Roadrunner Jordan Kyrou, a second-round pick in 2016, won the OHL's MVPaward, and AHL goalie Ville Husso was outstanding this season and is NHL-ready. Much like Calgary, however, the Sharks were rewarded with fantastic post-draft seasons from several later-round picks, such as winger Ivan Chekhovich (third in QMJHL scoring), Joachim Blichfeld(WHL scoring champion and Player of the Year) and Sasha Chmelevski (second in OHL playoff scoring). On paper, the Stars look pretty healthy when it comes to prospect depth.

Kyrou earned a 16-game promotion to the Blues earlylast season, which was not the case for fellow winger Klim Kostin, whose second year in the minors was inconsistent but still finished seventh in scoring (24 points in 66 games). Down the middle, the Jets could use an infusion of top-end talent, although Finlands Santeri Virtanen and Swedens David Gustafsson, a pair of mature European two-way pivots, need to continue upwards in their development. A handful of others fill the depth chart up front too, which means defense is probably a 2020 priority. The appeal of upgrading a roster at the trade deadline is such that even the most inflexible of GMs can eventually cave to pressure. Simply put, the Stars seem to have several first-round picks who either struggle to produce or are no longer with the organization or both. Still, you can make a strong argument that Finnish stud Miro Heiskanen was the more dominant teenage European defender over Rasmus Dahlin, as Heiskanen won the SM-Liiga Defenseman of the Year award. Of all their prospects, Zegras has the highest star potential and should be groomed to take over for aging captain Ryan Getzlaf. Defenseman Josh Brook is a capable puck-mover who plays well under duress, and he scored 89 points in 59 games in his final junior season before spending 2019-20 in the AHL. The Avalanche already owntwo premier young defensemen in Conor Timmins and Cale Makar, but the crown jewel of Sakic's prized assets is Ottawa's unprotected 2019 first-round pick, which may end up being the first overall pick.

The law of averages says respectability is the worst-case scenario for a team that has accumulated as many blue-chip prospects as Ottawa has. The re-tool in Los Angeles has been pretty deliberate, but the Kings all of a sudden own a couple of quality pieces that form a sturdy foundation for the future. The downside is that controversial 2015 first rounders Jakub Zboril and Zach Senyshyn havent come close to validating Sweeneys decision to draft them ahead of an all-star games worth of future NHL stars. There's no rest for the weary, as teams that already hate playing against the talent-heavy Panthers have to face the reality that the Cats have even more skill on the way, mostly in the form of forwards. Nonetheless, GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has done a great job building a powerhouse through mostly the draft, but he's going to have to mine the later rounds for more talent as his team competes for a title. Center Henrik Borgstrom leads Florida's crew of playmaking neophytes, and speedy winger Owen Tippett is good enough to make the club out of camp for the second year in a row. On top of adding a new No. In goal, it looks like Jaroslav Halak will return as Tuukka Rasks backup, but if the performance of undrafted netminder Kyle Keyserwith Oshawa during the OHL playoffs is any indication, a long look in the AHL and a late-season promotion sound reasonable. Jets fans probably aren't used to seeing their prospect pool ranked so low. The decision to take Dach over defenseman Bowen Byram was a bit of a surprise, but not as much as the post-draft trade of 2017 first-rounder Henri Jokiharju to Buffalo for finesse winger Alex Nylander, a former first-round selection himself. Netminder Ilya Samsonov is in the mix here in North America after a stellar career in Russia, and the Caps are loaded with mobile defenders, including 2018 first-rounder Alexander Alexeyev and puck distributor Lucas Johansen. Graduated: Rasmus Dahlin (LHD), Casey Mittelstadt (C) But not having the assets to trade for or draft players remotely capable of being considered heir apparents for Sidney Crosby and Evgeny Malkin paints an ominous picture for their fans. 1 since Ryan Miller, who they traded nearly a decade ago. Few teams do a better job at plugging holes from within than the Ducks who took advantage of the lost season by playing over a dozen youngsters age 23 and younger, including heralded rookie Troy Terry (32 games).

Traded/not signed: Brendan De Jong (LHD),Adam Fox (RHD, NYR), Nicolas Roy (C/RW, VGK), Aleksi Saarela (C/W,CHI), Valentin Zykov (LW, waived).

