Top Prospects: The Forwards
Fall 2024
The draft class of 2024 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.
At the top of the list sits the number one overall draft pick and San Jose's hope for the future franchise All-Star, Macklin Celebrini. The former Boston University center signed with the Sharks after the draft, foregoing his college eligibility and securing a spot at the top of the San Jose lineup. He should be the considered the frontrunner for the 2024-2025 Calder Trophy, but the competition will be fierce.
Just behind Celebrini is the former top forward prospect from the Spring 2024 ranking, Matvei Michkov, who also signed an NHL contract this summer. Michkov will join the Philadelphia Flyers this fall.
