I base these rankings on many live viewings and comprehensive video scouting. I’ve seen every player who played in Finland this season live (except for the top-ranked player), a big chunk of them many times. I value hockey IQ, skill and skating the most, in that order. The reasoning behind being that hockey sense [...]

If you want a complete ranking including all nationalities, here’s the latest from our managing editor Cam Robinson: Cam Robinson’s 2019 [...]
Prospect Mailbag – May 25th, 2019 There are a few less questions than usual for the holiday edition of the mailbag. However, here comes the fire anyway. Question: “What are your thoughts on Dustin Wolf? Is his talent more from his WHL numbers or is there something that is being missed on?” [...]
