Graduating a high-end prospect such as Matthew Savoie is ultimately a positive sign for the organization, but it inevitably takes a toll on prospect depth. While the Oilers will eventually need to turn their attention toward replenishing the pipeline, building for the future is not the immediate priority. For now, the focus remains squarely on maximizing the Connor McDavid era and constructing a roster capable of delivering a Stanley Cup to Edmonton.
To that end, the Oilers have leveraged much of their high-end draft capital and young assets to strengthen the NHL roster. Edmonton has already moved its next two first-round selections, but the organization has retained some flexibility by holding second-round picks in both drafts. The system is currently headlined by Isaac Howard, ranked 55th on McKeen’s prospect list, who appears close to securing a full-time role in the NHL. Although he has yet to translate his early AHL rookie success into consistent NHL production, his offensive upside remains evident. Joining him in Bakersfield is undrafted NCAA signing Quinn Hutson, who has enjoyed a remarkable start to his professional career. The rookie forward has quickly established himself as one of the AHL’s most productive first-year players, pacing the field with a near 65-point rookie trajectory.
With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl firmly in their primes, Edmonton’s approach remains rooted in the present. The objective is simple: continue surrounding their superstars with the necessary support to finally bring the Stanley Cup back to Alberta’s capital.

Ike Howard has been on fire offensively this season with the Bakersfield Condors (47 GP, 24-26-50), creating quality scoring chances each time the puck is on his stick in the offensive zone. With Howard, it’s not just his shot that absolutely terrifies goalies; he’s also a capable playmaker who can create space for his linemates with his stickwork and deception, and he has been quite effective at it for his linemates Quinn Hutson and Josh Samanski this season. Howard already has an NHL-calibre shot and has seen time with the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL this season, but continuing to get reps at the AHL level with the Condors will be paramount for his development. He needs to get top line minutes to really build consistency in his game that will translate at the NHL level, and while he probably deserves to be playing with the Oilers right now, he’s not far off. Howard projects as an offensive goal scorer that should spend a long time in an NHL top six.
Quinn Hutson has been extremely impressive at the AHL level as a first-year professional with the Bakersfield Condors. Signed by the Edmonton Oilers as an undrafted free agent out of Boston University, Hutson has translated his offensive production from the NCAA level to the AHL level, where he has been one of the top scorers in the league this season (67GP, 30-33-63). The hallmark of Hutson’s game is his intelligence; he knows where to be on the ice, and this allows him to put himself in great position to capitalize on scoring chances. He also has a good shot that can beat goalies cleanly, and he’s very strong positionally in his own zone. Hutson will finish the rest of this season in Bakersfield, but should play a pivotal role in the Condors’ playoff run and really position himself well to make the Oilers as a full-time player next season. Hutson projects as a middle six scoring winger who can hold his own in the defensive zone.
Beau Akey has adapted well to the pro game after a disappointing end to his junior career with the Barrie Colts. Akey was selected as a talented two-way defenseman who could excel on both sides of the puck due to his great stride and edgework, and while he did impress at times in the junior game, he never really developed into that all-situations defenseman who could really drive the play at the junior level. As such, Akey’s status as a top prospect within the Edmonton Oilers’ system was put on hold as he entered this season. But to Akey’s credit, he has looked quite good as a rookie defender with the Bakersfield Condors (42GP, 2-8-10), while being tasked with playing top four minutes against opposing teams’ best players on an injury-riddled Condors’ defence. Akey’s skating has always been his best tool, but his smart hockey sense has really come through this season as well; he has good positioning, and he plays a simple game. Akey ultimately projects as a bottom-pairing defenseman at the NHL level.
Lafrenière made the most of a terrible situation in Kamloops last season, proving himself as a trustworthy player who battled hard night after night, even though his team lost a lot more than it won. All the work that he put in helped him get better as a prospect, and his commitment and loyalty are now being rewarded, as he is still getting to play big minutes on a club that is deeper and significantly more successful than it was before. And make no mistake, he deserves a lot of individual credit for that success: he’s centering his own line, he’s part of the top powerplay unit for the Blazers, and he takes a regular shift on the penalty kill. He’s about equally good offensively as he is defensively, which gives him different pathways that his development could take to help get him to the NHL. The Stanley Cup-chasing Oilers haven’t had many draft picks to use in recent years, so they must be pretty pleased about the early returns that they’re seeing with Lafrenière.
