Welcome back to yet another draft ranking! If you’re a SJHN YouTube/Discord member, you got some of this article early. I’ve enjoyed sharing my thoughts, clips and plays of the players with you all in the Discord as I’ve put this list together
If you’re not a member, consider joining! We have exclusive draft content, early access videos and articles, plus a growing community of San Jose Sharks fans and hockey nerds alike. You’ll get early access to SJHN videos and behind-the-scenes stuff from Sheng and myself daily.
This year we have a top-64 and a whole lot of honorable mentions that I am excited to show you all.
I have two reference points next to each prospect: EliteProspects Ranking (EP) and the EP consolidated ranking from multiple sources (Cons.) The consensus ranking is from June 19th, so some may be off by a few **** es as they update that frequently. Each player’s top line shows where they are ranked, with the gap to my own rank in parentheses. A plus means I’m higher on the player than that source; a minus means I’m lower.
Some players carry a Perfect Fit flag. These are the players I’m more confident have a place in an NHL lineup, even if that ceiling isn’t necessarily very high. They carry certain NHL qualities in their pace, processing, or compete that I think they fit different NHL archetypes at the next level despite size or other limitations.
