HFNHL Coyotes - Top 20 Prospects - Winter 2020 Edition

[CoyotesHFNHL]

Not going to be as detailed as previously, but here's an updated list of the Arizona Coyotes Top 20 prospects.

Not often does the second first round pick in a draft take the top spot but Connor McMichael's performance the past six months has elevated himself to the team's top prospect. Nikolai Kovalenko is the big mover on the list, he has heated up this season and is the leading scorer among U21 players in the KHL. A risk to come over, but if he does he'll add to an already loaded Colorado Avalanche forward group in the NHL.

#1 - C - Connor McMichael (London-OHL) WJC-Canada
#2 - RW - Dominik Bokk (Rogle BK-SHL) WJC-Germany
#3 - C - Alex Newhook (Boston College-NCAA)
#4 - C - Akil Thomas (Peterborough-OHL) WJC-Canada
#5 - LD - Jared McIssac (Moncton-QMJHL) WJC-Canada
#6 - LW - Isaac Ratcliffe (Lehigh Valley-AHL)

Interesting collection of players. I'd probably have Elvenes even higher, considering how well he's transitioned to the AHL. There's some risk there but the upside is real.
