Brad Lambert

Finland vs Austria (WJC 2022)

12/27/2021

Maybe the best skater in the draft class. His movement, acceleration, speed are all elite. He has good hands and shot, but there are too many times when he tries to do too much or doesn't try enough to get it back. So much to like, but still a lot of question marks for me. If he can develop into a player who absorbs the game instead of fighting it, he could be a top-line NHL forward. If not, he'll bounce around more, have some flashes, but never meet expectations.

Draft Ranking - 2026

Below is the Hockey Prophets draft ranking for the 2026 NHL Draft class of prospects. The Hockey Prophets ranking is not an attempt to predict where a player will be drafted, but is instead a prediction of how their ultimate hockey careers in the NHL will pan out. Note that the "Weighted Rank" column is a compiled rank of several other publications, weighted by their historical draft prediction results.

The table below is interactive, so clicking on a player will take you directly to their player profile page, where you can see player notes and other information.

Top Prospects: The Defensemen

Fall 2025

Embed from Getty Images

The 2025-2026 season should see an outstanding class of rookie NHL defensemen, with all of the top five in this iteration of the Hockey Prophets' top defensemen prospects likely to see full-time NHL action. The league's top 2025 draft pick Matthew Schaefer will almost certainly get a chance to crack the New York Islanders roster coming out of camp, and the next three--Levshunov, Parekh and Zeev Buium--all had seen ice time at the end of last season. Throw in San Jose's Sam Dickinson and Montreal's David Reinbacher, and the influx of top-tiered blueliner talent is obvious.

Top Prospects: The Forwards

Fall 2025

Embed from Getty Images

The draft class of 2025 has been folded into the top prospect rankings, while multiple players from the spring list have graduated or aged out of the rankings, meaning that the fall list is a totally revamped ranking of the world's top forward prospects.

For the second year in a row, the San Jose Sharks have the number one forward prospect, despite having graduated last year's top forward Macklin Celebrini. The Sharks drafted the supremely talented center Michael Misa second overall in the 2025 NHL draft, and just signed him to an entry-level contract. Misa could make the jump to the NHL this season.

Top Prospects: The NHL System Rankings

Embed from Getty Images

One long-standing feature at the Hockey Prophets has been the top prospects by team ranked lists. For the first time, Hockey Prophets is publishing a ranking of the NHL systems. The rankings are based on a few key system attributes such as the highest ranking prospects, the number of prospects high on the rankings, the total depth of the system, and other considerations. Having a single, super-talented prospect will weigh heavily, but so will having several high-quality prospects. When it all gets sorted out, the ranking should give a feeling for the systems that are going in the right direction and those that have a lot of building to do in the years ahead.

The thirty-two teams in the ranking will be published as they are produced, with discussions of each system and some of the key prospects in the team's pool. Each team will be given a score on a scale of one to five, with one being a shallow pool and five being a sea full of potential stars.

Team Rankings:

#32: Boston Bruins
#31: Florida Panthers
#30: Tampa Bay Lightning
#29: Vancouver Canucks
#28: Toronto Maple Leafs
#27: Vegas Golden Knights
#26: Ottawa Senators
#25: New York Islanders
#24: New York Rangers
#23: Edmonton Oilers
#22: Pittsburgh Penguins
#21: Buffalo Sabres
#20: Colorado Avalanche
#19: New Jersey Devils
#18: Carolina Hurricanes
#17: Dallas Stars
#16: Washington Capitals
#15: Los Angeles Kings
#14: Nashville Predators
#13: Winnipeg Jets
#12: Philadelphia Flyers
#11: St Louis Blues
#10: Minnesota Wild

Top Prospects: The Defensemen

Fall 2024

Embed from Getty Images

The entire top five from the last top Hockey Prophets' top blueliner prospects list graduated last year:

David Jiricek
Simon Nemec
Luke Hughes
Pavel Mintyukov
Kevin Korchinski

In total, eighteen players from the list graduated as NHL players, twelve of whom where in the lists top 100 prospects, while another 85 reached 24 years of age and have been removed. The highest ranking of the players who aged out was Lassi Thompson (ranked 37th), who never made much of an impact in North America and has returned to Sweden for the upcoming 2024-2025 season.

The new list is topped by the second-overall draft pick from the 2024 NHL draft, followed closely by Montreal's fifth-overall pick from the 2023 draft. Six of the new top ten defenders are 2024 draftees who will bring some tremendous scoring potential from the blue line.
