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
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'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.
I like Kravtsov here. He’s the one with the more upside.

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.

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.
