As the minor leagues begin their championship rounds this week, the season, while officially not over -- we are looking at you El Paso -- has basically wrapped up for 2016. Although perhaps not as star-studded as the 2015 class, about three-quarters of our preseason list received some taste of caffeine, ranging from Corey Seagers dazzling full pot of coffee to Richie Shaffers disappointing spot of tea.While the mines in places like Iowa and Reno have closed for the winter, there are still gems to be found. The difference is they are now in bigger cities and in plain view of a larger number of prospectors. Take for example Willson Contreras.The catcher-turned-outfielder-turned-catcher ranked 47th on our initial ranking. He tore through the minor leagues, flew up our weekly list and made his debut in the middle of the summer. Things have cooled down since his dazzling debut, but the 24-year-old is still hitting .263/.340/.447 with 21 extra-base hits (nine home runs) while splitting time between left field and catcher; eligibility that makes him quite the bench player at just around 50 percent ownership.More recently, Seth Lugo, he of the spin rates that make the Rubberband man jealous, has been the big apple of several fantasy eyes. Also with ownership around the half-century mark, he figures to get a little less than a handful of chances down the stretch as he fills in for the underachieving and undermanned Mets staff.If we set the bar right where those two players are at -- hovering around 50 percent owned -- and look slightly below, there are at least a dozen or so useful rookies that can help during this final push toward a championship. With that in mind, here are 10 names still worthy of your consideration and how and where they can help.*Note the percentage of ownership is as of the night of Sept. 12.1.

CALGARY, Alberta -- Marian Hossa has been in the NHL long enough to knows how to make a goal out of seemingly nothing.Hossas team-leading 10th goal of the season with 2:23 left in the third period lifted the Chicago Blackhawks to a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Friday night.Chad Johnson threw up his glove to stop a hard shot from Artemi Panarin but the puck went off the top of his glove and high in the air. It ended up landing behind him where Hossa got his stick on it for his 80th game-winning goal.I dont think the goalie knew exactly where the puck was and the defender tried to put his stick out, Hossa said. I tried to hook on his stick so he doesnt touch the puck and the puck just bounced pretty much close to the goal line and I just tried to put it underneath me in the net.As the puck trickled over the line, Hossa was in the crease and in the process of falling on the Flames goaltender.Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan said he would have challenged for goaltender interference but he did not have a timeout left, having used it earlier in the period.Hossa, who has five goals in his last six games, is tied for fourth in the NHL in goals behind Patrik Laine (12), Sidney Crosby (11) and Michael Grabner (11).I just try to put the puck at the net right now, Hossa said. When you feel like the pucks going in for you, you just try to be around the net or shoot pucks to the net and try to make plays.Its nothing Chicago coach Joel Quenneville hasnt seen before.Hes scored some goals from right around that net here to get us a point or two and tonights a good illustration of how important hes been for us, he said.Ryan Hartman and Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago, which has points in 12 of its last 13 (10-1-2) games. Corey Crawford stopped 28 shots.Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan scored for Calgary, and Johnson had 21 savesThese ones are tough games. I thought we played well, Gulutzan said. We needed a little bit more out of our special teams, but overall, we played a good game, its just unfortunate what happened.Down 1-0 after the first period, Calgary took the lead early in the second with two goals 3:30 apart from its new-look top linee.dddddddddddd With Johnny Gaudreau sidelined six weeks with a broken finger, Bennett has been inserted into his spot on left wing with Monahan and Troy Brouwer.Bennett jammed a loose puck past Corey Crawford at 3:33 from a scramble in the crease that was all set up by a dangerous rush from defenseman TJ Brodie.On their next shift, Monahan was credited with his fifth goal when his centering pass deflected in off the skate of Blackhawks defenseman Gustav Forsling at 7:03.Chicago tied it with about 5 1/2 minutes left in the second when Seabrook blasted a slap shot past Johnson, who was screened by Giordano.It was a power-play goal for Chicago and came on the Blackhawks first man advantage of the night.Its the same old story with special teams. Weve got to be better. If we get one on the power play, it might be a different outcome, said Bennett. Its tough to swallow right now, especially when we played a good game like we did tonight.Special teams once again let down the Flames. Their 30th ranked power play failed to score on five chances against the 30th ranked Chicago penalty kill -- while the 28th ranked penalty kill gave up one goal on one chance.The Blackhawks nearly scored in the opening minute of the first period but video review showed that Mark Giordano pulled the puck off the goal-line before it bounced past a sprawled Johnson.Hartman then gave Chicago the 1-0 lead at 7:42 when he got behind Dennis Wideman, took a perfect breakaway pass from Artem Anisimov, and while fending off the Flames defenseman, fired a shot inside the goal post.Game notes Flames LW Kris Versteeg (groin) took part in morning skate and is nearing a return. Hes missed seven games ... Calgary has gone 10 games without a goal from a defenseman. ... Chicago LW Tyler Motte (lower body) missed his fifth game, but coach Joel Quenneville says hes a possibility to play Saturday.UP NEXTBlackhawks: At Vancouver on Saturday night in the third game of a seven-game trip.Flames: At Detroit on Saturday night in the opener of a six-game trip.
