obstacle in the way).
For what it's worth, OHL coaches just released they're rankings for best players in several categories and I believe Kyrou was in top 3 for IQ (Can't teach, either have or don't), playmaking and skating. 2 of those, IQ/skating, are essential for ever having a sniff at being a top six player in NHL.

If you need an impact for next year then Fabbri is far and away the option. He may never be healthy but at least he's proven.
Since you are only concerned with the coming season, I think Fabbri is probably the only player on that list that even plays in the NHL next year (for more than a cup of coffee, anyway).

If Fabbri is fully healed, I like him for next year. Though knees do scare me.
I like Kyrou long-term here.
Next season only: Fabbri
Long-term in mind with strong emphasis on next season: Chytil
