The last two seasons were two of the best rookie classes in some time. The likes of Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Patrik Laine all entered the league. There's also Jack Eichel, Artemi Panarin, Shayne Gostisbehere, Zach Werenski, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, Matthew Tkachuk, and Sebastian Aho, who have all made their marks on the league.

However, if you play your cards right, you could end up with a really promising young player, which is great for keeper leagues. They’re probably all taken in dynasty…

Arizona Coyotes From now until the start of next season, I’ll be looking at each NHL team’s prospect situation and assessing each prospect’s projected fantasy value. With all due respect to turnover leagues, I will be focusing solely on keeper and dynasty leagues, because prospects have minimal value in re-draft leagues.
