Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards – December 2017

Dobber

2017-12-13

Here are the Top 200 prospect forwards to own in your points-only keeper league.

As always, players within +/- 5.0 ratings points should be considered about equal value and at that point would depend on personal preference and team needs. Taken into account includes: wait time, NHL certainty, upside, the depth chart of the franchise. Check back tomorrow when I post the Top 50 prospect defensemen.

  It’s nothing personal Simon. I’m sorry. Sometimes, I just don’t know about a prospect’s good season. With over 900 players on my template, a guy can get missed. I spent over 12 hours on this month’s update and still missed him. But by February/March I like to think I’ve caught everyone.
  
  I looked up Katchouk and have him 416th, which is way low. My notes have him as a two-way guy, four years out, 70% NHL certainty and 62-point upside. With the year he’s having I’ll adjust to 3.5, 72% and 68-pt. That moves him into the top 230. I’ll keep an eye out for him next month.
  
  In the future, if you see a guy I might have missed, feel free to say “hey, Player X is having a great year, you may want to take a closer look if you haven’t already”. We’re all in this together. Group-think on these rankings! I can use all the help I can get.

    appreciate the explanation and maybe not looking at the whole scope of things. Do appreciate what you do though, keep up the good work!

Where would you rank Aleksi Heponiemi? Leading the entire CHL in scoring, over a ppg as a rookie last year, and driving Steenbergen’s (who snuck into the rankings this month) goal scoring.

  He’s ranked 221 – his scoring pace is insane! Next month he’ll be top 150.