Fischer, who was a stout two-way defender who defended very well for the NTDP during his draft season, has always been a mature defender who plays responsibly. A heavier defender, he skates very well and plays the body effectively. He’s also a very willing shot blocker, doing whatever it takes to win a game for his team. But his offensive tools were under the microscope, and something that scouts and coaches would keep an eye on as he entered the collegiate ranks. He has improved in that area with each passing season, going from 16 points to 21 points in his first two seasons. This year, he has 23 points in 33 games, just two points back from last year’s totals, in eight fewer games. Since joining Notre Dame, he has taken a big step in his puck-moving abilities. He is far more involved and efficient at moving pucks. He also looks more willing to attack the middle of the ice as both a passer and a shooter in the NCAA, showing more confidence in that area. Fischer projects as a bottom pair defender who can play in all situations. But his bread and butter is that of a defensively responsible defender.
Viljami Marjala has emerged out of nowhere and re-established himself as a legitimate NHL prospect with his excellent play this season for the Bakersfield Condors (72GP, 17-43-60). Marjala was signed by the Oilers as a free agent out of TPS in the Finnish Liiga, and while he put up good numbers in Finland, it was not expected that Marjala’s offensive game would translate as seamlessly to the AHL level. Marjala’s best attribute is his playmaking; he’s an exceptional passer who can find anyone on the ice, and he’s great at creating time and space for his teammates when he has the puck on his stick. Marjala is also a capable player in his own zone, and while he does need to keep building more strength, he has done quite well this year at the AHL level. Marjala ultimately projects as more of a winger at the NHL level than a centre, and he should be at the top of the line for call-up duty this season. Marjala has the tools to become a third line scoring winger at the NHL level.
Josh Samanski is a big, talented power forward who has been playing hard all season with the Bakersfield Condors (45GP, 8-23-31). Like Marjala, Samanski was signed by the Oilers out of Europe, and he, too, has done a great job of translating his game to the North American sheet. The hallmark of Samanski’s game is his skill in-tight; he utilizes his big frame to shield the puck against opposing defenders, and he’s got nice hands for a big player that allows him to make that quick pass to an open teammate. Samanski is also a very good skater for a player of his size (6-foot-3, 195 pounds), so he has all of the attributes he needs to develop into a talented power forward at the NHL level. Samanski does need to work on his confidence in making plays, as there are many times when he perhaps defers too much to his linemates, but overall, he has progressed very well this season and looks like a legitimate NHL prospect for the Edmonton Oilers.
Even though Lewandowski didn’t produce a lot of points last season he still drew plenty of attention from scouts as a draft-eligible prospect, because it was clear that he possessed some useful tools that could be worked with and had a physical foundation that could be built upon. Fast-forward almost one year and the big German winger can still rifle shots and protect pucks down below better than the vast majority of players his age, but he’s showing up on the score sheet a lot more often because he’s better adjusted to the speed and intensity of hockey in the WHL. He’s even leading Saskatoon in scoring by a wide margin. He does still have a long way to go, however, when it comes to improving his skating ability and pace of play — his two biggest weaknesses — to the point where they’re even just passable at higher levels. Does all of that sound a bit like any other German player that you know, possibly one who is also part of the Oilers organization?
Connor Clattenburg has found himself a nice little niche that not many players can occupy, nor a role that many players are willing to take: a physical demon. Clattenburg has great speed, and he’s always willing to lay a strong hit on the defenseman when he’s on the forecheck, and these are both attributes of his game that make him a surefire NHLer. The other areas of Clattenburg’s game still need work, particularly his work when the puck is on his stick, but he’s a capable player in his own zone who knows what he needs to do to alleviate pressure. There might be a chance Clattenburg can develop into more than just a fourth-line physical presence, such as a penalty killer, but he will need more seasoning at the AHL level for that to come to fruition. Clattenburg ultimately projects as a physical fourth-line player who can fight when called upon. In today’s day and age, especially with playoff hockey right around the corner, that’s not something that’s so bad to have.
