5. Columbus Blue Jackets - 86.2 Overall Top 15 Prospects Individual Breakdown: We have arrived at the top five and the Columbus Blue Jackets occupy this spot.

7. Buffalo Sabres - 85.5 Overall Top 15 Prospects Individual Breakdown: The Sabres come in at number seven in our ranks and that is led by Zach Benson, who surprisingly stayed in the NHL all season after being just drafted in 2023. Don’t let his meager 35 point pace fool you, this kid has [...]
