    How would you rank (top 3) these prospects based on pure point upside?

    Matthew Savoie
    Matthew Knies
    Oscar Olausson
    Danila Yurov
    Joakim Kemell
    Noah Ostlund
    Ivan Miroshnichenko

    Three Tiers, IMO

    Savoie
    ...
    Yurov
    Kemell
    Miroschnichenko
    ...
    Knies
    Ostlund
    Olausson

    Savoie is most talented of the group, by far, IMO. He's the only LOCK top-liner and PP1 guy on this list.
    Yurov landed in a great place because fellow Russian Kaprizov should lure him to join the Wild after his KHL contract expires. MIN is loaded in young talent with Kaprizov, Rossi, Boldy... but Yurov can reach upto a 2nd line role & PP2 time.
    Kemell is a solid player, but the NAS forwards are aging and I'm not sure how well his linemates are for when he peaks
    Miro will be very good, but WAS is aging really hard and he might only get a year playing with Ovechkin. Hopefully he ends up clicking long-term with Kuz or McMichael
    [You will see Yurov/Kemell/Miro interchangeably, IMO, on most Dobber people's lists.]

    Knies is solid, but he's not a PP1 guy, so somebody is hoping Matthews re-signs and that Knies gets some ESTOI with him. TOR will obv always be cap team, so he should have talent to play with
    Ostlund is just too buried, IMO, on a loaded BUF team of prospects. It'll be hard for him to nose his way into minutes, but he's a slick passer and a BIG sleeper in "points" leagues
    Olausson has upside if he can crack the stacked COL top6, but right now - I don't see him nosing into MacK/Rant/Landeskog/Lehkonen/Nichu/Newhook. A forward MUST be a top 6F on his team to have pointing upside.
    [Knies/Ostlund/Olausson is also interchangeable based on how opportunities with cap/rosters shake out on their teams over next 3-5 years.]

    On pure upside:

    Savoie
    Miroschnichenko
    Yurov

    Will they actually reach their potential, that's always the million dollar question. Miroschnichenko has health questions that are still unanswered but I truly believe if healthy, and in the NHL, he could challenge Savoie for the highest upside potential. That's the main reason he's not #1 for me here.
    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

    I appreciate the detail answer, thank you!

    Savoie and Kemell were an easy top 2 for me, the rest i could be swayed in numerous directions but this was my instinct!
