Macklin Celebrini won the Hobey Baker Award as college hockey’s MVP to further cement himself as the No. 1 prospect for this year’s NHL Draft.
Ivan Demidov is looking like a dynamite consolation prize, lighting up the MHL playoffs at a record pace to pull away from the pack as my No. 2.
The rest of the first round remains in flux heading into the Under-18 worlds starting next week in Finland!
I’m still high on Cole Eiserman as the best goal-scorer in this class despite his stock trending down for most. He’s in the next tier with the Big 3 on D for me.
Then my 7-16 tier is very intriguing, especially when it comes to the order their names will be called on draft day. But they should all be locks for the first round!
All bets are off after that, with my 17-49 tier contending for the first round. That’s a big group obviously, but that is where I expect the NHL lists to start varying quite drastically.
Likewise, with my 50-100 tier of second-round candidates, there isn’t a lot of separation in terms of talent or upside, so beauty will be in the eye of the pick holder again!
Beyond that, my tiers of 101-169 and 170-224 are projected to be mid- or late-round picks with plenty of overagers and goaltenders of interest. Some are dark-horses to be drafted, including a few personal favourites that were passed over in previous years but have continued to develop!
Your feedback is welcomed, as always! Enjoy the U18 tourney and I'll be back with my final rankings following the combine!
