Felt odd doing it. Can't believe Zubek and Lisy aren't even really ranked anywhere.
THE HOCKEY PROSPECTING 2025 TOP 32 DRAFT RANKINGS!!!
Not as deep as some recent drafts but some really great looking pieces at the top end.

You bet. Just putting the finishing touches on it.
Michael Misa is the 4th to do so. Will Smith was the last to do so before him.
Explosive growth in production.
He should definitely go top 3 and will warrant it.
As a forward, going from an equivalency in the 20s in your pre-draft year to one over 50 in your draft year is extremely rare.
Has only happened 4 times in the last ~40 years.
I don't know what has happened to my boy but I don't like it
Cole Perfetti and Sam Reinhart are mirror images of each other in the model. Big game star Perfetti coming in a few years? Probably.
Tough to say. Both are trending really well!
Well that sort of naturally gets factored into the model. In short missing a huge amount of games due to injury is never a good thing. Especially in pivotal development years where you need to take big leaps.
Certainly curious to follow this one over the next few years.
Cole Hutson and Adam Jiricek... born on the same day, both the younger brothers of highly touted NHL prospects, taken nearly 30 picks apart.
One trending to be a star the other one trending to possibly miss the NHL.
People helping people!
But instead a smile on your face when you see me so close
Igor Chernyshov update...
Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.
He and Artamonov are looking like the steals of the 2024 draft.
(Your friends at HP (myself) had them both in the top 32 though)
Zayne Parekh should hit 30 goals again on the season. No dman has ever hit back to back 30 goal seasons in their DY and D+1 seasons coming from any league, even high school.
Nearly 5 yrs into the HP journey and it's still as much fun as the first day of the journey.
Never could have imagined there would be such interest in "prospect projection".
Thanks for subscribing. Thanks for following. Thanks for the good times.
The KHL is always a wild ride...
No. You get big time diminishing returns after 21, 22 yo seasons. At that point it's more or less a "prediction" of if the player will make it or not.
William Eklund was a player I and the model were high on at the draft. He had a slower development curve than I would have guessed after his draft season but he's starting to come on now. Currently enjoying his first star season in the NHL. Might be a stud yet.

Anton Silayev trending well in his D+1 season in the KHL thus far. That Devils D core is going to be a serious wagon.
Zayne Parekh started the season slow but he's cooking now! The Hockey Prospecting model loves his chances of turning into a future star offensive dman for the Flames.
Hockey Prospecting models have all been updated for 2022-2024 prospects as well as ~160 2025 potential draftees.

Artamonov!!!
It has been a while
Dustin Wolf, in his first taste of full-time NHL duty, is already putting together a star season this year for the Flames. This is good news. Flames might have their starter to guide them through the next decade.
Soon...
Getting to 200 games takes a while. Few from 2019 on have done it yet.
Size is factored in. When youre a super producer though it doesn't really matter. They're so rare anyways. Most hit regardless.