Roby Järventie has struggled with the injury bug over the past couple of seasons, which has stalled his timeline as an NHL prospect, but he has gotten off to a great start this year with the Bakersfield Condors (61GP, 23-24-47). Järventie plays a heavy game that works great around the net, and he’s got a heavy shot that can beat goalies cleanly when he has time and space to fire. Järventie also has the skill offensively to make plays for his teammates, but it will be his willingness to get to the hard areas of the ice that will really cement his game at the NHL level. Defensively, Järventie still has room to improve the level of physicality in his game, especially his compete level, but he has gotten better this year in the defensive zone. Järventie ultimately projects as a middle-six forward who can grind offensively and score points, but there is offensive potential that could lead to a bigger role.
The former captain of the U.S. U18 team, Barnett has been excellent for the Michigan Wolverines this year as a freshman. He’s a dependable defensive player, but his play with the puck and offensive confidence are improving.
At this point, Berezkin’s offensive development appears to have stalled in Russia. The offensively gifted power forward looked to be a diamond in the rough, but now the offensive upside has to be questioned. Eligible to be signed by the Oilers at the end of the KHL season.
A serviceable two-way defender, Yevseyev has broken out as a KHL contributor this year. He doesn’t likely possess significant upside, but he has enough tools and sense to be a depth piece down the line.
This was supposed to be Nicholl’s big breakout with the Knights; however, injuries got in the way and now there has to be some doubt that the Oilers even sign him by June.
After a breakout season in Sweden, the big goaltender opted to sign with Edmonton and come to North America. However, having spent the year in the ECHL, it’s obvious that his game still needs a lot of work; he’s very much a long-term project in the crease.

Prospect System Ranking – 26th (May 2025 - 30th)
GM: Stan Bowman Hired: July 2024
COACH: Kris Knoblauch Hired: November 2023
While the Edmonton Oilers remain near the bottom of McKeen’s prospect rankings, they continue to make efforts aimed at supporting their championship ambitions.
Their latest move involved a prospect swap, acquiring disgruntled NHL-ready forward Isaac Howard in exchange for Sam O’Reilly, a prospect better suited to contribute down the line. Howard now slots in alongside Matthew Savoie as the top of the Oilers' prospect food chain, with both sitting on the cusp of cracking Edmonton’s NHL roster.
Acquired from the Buffalo Sabres last summer, Savoie finished fifth among AHL rookies with 54 points in 66 games after a dominant WHL career, where he posted a 1.41 points-per-game average. He’s not only the team’s top prospect but also their best internal option for immediate secondary scoring.
Below them are Beau Akey and Dalyn Wakely, both of whom enjoyed strong OHL campaigns. Akey, the Oilers’ top blueline prospect, returned to health and provided steady two-way play for the Barrie Colts. Now 20, he’s expected to transition to the pro level this season. Wakely has joined the NCAA rush, committing to UMass for the 2025-26 season.
Speaking of college, GM Stan Bowman has made a point of adding NCAA talent to the mix, zeroing in on two Boston University forwards: Quinn Hutson—brother of Lane and Cole—and Matt Copponi. Hutson joins and instantly slots in as our third-ranked prospect within the system and should find a home in Bakersfield in 2025-26.
Emil Venni, despite limited starts in 2024-25, remains a high-upside long-term option in the crease.
With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl still in their primes, Edmonton has no choice but to think in the now. For the Oilers, the goal remains clear: keep stacking talent around their stars in hopes of finally bringing Lord Stanley's cup back to Alberta’s capital.
The Matthew Savoie trade will be a fun one to look back on in a few years when all the dust has settled, especially given Buffalo's long history of giving up future breakout stars. His first full AHL season was very promising, adjusting quickly and producing at a high rate, hovering around 0.80 points per game. Savoie’s shot had a lot of success against AHL goalies, with goals coming from a variety of locations and releases, but his ability to knock loose pucks home with a quick release stood out the most. As a playmaker, he’s made some slick plays by using his shiftiness to open up passing lanes and hit teammates in the slot. It’s very possible Savoie could make the jump to the NHL soon, even if he’s not quite ready. The Oilers are always tight against the cap and looking for secondary scoring, so he could be a strong fit in their bottom six, should they give him an opportunity.
