Rendina is the only name i’ve heard of from Germany so far.

 

[ForsbergForever]

These kids are still in elementary school, it might be a little early...

 

[wetcoast]

These kids are still in elementary school, it might be a little early...

Also unfair as it seems Canadian and US kids don't start to actually play hockey until they are older....

But I guess it will be a couple of weeks then we will see the top 2030 NHL prospects.

 

[M2Beezy]

2027 draft is looking like itll have a deep 1st round, unlike the 2028 and 2029 drafts that not as deep up front but more quality in later rounds than 2027. But like was already said the 2030 draft is the one to keep our eyes on

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

The guy just comes up with names. On each of the draft topics, there are the same sarcasm.

If there had been this tournament this year, some names would already emerge as very likely selectable prospects.

I also think it's a bit early but after the first international meeting of players born in 2009, we can get an idea of which Frans Karjalahti.

At 10 years old, Aron Kiviharju had already revealed himself (lead stats as D). Top 8 of the tournament points classification: Savoie, Miroshnichenko, Hult, Wright, Kemell, Vuorio, McGroarty, Slafkovsky.

As of June 2016. They were younger than the players listed here. 7/9 are top prospects now. Hult and Vuorio will probably be content with a career in Liiga.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Why not 2028?

 

[Castle8130]

I don't know about hockey, but I hear Otto Jutsen makes some nice maccaroni art

 

[alko]

Why not 2028?

Here you go, first name mentioned.

No real talent in 2027 like McDavid?

 

[Maverick41]

I actually like these threads, but this is definitely too early for me to contribute anything.
Maybe in a year, but more likely in two years, I might have heard about and/or seen anyone eligible for this draft.

 

[hi]

I was going to comment on this in another recent thread (maybe the 2028 one linked in the post above), but maybe it would be a good idea to limit new threads for prospects for drafts that are 3 years away or less. Any thread that isn't a 2022/2023/2024 draft gets locked and no new threads for drafts after that are allowed. After the 2022 Draft is completed, 2025 drafts are allowed etc etc

To me it just seems ridiculous to be posting about 11-15 year old kids and critiquing the way they play hockey

@Caser
@DaveG
@Lucbourdon
@Redwingsfan

Thoughts?

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

Why not 2028?

A Finn talks a lot about Frans Karjalahti

5 years in advance is the norm here, so yeah this is a little early.

 

[Frk It]

Stop this.

 

[ForsbergForever]

I heard about this late 2009 born player out of Alberta, I think his name is Dustin Rose? He's big for his age but has such silky mitts, I think he's definitely a prospect to look out for.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I'm sure they still look older than Jack Hughes

 

[Bonin21]

Ridiculous.

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

On all topics of this kind there are the same remarks.

I warn in advance; from WSI U12 2022, I open a topic on the NHL 2028 draft or even 2029 if a prospect born at the end of the year stands out statistically.

In 2016, if I had been on the site, I would have opened the topic of the 2022 and even 2024 draft by quoting Wright, Savoie, Slafkovsky, McGroaty, Miroshnichenko, Kemell, Kiviharju.

I have been following the evolution of Kiviharju since he was 10 years old and it is fascinating and exciting. At 15, he already plays in U20 Finland.

He will not break Mikko Kokkonen's precocity record, which I ranked 23rd in my 2019 board and who looks to establish himself as one of Liiga's best defenders at 20.

Congrats dude, that’s so cool!!! You have a rare scouting talent and I completely take you at your word when it comes to projecting guys six years out. Tell me, what’s your top-10 for 2028???

Seconded. Even Crosby and McDavid only really started to generate a stir when they were 13/14.

Dude I'm not a scout, I don't pretend to look like it.

I am passionate about hockey and more particularly international competitions in all age categories.

I find it very entertaining to follow the development of a player from his childhood to his prime.

McDavid and more Crosby have not had the opportunity to play in international tournaments bringing together the best players in the world from 12 years old (or even less for gifted children).

In recent years this has been the case and the history of these tournaments shows how exciting it is.

There is no question of making an NHL 2028 Top 10; making one for 2022 seems to me very risky today. But to talk about the best young players by country. I'm currently doing top 32 but it's just a prediction game to have fun watching the evolutions. Nothing serious before spring 2022.

It was while playing this game that I was able to see the progress of Finnish and now Slovak hockey before it materialized.

It's funny to know that at this moment a young Belarusian defender is walking very well and should be talked about a lot.

The site is called Hockey Future. Calm down and if you're not happy, don't read the thread.
If you want to know where I am compared to my closed mocks :

2022 1 S.Wright
2023 1 C.Bedard 2 M.Michkov 3 D.Dvorsky (maybe)
2024 2 prospects with elite potential notified (A.Kiviharju & C.Eiserman)
2025 A bunch of very good prospects - waiting for mor competition to predict the future n°1
2026 1 notified prospect : Ryan Roobroeck
2027 none
2028 Frans Karjalahti (to be followed by following the advice of a member of the site)

If it had not been for the Covid, we would have a lot more information on the players born at the end of the 2000s. This year will be rich in information.

It's just a funny game. You can swallow your morgue. Please.

 

[hellwar9]

Probably very soon. It probably can't really be estimated that far. However, of the Slovak players mentioned by @czech, Juraj Rausa, who already dominates the Slovak U16 league, may be really interesting. Already 08's, or late 07's are from the Slovak point of view in the U16 league interesting and Rausa is late 08 and he one of the best in the league today. But I would still wait 1-2 years.

Juraj Rausa at eliteprospects.com

 

[Maplebeasts]

These kids are 12-13. Any info about their games you could possibly ascertain is worthless.

 

[alko]

Please, dont lock this threads. Just filter the guys, who are annoying us with their laments aka @hi, @Bonin21 ...

 

[Thomas Chathoot]

Some guys I have locked down for 2027 are Kaeden Aucoin who will likely make the U17 USDP squad in 3 years. Eli McKamey probably wont be a high end guy considering that he had 9-24-33 in 28 U15 CSSHL games as a 13 year old which isnt overly impressive. I am mainly interested in Aucoin more then anybody else as of rn
