1. Cole Hutson - D - Boston University NCAA
Based on how dynamic Hutson was at the World Juniors, outshining top prospects like Sam Dickenson, Zeev Buium, and other first round NHL picks, Hutson was a tournament all star and an MVP candidate. Having a great year at Boston University as well.
2. Liam Greentree - F - Windsor Spitfires OHL
Still shocked at Greentree's drop in the draft, the young OHL captain seems to have taken in personally. He currently leads the OHL with 68 points in 38 games on pace for 120 points on the season far outpacing players like Beckett Sennecke, Colby Barlow, Cole Beaudoin and Easton Cowan.
3. Jakub Stancl - F - Kelowna Rockets WHL
Stancl was a tough read in the 2023 draft starting his junior hockey in Czechia, then moving to the Swedish leagues. Playing for four different teams in his draft year didn't provide the continuity for a draft eligible. He has since moved to Canada and having a strong year in Kelowna, and was one of the leaders in scoring at the 2025 WJC.
4. Jakub Dobes - G - Laval AHL/Montreal NHL
Earning the call up from the AHL Rocket after a 9-3-1 start with a .910 sv%, Dobes hasn't slowed down with 2-0-0 start with .982 and 0.48 GAA. Lots is expected of the 6'4 215lb Czech.
5. Simon Robertsson - F - Springfield AHL
Robertsson is not as well know as other prospects but his smart two way play garners lots of praise. Taking some time to adjust to North America in his first season, the 6'0 190lb forward has 4 points in his last five games.
6. Alex Jefferies - F - Bridgeport AHL
Jefferies plays with tons of pace and after a four year career in the NCAA he has started his pro career as one of the top rookies in the AHL scoring at a .75 ppg clip, good for 13th among rookies.
7. Tanner Howe - F - Calgary WHL
Recently traded in the WHL by Regina, Howe has moved to Calgary to bolster their line up to compete for the playoffs. The Pats former captain has since scored 9 points in 6 games and played for Canada at the 2025 WJC.
8. Adam Kleber - D - University Minnesota Duluth NCAA
Kleber may not provide as much flash as other defensemen, but he certainly will shut down other team's offensive players. The 6'5 210 lb blueliner was a defensive catalyst in the Gold Medal winning USA 2005 WJC team.
9. Aiden Fink - F - Penn State NCAA
Just like everywhere else, Aiden Fink is probably underrated on this list. Currently the top scorer in the NCAA ahead of Gabe Perrault, Ryan Leonard, Jimmy Snuggerud, and Michael Hage, Fink's elusive skating and quick hands seem to produce at every level.
10. Corson Ceulemans - D - Cleveland AHL
The former 1st day pick in the HFNHL 2021 Draft has been at the University of Wisconsin and now in his 2nd full year in the AHL. He has benefited from some players moving on in the Columbus organization depth chart will help in his development.