Edmonton’s newest prospect addition, Isaac Howard, joins the organization with a pedigree that should excite Oilers fans. The 2022 31st overall pick was acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning this offseason in exchange for fellow first rounder Sam O’Reilly. His game took off in 2024-25 as he jumped up to 52 points, a 16-point improvement on his previous best, en route to a Hobey Baker Award. Howard led the NCAA in points per game with Michigan State and even suited up for the United States at the World Championship in the spring. Howard plays with a ton of pace and is sneakily dangerous with his ability to identify and slip into soft spots in coverage and pounce on loose pucks. This skill set was huge in his emergence as a goal scorer last season, and will be invaluable in the Oilers lineup given the attention-grabbing weapons they already have offensively. It is not hard to imagine Howard being a fixture in Edmonton’s top six forward group and on the power play for years to come.
Quinn Hutson, older brother of Canadiens blueliner Lane and Capitals prospect Cole, was an undrafted free agent that signed an entry level contract with the Oilers this past spring. Hutson emerged as an offensive threat last season with Boston University, reaching the 50-point mark. Though not as elusive of a skater as his brothers, Quinn still is an above average skater and has a much better shot than either of them. His standout trait is his ability to find open ice, where he can either get dangerous shots off or find a nearby teammate with a short pass. Quinn will need to get stronger and focus on developing his defensive game before he will be able to stick as an NHL regular. Hutson may one day develop into a middle six scoring winger. For this season, it’s expected that he will be continuing his development in Bakersfield.
After missing the majority of last year with a shoulder injury, Akey returned to the Barrie lineup this season with fairly high expectations. The incredibly smooth skating defender ended up having an OK year, which can often be the case for players returning from serious shoulder injuries; it takes time to build up that confidence again. Unfortunately for Akey, he also lost his role as the lead offensive defender due to the emergence of Kashawn Aitcheson. However, he did make the Canadian World Junior team in a depth role, although the team did greatly underperform. The concern with Akey might be that the shoulder injury negatively impacted his development as an offensive facilitator. Does he profile as a defensive first player at the pro level? In order to be an NHL defender, he’s going to need to find that mojo again as a puck carrier, using his terrific skating ability to be a difference maker at both ends. He’ll turn pro next year and will probably need to be brought along slowly in Bakersfield.
Maxim Beryozkin has come a long way since being drafted by Edmonton in 2020, evolving into one of the KHL’s top two-way forwards. His high compete level stands out as he pressures opponents relentlessly and forces countless turnovers. Offensively, he’s gained confidence as a play driver, consistently creating chances with smart, patient passing. He protects the puck well using his size and smooth hands, showing a more polished, controlled game overall. While his pace might be a concern at the NHL level, he’s become a reliable, hard-working forward who could thrive in a bottom six/fourth-line role. With his KHL contract set to expire this season, a move to Edmonton could come soon. He will likely need some time in the AHL, but his work ethic and development give him a real chance at an NHL future.
Coming into the 2024-25 season, no one would have had Jonsson touted as a guy to look out for. But after a great campaign in the Allsvenskan, seemingly out of nowhere, Jonsson should now find himself in a tandem role with Bakersfield. Jonsson is a big, technical goalie, who has some athletic ability but typically opts for a reserved playstyle. He frames a great stance, keeping it very stable, he uses calm precise shuffles with smart routes through the crease, and has shown to have a very quick glove. He also tracks play pretty well too, and has good attention to detail in his movement, moving as a full connected unit. But he does struggle to set his feet for a shot with quick change of direction and has a tendency to open up the five hole if making a butterfly slide/adjustment. Given the goalie situation in Edmonton and no true third string goalie as of yet, Jonsson could find himself in an Oilers uniform relatively soon if he adjusts to the AHL well and potentially end up as a backup.
Roby’s time in North America has not been smooth sailing by any means. He missed much of the 2023-24 season with a lingering knee injury and then played just two games in the 2024-25 season with his new team following his departure from the Senators organization. It was announced he’d miss the rest of the year due to more knee issues. After it looked like he would return to his home country, Edmonton re-signed Roby on a one-year deal, giving him a last chance in North America to have a healthy, productive season. Roby reads the play well and has the skill to be effective in transition. He was regularly winning pucks on the forecheck and picked up a pair of assists in his season debut. He also chipped in defensively, picking off passes and turning the play back up ice. It will be interesting to see Roby fight for a spot with the Oilers in potentially his last opportunity. It all hinges on his lower-body issues.
