I was wondering if anyone could provide a list Or something of who the top prospects in the nhl Are?
Top Prospects in the NHL
- Thread starter CorporateVrabs
- Start date
You’ll have to be more specific . What is your definition of a prospect, and are you considering any age cut offs?
There are many lists out there, and nhl.com, hockey writers, and Button/Pronman/Wheeler often do a best prospect list once a year.

I threw this together on EP’s ranking‘s yesterday? Zero thought pit into it. Zero criteria as to what cutoffs are. Zero actual analysis. Just threw players where I thought they should be, zero rules just went off gut instinct.
Still took me longer than it should have, made it as I was watching the OHL cup.

Like the effort!
I am a big fan of Luneau as well... To think he was drafted AFTER Warren and by the same group of scouts is truly one of the most baffling thing I've witnessed at a draft in recent history. How can you watch them play on the same team and think Warren is superior?
But even as a big Luneau fan, I prefer Mintyukov's pure skill.
He's my favorite D prospect after Jiricek, even in front of Nemec. So much offensive potential.

I think he hates your list because Buchelnikov isn't top 5. That's the only logical explanation.

I’m not as high on Slafkovsky as others.
I don’t want to derail this thread with that opinion, because I already know you and Habs fans wouldn’t like it.
I’m going to cop out and say “I don’t consider him a prospect”

Don't let the children stop you from a real conversation. Who cares if they get offended
. Is he 300th? 105th?The names that stuck out for me are also Montreal owned players. 99: Mesar, 86: Riley Kidney, 88: Joshua Roy
I think Slafkovský's offensive range tops out as a Landeskog level producer. His floor is much lower. I don't see his offensive as high end as others but I have a hard time putting all three of this names above him right now on a top 100 list. Out of the named ones I am highest on Roy (could easily be better).
These three prospects could all potentially be better but the odds of all three doing it is low. I think with Slafkovský's size he will fill out and be a productive player. Just not quite what you are hoping for with the #1 pick. I wanted Wright or one of the two D. I still can see Slafkovský proving me wrong and being a force. The tools are there. He is just a long way from that at this point.
On another note Shane Wright is ranked #3 and didn't have a great year l. Slafkovský got injured with a rough year and is unlisted. Think that gap is too large. These are all projections we will all be wrong all the time.

I had Luneau absurdly high compared to the consensus last year.
Don’t see many flaws to his game and he has elite decision making ability. It’s high compared to where most people would have him, but I’m one of the few that have been VERY high on him for a while so it should come as no surprise.

It wouldn’t be that low. Early-mid twenties is probably where I’d slot him.
I’ve never been too high on him. Plays the game smaller than how he should and his decision making is frankly, bad.

My only lingering hope is he that doesn't have as much experience on NA ice. He got away with playing with his head down on larger ice against weaker players (strength). He has been caught several times with it down in the NHL. If he can figure that out he has the tools. The NHL is too fast to play with your head down. You will get away with it for a while (if lucky) and then have your season ended on one hit.

Thanks for putting together that list, it's quite interesting!
As a Habs fan, I have the same concern about the decision-making/IQ with Slafkovsky. He showed flashes of good IQ and quick thinking through his shortened season, but it is not an area of strength and he will need to find a way to develop that skill if he's going to be an impact player in the NHL.
