    It would be really good if there was some semblance of order here, other than the goalies at the bottom. I'm guessing that the forwards transition to defenders at Veleno - Kaski, but I can't be sure. Maybe alphabetical for each position would help, or at least extra room between forwards & defenders.
    Since they are prospects, it may be hard to break out centers versus wings, and we all know that wigs often flop to the other side, so Left versus right may be too granular for now.

    I like most of the names I recognize, and I think it looks good for a 20 teamer. With 660 in the minors at max, I expect to see names I don't recognize.

    Good looking prospect list. Now you need them to get to the NHL and help you win because names don't win fantasy leagues, production does.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    This is true! Hoping to filter some in this year with the veterans I have!

    Good idea! Sorted and separated.

    If there's a weak spot in this prospect pool I'd say it's wings. It drops off a lot after Caufield. I suppose some of those centers might wind up playing the wing though, so maybe not a huge issue.

    G: 2, A: 2, SOG: 0.15, Hit: 0.15, Block: 0.15, W: 3.5, Sv: 0.025, SO: 6
    7 F, 3 D, 1 G

    2022-2023 Roster:
    F: Connor McDavid, Steven Stamkos, Artemi Panarin, Jack Hughes, Mark Stone, Josh Norris, Tyler Bertuzzi, PL Dubois, Sam Bennett, Tom Wilson (IR)
    D: Kris Letang, Drew Doughty, Brent Burns, Shayne Gostisbehere

    Centres are good and D is good. I would go for some wings and another goalie.

    McDavid/Necas/ Kucherov/Bjorkstrand/Rust/Nugent Hopkins/Cirelli/Zegras/- Letang/Morrissey/Dahlin - Swayman/Saros/Skinner

    Prospects include:
    McTavish/Clarke/Bordeleau
    Dumais/Korchinski/Hutson

    Don't worry I'm not going to say anything more than I have to. If that.

    I would want a lot more goalies. I wouldn't draft any, assuming Askarov is gone, but I would definitely look to the waiver wire.

    RW- Raymond, Stone, TWilson, Toffoli, KJohnson, Nyqvist, Zary
    LW- Keller, Schmaltz, Bunting, Skinner, Barbashev, Duclair
    D- QHughes, McAvoy, Doughty, Heiskanen, LHughes, Mintyukov
    G- Shesterkin, Demko, Andersen, Kahkonen, Levi, Tarasov, Annunen

    Yeah, nothing really on wire. They are hard to come by. And, I just traded some away(not prospects). You can get in the situation where you have too many on Active/Reserve, and they eat up cap and roster spots. Especially with one G start per day. That is what happened to me. Last year, two prospects became ineligible for minors due to games played and had to be brought up to Active/Reserve. It's a fine line of balance. And being how hard/impossible it is to forecast goalies and their timeline.......

    Last year at this time it looked much better:

    Goalie
    Saros, Juuse
    Jarry, Tristan
    Husso, Ville
    Primeau, Cayden

    Trying to bank on and hope Husso becomes a backup next year or so. Hoping Saros/Jarry can hold the fort for the next 5 years. Then, Primeau comes along. By then, maybe goalie prospect pol can be restocked.

    First, that edited list really helps.

    Second, I think you may have goalies on the wire, but they aren't obvious. The Colin Delia types. I would be willing to pick a goalie that got drafted by a team with a depleted system just to add another.
