Click any player name to be taken to his fantasy scouting profile section over at DobberProspects and get everything you need in order to evaluate the player.

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: o=offensive forward, os=offensive but small, p=power or big forward, t=two-way forward

I need your help!

As many of you know, I am currently in the hospital battling leukemia. I am doing my best to keep up with what’s happening in the other leagues, but I’m only catching half of what I would normally track. If you see an omission, or a blatant oversight on this list, please draw my attention to it via the comments. Shine a spotlight on the player so that for next month I won’t miss him. Thank you!

I haven’t seen the top 50 prospect goalies listed since May. Is there a chance you can get the time to update the list? Thank you.

I think that the AHL points leader should make a jump near his teammate Stankoven.

  Ha! When I was reviewing that, he wasn’t the points leader then lol (3 assists that very night)
Joel 2023-12-12 at 13:02Log in to Reply

Chibrikov is nowhere near Carter Savoie in term of development. A point per game in the AHL at 20 yr old… the season is still young but he should make a little jump.
