Here are the Top 200 prospect forwards to own in your points-only keeper leagues – March edition!

It’s almost time for the 13th annual Midseason Fantasy Guide! It will be released on March 12 – you can pre-order it right here. In JUST TWO DAYS!

As always, players within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of your fantasy team’s needs and/or your personal preference. o=offensive player, p=power forward, os=offensive but small, t=two-way

Here are the prospects I graduated this month (criteria: whenever the hell I want 😉 )

Seriously though, if they’ve played over a certain amount of games – and – I am certain they won’t be sent back down, then I graduate them. This could be 10 games, as it was for McDavid, or 150 games for some fringe guys. But generally in that 65-85 game range I’ll look very carefully at graduating.
