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.
