The 17th annual Midseason Fantasy Guide will be released on January 16. Pre-order it here!
As always, prospects within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs and/or personal bias.

Not a lot of movement this month, as last month’s update was so late. Just minor reactions to the WJC team rosters and snubs.

Dobber, you haven’t done the prospect goalie ratings since last January. Will you be doing them in the near future?
At this point I’m taking the younger, higher scoring Hutson over Clark. I’d probably take a few names over Jiricek as well. Getting traded is a bad omen. It’s pretty tight though! Is Jackson Lacombe for real? I’m starting to believe.