When a player gets to be part of a roster that features generational talents, like the Edmonton Oilers currently have with both Connor McDavid and Leaon Draisaitl, sometimes the most important thing to learn is how to support those superstars and make their jobs easier. For Lafrenière, if he ever reaches that point in his career his coaches probably won’t have to teach him much, because he already is that kind of player. It’s impossible to not like and respect what he brings, because he’s just so focused and determined and fearless, and he brings that mentality every single shift. The Blazers were a WHL bottom-feeder for all of 2024-25, yet that didn’t stop him from playing like every game was a big one, and with that mentality he just kept taking on more and more responsibility on his team, offensively and defensively. Lafrenière will never be the best player on an NHL team — or probably even an WHL or AHL team — but he should be a great glue guy to keep around in an organization.
Nicholl was, hands down, one of the most improved players in the OHL this past year. In true London Knights fashion, the Edmonton seventh rounder went from being a fourth line afterthought to a top six difference maker in a matter of a year. The Oilers have to be ecstatic about his progress. On a lot of nights last season, Nicholl was the most impressive forward for the Knights and that includes top picks like Easton Cowan, Kasper Halttunen, and former Oiler Sam O’Reilly. Nicholl’s game is all about using his speed to be effective. He loves to push pace, and he has the work rate to match that pace; which has endeared him to Dale Hunter. He flashes significant offensive upside thanks to improving hands and we’ll get a much better read of said upside next year when he becomes a go-to offensive player for London. At this point, it looks like the Oilers have found a nice little gem late in the draft last year.
Paul Fischer had a great season as a sophomore at Notre Dame, developing as a two-way defenceman with a strong defensive presence and moderate offensive awareness. His physical play is a standout trait, as he actively engages in puck battles and clears the net front effectively. Under pressure, he demonstrates solid puck movement, though he struggles at times with routine passes. His positioning and defensive awareness started off shaky but improved as the games progressed, highlighting his adaptability. Skating remains average, and decision making is an area for further growth, requiring patience in his development. Fischer has been deployed on the second unit for special teams, showcasing his ability to contribute in various situations. Looking ahead, Fischer’s ability to refine his passing consistency and decision-making will be crucial in maximizing his two-way potential. With continued development, he has the tools to become a reliable, second or third-line pairing defenceman who can contribute on both ends of the ice.
We’ve seen several versions of Lewandowski to date and at his best, it can be a glorious thing to watch. And when not, then take cover. Inconsistency has haunted him every step of the way but his jump to the WHL last season after seven scoreless DEL contests was a very good sign of what he has in the tank. We found out he’s more physical than we previously knew but there are skating issues here for Edmonton to clean up. Sidenote: He’s a fan of countryman Draisaitl!
Vinni’s draft year was terribly exciting due to his starting role for a Mestis team with whom he was able to put up big numbers. However, the aftermath of back surgery in the summer of 2024 pretty much led to his 2024-25 season getting washed out. Ultimately, he only started 8 pro contests this past season and his last game was at the end of December. Now it’s all about seeing if and when the rather well-schooled goalie will play again.
With two straight seasons of basically identical lower line AHL stats, Petrov’s stellar 93-point regular season and 22-point playoff run in the OHL during the 2022-23 season feels like a very long time ago. As an AHLer, Petrov hasn’t been able to escape a bottom four role, having at least emerged as a penalty killing option. Time for him to show more wherewithal with the puck, better usage of time and space, and a lot more shots. Chases the game too much.
A 2021 Buffalo Sabres draft pick, Marjala unexpectedly went unsigned this past summer, and Edmonton swiftly moved in to give him an ELC. After two decent but not overwhelming seasons in the QMJHL, Marjala has spent the past three seasons in Finland crafting himself into a verified offensive force in Liiga play, finishing this past season fifth overall in assists and 14th overall in scoring. The AHL beckons and we’re certainly excited about his unpredictable puck play.
Drafted as a big, rugged winger always willing to throw his weight around, Clattenburg not only spent this past season as the captain of his Firebirds team but became a player coaches across the OHL respected for his extremely hard work and defensive play. Throw in his career high offensive production and the fact that Edmonton has already inked him to an ELC, and it’s evident that the organization believes in his possibilities as a future fourth line NHLer.

