This is exactly the type of article/analysis that is missing from Dobber's Prospect Guide, which although a terrific read (by far the best in the world on prospects) could really benefit greatly from an analysis of how a player's fantasy value is impacted by the team that drafts him. I look, for example, at Ryan Ellis who going into his draft year was arguably the #1 fantasy option for a dman. However, he was drafted by the deep Nashville Predators and so far he hasn't had a sniff of fantasy value in his career. A player like Del Zotto, on the other hand, saw his fantasy value increase significantly when he was drafted by the Rangers because they had an obvious need for a player like Del Zotto.

Perhaps what I'm suggesting, other than Dobber doing this in his Prospect Guide, would be for you to have a follow-up to this article after the draft to see what players, if any, have their value in both the short and long-term change after the draft.

Again, great job.
