NA-gems in Yahoo

[Deas]

Couldn't find a post about this.

So for us playing dynasty leagues on Yahoo we know there's always a bunch of prospects added to the game without being in the NHL yet. These are marked as NA. Them being added is due to contract status? There seem to be some inconsistencies though so I'm not 100% sure what decides who's added or not.

Anyway. Spring 2025. Who are the best NA:s to add for those of us who are not in win now mode?

So for those looking for an overview of the current NA:s. There you go. A rough one. I'm 100% I'm forgetting/missing someone.

Personally I'm doing a retool season despite a very good core. Was getting a little old and did sell high on some established stars. Our league allows max 5 NA:s. To avoid complete tank shows from GM:s who later ends up giving up after a year or two because a rebuild is never that easy.

Already taken/drafted by others are: Demidov, Yakemchuk, Catton, Luchanko, Dickinson, Casey, Mailloux, Parekh, Levshunov, Buium, Sennecke, both Jiriceks, Nemec, Reinbacher.

I currently have

Nikishin (he doesn't exist but I have to use one of the allowed NA-adds as a placeholder), Hutson, Nabokov, Nadeau, Artamonov.

What I'm wondering is - Ilya Protas and Igor Chernyshov instead of Artamonov and Nadeau?

Nadeau is doing very well in relation to age in the AHL but some describe him as not high end. Artamonov is doing very well in relation to age in the KHL, but he's not even in America yet. I have a strong preference for players playing next year already (I know Hutson initially probably won't be but can live with one like that) and not like two years away.