Another NHL Combine has come and gone in Buffalo, NY this past week. For the 106 invited players, it was a week full of 1-on-1 interviews with NHL teams, interviews with the media, and a variety of fitness tests. The fitness testing results mean more to some NHL executives than they do to others, but nonetheless it is always fascinating to see who finished atop the leaderboards in the fitness testing categories. The Combine is also the final opportunity for players to submit their height and weight, which is always an intriguing progression to monitor. The NHL Combine is the perfect precursor to the NHL Draft. It is some of these player’s first times meeting their competitors on the draft board, and it allows for these players to meet their future management of the team that drafts them in Nashville in just a few weeks.
Nick Lardis of the Hamilton Bulldogs placed 1st in four categories: Vertical Jump, Squat Jump, No Arm Jump, & Pull Ups (15). This standout performance puts more eyes on the late riser, who arrived in Hamilton and tore it up through the second half of the season putting up 46 points in 33 games. Lardis has skyrocketed on many draft boards, including McKeen’s, as he finished 32nd overall and snuck his way into the tail end of the first round. He is a player that has certainly benefited from being the “go-to” player on the Bulldogs, and his success will hopefully lead into next season as the team moves to Brantford.
Another player from the OHL, Brad Gardiner also performed exceptionally well in the fitness tests. The two-way centre from the Ottawa 67’s finished in the top 10 in five of the categories completed on the weekend of the Combine, as well as in the Grip Strength test completed earlier in the week. Gardiner likely drew some more attention with this performance, as he was one of the later ranked players out of the 106 at the Combine (McKeen’s has Brad Gardiner ranked at 163rd).
Leading the results in the consensus “most difficult” category, the VO2 MAX, was Seattle Thunderbirds forward Nico Myatovic. In their media availability, nearly every player stated that the VO2 MAX was the hardest fitness test of them all. The VO2 MAX is a gruelling test of oxygen utilized during maximum effort. By winning in this category, Myatovic has likely gained some respect points from teams and players.
The tallest player at the Combine measured up at 6 '6.75”, and that was Czech goaltender Michael Hrabal. Hrabal is one of the top ranked goaltenders heading into the NHL Draft, and he was one of seven goalies invited to the Combine. Hrabal’s size is definitely a draw for some teams, as we see NHL goaltenders getting taller and taller each year.

It’s that time! The McKeen’s scouting staff has finalized our final rankings for the 2023 NHL Draft ahead of the release of our draft guide in a few weeks. As per usual, our list runs 224 players deep to match the number of selections in the draft, but we have included over 300 players when you include our Honorable Mentions.
Much to the surprise of no one, Connor Bedard remains our top ranked player, as he has been all season long. In fact, our top three remains unchanged from our midseason rankings with Adam Fantilli and Leo Carlsson holding down the second and third spots, respectively. There has been one change in our top five with Will Smith leapfrogging Matvei Michkov into the fourth position following his dominant second half and U18’s.
Russian defender Dmitry Simashev remains our top ranked blueliner but has now moved into the top ten. His combination of size, mobility, physicality, and improving offensive skill set is going to be alluring to NHL teams and we feel that his upside is the highest in a weaker crop for defenders.
A trio of Swedish players are among our biggest risers from our midseason list, with Tom Willander, Anton Wahlberg, and David Edstrom all jumping up into the first round. All three were excellent in the second half of the season, which culminated with strong performances at the U18’s. Willander, in particular, has a huge fan in our Director of Scouting, Brock Otten. “If you were to ask me who my favourite defender in the draft class is, I’d probably say Willander. He rarely makes a poor play and I believe that we are underappreciating his potential as an NHL defender because of how efficient and safe his game can be. I would be shocked if he does not become a quality second pairing guy at the NHL level and I don’t think the other defenders ranked in the first have that same assurance,” said Otten.
Another massive jumper in our list is Hamilton Bulldogs winger Nick Lardis. 98th on our midseason list, Lardis now finds himself ranked just inside of our first round. His play with Hamilton, following a trade from Peterborough has vaulted him up draft boards, including ours. His combination of quickness and scoring ability gives him a solid projection at the NHL level.
Despite having two goaltenders inside of our first round at midseason (Carson Bjarnason and Michael Hrabal), we ended the year with none. Trey Augustine is now our top ranked netminder, ranked in the mid second round. However, Augustine, Bjarnason, Hrabal, and USHL Clark Cup MVP Jacob Fowler are all closely ranked in that range.
Look for the release of our 2023 Draft Guide in the next couple weeks. It will include all of our rankings and reports, a mock draft, a preview of the 2024 NHL Draft, and much more.
