It’s that time of year again. My copy arrived this afternoon.
Historically, each teams top 10 prospect list would be chosen by an actual member of management..but I have no idea if that’s actually still the case this year. Brian Costello at THN confirmed this to me last year.
The “Top 100” list is created after a panel of NHL scouts and execs are polled about the top prospects in the game and what they are projected to be 5 and 10 years down the road.
Typically, if a player is considered an NHL regular at the time of publication, they aren’t eligible for Future Watch.
I can’t post the full list due to copyright and site rules, but I can post the top 15 for discussion purposes..
1. Matvei Michkov
2. Cutter Gauthier
3. Will Smith
4. Simon Edvinsson
5. Brandt Clarke
6. Juri Kulich
7. Jimmy Snuggerud
8. Yaroslav Askarov
9. Ryan Leonard
10. Dalibor Dvorsky
11. Jonathan Lekkerimaki
12. Gabe Perreault
13. David Reinbacher
14. Shane Wright
15. Axel Sandin-Pellikka
The Habs list for 2024:
1. David Reinbacher (13)
2. Lane Hutson (49)
3. Owen Beck (60)
4. Joshua Roy (83)
5. Filip Mesar (89)

Our boy Lane is still being doubted..Not a chance in hell are there 48 prospects in hockey better than him.
