Top Prospects: The Defensemen

 

With this fall edition of The Defensemen, six high-end offensive blueliners from the 2022 NHL draft class slot straight into the top fifteen. Owen Power retains the top spot for what is all but certain to be his final appearance on the list before graduating as a full-time defender for the Sabres. Luke Hughes steps up one spot as previous number Jake Sanderson slides down to sixth. Sanderson has dropped down a handful of spots not due to a weakening opinion of his potential, but more a strengthening of Hughes and Edvinsson and the addition of top draft picks Jiricek and Nemec.