So with all that in mind, I give you early look at the Consolidated Draft Rankings for the 2021 Entry Draft. Trades and the draft have dramatically altered which organizations are most (and least) stacked with prospects. GM Kyle Dubas sure likes his speed and skill, which is obvious in the manner Toronto hasdrafted since hejoinedthe organization as an assistant general manager in 2014. Of course, the bulk of the heavy lifting is being done by excitable forwards Cody Glass and Nick Suzuki, and puck mover Erik Brannstromthe trio of 2017 first rounders that McPhee wouldn't part with at the last trade deadline. Trading Trouba and letting Tyler Myers and Ben Chiarot sign elsewhere opens the door for the likes of Niku, Heinola, Stanleyand hard-hitting Dylan Samberg to possibly secure a coveted role on the Stanley Cup contender. And if you see a familiar name missing from this list, it most certainly is Swedish defenseman Filip Johansson Minnesotas first-round pick in 2018 who many believe was drafted a good round or two higher than expected and showed stagnation in his development overseas. McMichael can finish as well as he can pass the puck and Leason was the WHLs most complete player in leading Prince Albert to the Memorial Cup. Down the road, watch for wingerDominik Bokk. Ty Dellandrea, has top-line center potential, and goalie Jake Oettinger is also rising. The gamble of surrendering a first-round pick and talented forwards Vitalii Abramov and Jonathan Davidsson to Ottawa in the Matt Duchene trade paid off in the short term, as the Jackets marched towards what became the deepest playoff run in franchise history. NYR | OTT | PHI | PIT | SJ | STL Steve Kournianos is the founder of TheDraftAnalyst.com, a blog dedicated to the NHL Draft. Traded/not signed:Pierre-Olivier Joseph (LHD, PIT),Dylan Strome (C, CHI).

Poehling may already have a leg up on Suzuki thanks to his hat trick in his NHL debut. Draft rankings intend to predict NHL success, not the actual order on draft day. No team has stockpiled prospects in as great a number as the Kings. By doing so, they acquired more blue-chip assets in four months than they did in the previous 10 years combined. A forgettable season doesn't appear to be over anytime soon, as several remaining uncertainties require closure, specifically the one surrounding Erik Karlsson's future. Now that the dust has settled, the state of Kekalainens prospect pool isnt as depleted as one would think, albeit a tad top-heavier than a year ago. The forward ranks, however, are critically thin, partly because of the traditional practice of loading up the AHL squad with older veterans. He's a centerpiece along with defenseman Moritz Seider, who was picked sixth overall in 2019 and spent 49 games in the AHL, posting 22 points. 1 pick in the 2020 draft supercharged a prospect pool that was dealing with some high-profile prospect graduations, including Kaapo Kakko and Adam Fox. An underwhelming draft summed up by the puzzling selection of Swedish scoring winger Simon Holmstrom in the first round,should not detract from the overall quality of the Islanders farm system. Eeli Tolvanen, who was picked 30th overall in 2017. When is the right time to admit GM Joe Sakic knows what he's doing? Traded/not signed: Zachary Lauzon (LHD). Greer (LW) To his credit, the competitive nature of the demanding market he works in hasnt forced him to rush prospects, which may explain why the Leafs AHL affiliate has been so successful in both the standings and developing NHL-ready talent. Can the Lions fix their defense? Although the bulk of Carolinas prized prospects were drafted and developed under former GM Ron Francis, current GM Don Waddell has continued the trend by not only making the right picks but trading away excess at peak value. But Vegas under GM George McPhee have done well in filling gaps with quality prospects. Key additions: Nolan Foote (LW) Nils Lundkvist were drafted 22nd and 28th, respectively, in 2018 and are highly regarded offensive talents from the back end. The Jets appear deep on the blue line and more sparse when it comes to prospects at forward, though the ones who are there appear promising. 26 Feb Feb The top four scoring defensemen on theirAHL affiliate in Chicago that eventually went to the Calder Cup Final Erik Brannstrom, Nicolas Hague, Dylan Coghlanand Zach Whitecloud all are under 22-years-old. All four can run a power play, and the law of averages says at least one of these kids will be worthy enough to one day replace Duncan Keith. These kids are trending in the right direction and have shortened their path to the NHL, which also shouldnt be a problem for skilled 2019 first-rounder Jakob Pelletier, who classifies as one of the toughest competitors at any level and can get to the show on his work ethic alone. Graduated: Luke Kunin (C/W), Jordan Greenway (C/W) Their organizational depth chart below the NHL level is thin on elite prospects, with controversial playmaker Ryan Merkley the obvious choice to earmark as their lone potential star. For all intents and purposes, those two alone are keeping the farm system afloat, although productive AHL campaigns from defenseman Brennan Menell and playmaking center Mason Shaw add additional support to the foundation. This low grade is more for a lack of depth, which should change shortly thanks to all the picks the Golden Knights own in next year's draft. The immediate graduations of Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt may have hurt the Devils' overall ranking, but defenseman Ty Smith has the potential to be their first franchise defender since Scott Niedermayer. 15 overall pick (2019). Center Gabe Vilardi shook off an early-season injury to become the OHL's best player in the second half, and Finnish pivot Rasmus Kupari has Vilardi's creativity while owning excellent speed and agility.
