Follow me on Twitter (@DobberHockey) for fantasy hockey insight and alerts and links when the latest player rankings come out.
As always, players ranked within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of your keeper team’s needs (immediate help vs long-term upside) or personal preference. Legend: os=offensive but small, o=offensive, t=two-way, p=power forward/big forward
Note: We are in the process of researching/putting together our annual Fantasy Prospects Report. So while some of the prospects below have been updated and adjusted, others have not. For next month (and in the FPR itself), all prospects will be adjusted and I would consider that chart the most accurate of the year.
You can already see the impact that Chicago winning the draft lottery has on Lukas Reichel and Frank Nazar. Check in over the coming days for the prospect defense list and see how it impacts Kevin Korchinski…
