The Athletic’s top 114 prospects under 23 listed in 5 tiers (MVP, Franchise, All-Star, Star and Support)

[Spektre]

Snuggerud = Tier 4 Star

Why he's here
After back-to-back 21-goal campaigns (scoring 20 is one of the hardest things to do in college hockey) as a freshman and sophomore, Snuggerud has established himself as a legitimate top prospect in his own right. There was a time when he was viewed as the third-best player on USA's top line at the NTDP with Logan Cooley and Gauthier, and some wondered if he could do it on his own. Now he's expected to turn pro and play NHL games for the Blues in the spring. He projects as a top-six winger at his ceiling. There was some consideration for moving him down into Tier 5A, though. He feels fringe here.

Dvorsky =Tier 5 Support

Why he's here
One scout felt Dvorsky could move up a bucket from Tier 5A into Tier 4C, but I know there are others who soured on him after he struggled to take a step at pro pace and won't qualify him as a potential star until he shows he can play at that speed and do what he has done at lower levels. He was a top player immediately in the OHL and the staff with the Slovak national team believe he's got Ryan O'Reilly upside in him because of his combination of power-play skills (he's got a dangerous one-timer and is an excellent saucer passer/puck protector) and five-on-five two-way commitment (faceoff and stick detail, etc.).



*If* the outsiders opinions are correct there’s no way Army’s plan works.

It does not appear to be Pay-walled if you want to look for yourself. I don't have a sub and was able to access the whole list and look at the blurbs for all of them I checked.

Just scrolling through, there were some pretty wild selections. The takeaway, never take 1 list as gospel.

Certainly an option, but then turn it back on to receive necessary pop-ups. But that’s also a good idea.
