NHL Draft Rankings – ranking the prospects who haven’t been drafted yet.
Here we are. Many players have cleaned out their lockers and are preparing for a massive offseason of training. Some are still fighting it out in their league playoffs, and a handful more are beginning the U18 Worlds which will be the final opportunity to impress the scouts before the combine. This edition [...]
Jack Hughes and Cole Caufield I’ve bumped the rankings up to the top 100 for this edition. This is how I like to work. As the year goes on I have opportunities to see more players more often. When I have a nice sample size to draw on, I can add [...]
A fantasy ranking of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft Sure there are plenty of places to find NHL Draft rankings, Jokke Nevalainen has an excellent consolidated draft rankings post, but this is the only draft ranking for fantasy hockey poolies. As we all know, the draft rankings typically project what players will [...]
Bob McKenzie just released his highly anticipated mid-season draft ranking, and I also had the pleasure of getting an early look at Cam Robinson's upcoming ranking (it should be published soon!), so now is a perfect time to provide an update to our consolidated 2019 NHL Entry Draft rankings. Here's a link to our [...]
As we prepare for the World Junior Championships, I figured this would be a nice time to update the rankings.

A lot of independent scouts and scouting agencies have released updated rankings for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, so now is a good time to put all those rankings together and see how things shake up. All the rankings used for this are available for free. Here are the ones that were used: [...]
2019 NHL Draft Rankings – November 2018 We’re well into the scouting season and players are doing their usual shuffle up and down the draft boards. However, there remains a fine line in not placing too much stock in early results while still giving credit to developmental arcs. Many hesitate to [...]
The scouting season never really ends. It takes a little pause at the NHL Draft in late June every year. That extends until the World Junior Summer Showcase and Ivan Hlinka tournament kick off in early August. The five-week reprieve is just enough time to sift through the countless video clips, notes and reports [...]
The time has come! The skates have long been dried and hung up. The combine has finished, and the kids have sweated their way through dozens of interviews. We’re now just days away from the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. More so than any draft I’ve scouted (going back to 2013), this crop has [...]
