    Default Who do I pick up?

    Hey gents, I have an empty slot on my prospect list and I wanted some opinions on who you think I should pick up. In our league a player can remain on the prospect list and not count as a keeper until they've played a total of 82 NHL games. After that they must be promoted to the active roster and regular keeper rules apply. Here are the players I'm looking at picking up.

    Terry
    Batherson
    Kravtsov
    Suzuki
    Kaprisov

    Boqvist
    Brannstrom

    Scoring cats are goals and assists only and each team must dress 4 D-men.
    12 team Keeper League.
    25 man roster, 5 man bench, 2 prospects, keep 9. Must ice 4D, 1 Goalie
    Skaters 1pt G/A,
    Goalies .05pts per save, 1pts SO, .75pts per win -.25 for GA

    Forwards
    Crosby, Malkin, Seguin, Eichel, Backstrom, Svechnikov, Stone, Meier, Perron, Voracek, Wilson, Pearson, Vrana, E. Stall, Pajeau

    Defence
    Hedman, Klingberg, Letang, Yandle

    Goalie
    Bobrovsky

    Bench
    Ritchie (G), Zucker, Guentzel, Neal, Ekblad (D)


    Prospects
    Zegras, Kaprisov

    I think it would be between Brannstrom and Kravtsov. Brannstrom should be playing in the nhl next season and i think hes going to do well. Kravtsov is fairly high up on a lot of prospect lists that i have seen

    I'd probably go Kvavtsov, because with your 82 game prospect rule, I think the chances are he will be more relevant that Brannstromm (who I don't see cracking your top 4 for well, a very long time). TBH, any of those prospects seem like a real long shop to be relevant before the 82 game mark.

    Kaprizov for me.

    Personally think his upside is the highest anyways, but factor in an 82 gp limit, and I like his chances of being relevant a lot more than the rest.

    Icing on the cake is that you can afford to wait on him to arrive.
    RHRS, Yahoo, 12-team, Roto
    PQMC, Yahoo, 12-team, Keep 11, H2H
    Taro Tsujimoto Draft League, Fantrax, 6-team, pts-only (*2018 draftees or later only)
    Hanson Bros., Fantrax, 10-Team, Keep 8, weighted scoring
    Black & Blue, Fantrax, 12-Team, Dynasty, H2H weighted
    The Dream Team League, Fantrax, 14-Team, Dynasty, H2H
    On Frozen Ponds, Fantrax 10-Team, Dynasty, Roto

    Thanks for the input guys. Im leaning towards Kravtsov I think. I feel that Kaprisov probably has the highest ceiling but I'm still not confident he comes to the NHL anytime soon. I'm a big fan of Boqvist but have a personal rule of not using a prospect spot on Dmen as they generally take a while to develop and become fantasy relevant.

    Another vote for Kaprizov. His upside is the highest of them all and he will likely also have the most trade value in his first 82 NHL games. That's an important consideration since you won't be wasting a roster spot on a 19 year old who's playing in the NHL already.
