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. NHL readiness and experience Generally speaking, a player who is among the best team performers in the AHL usually is one of the first to receive an in-season promotion. Typically a losing franchiseinjects youth into the lineup for more than only a handful of games, but for whatever reason, the Oilers continued to ice a veteran roster even after the playoffs were a forgone conclusion.

Graduated: Miro Heiskanen (LHD), Roope Hintz (LW) Benning and staff also scooped up feisty forward Nils Hoglander from Swedenand speedy center Tyler Madden from Northeastern who tied for fourth in freshman scoring in Hockey East. The move proved critical, as it allowed the Jets to bolster the top of the prospect pool with Ville Heinola, the purest offenseman the franchise has ever drafted, and his dynamic skating ability and impressive shot power will compliment the skilled wingers with the parent club.

Traded/not signed: Chase Priskie (RHD, FA-CAR). So with all that in mind, I give you early look at the Consolidated Draft Rankings for the 2021 Entry Draft. The Ducks' profile is driven by the presence of one high-end talent in Trevor Zegras, who was picked ninth overall in 2019 andtopped B/R's recent listof the league's best prospects.

Goaltending also was part of the teams success this year and 2017 first-rounder Jake Oettinger appears to be the favorite to shadow Ben Bishop until the starting job is his. Some believechampionship rosters can be constructed through formulas and analytic innovation, while others lean towardthe old school method of eyeballing the kids who stand out and getting them to buy into a culture that focuses on exceeding expectations rather than simply meeting them. Key additions: Brett Leason (RW), Connor McMichael (C),Bobby Nardella (LHD, UDFA), Joe Snively (LW) Behind Petersen are Lukas Parik, David Hrenakand Matt Villalta who is alikely candidate to spend the upcoming seasonwith the AHLs Ontario Reign.

The Blackhawks' season was the hockey equivalent of a cold shower, as they missed the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. Slick center Rasmus Kupari was one of the top teenage point producers in the SM-Liiga, and second rounders Akil Thomas (2018) and Arthur Kaliyev (2019) were two of only nine 100-point scorers in the OHL last season. Still, the addition of two young stars in power forward Dylan Cozens and smooth puck rusher Ryan Johnson are acceptable consolation prizes for the aforementioned promotions of Rasmus Dahlin and Casey Mittelstadt, who spent all of last season in the NHL. Point production a prospects development can be measured in a variety of ways, but their production on the traditional or analytic scoresheet always represents the lowest-hanging fruit. Graduated: None In addition to Byfield, the team has five other A-rated prospects and 10 B-rated prospects, both coming in as high-water marks for our entire ranking.

Janne Kuokkanen, who arrived from Carolina for Sami Vatanen. On the bright side, the Oilers AHL farm team in Bakersfield had its best season since moving from Oklahoma City in 2015. They also moved their first pick of 2016 in the Martin Jones trade, and took a huge gamble this year by taking troubled two-way defender Ryan Merkley at 20th overall. Traded/not signed: Jarret Tyszka (LHD),Scott Walford (LHD). Graduated: None And if Demko doesn't pan out, Michael DiPietro is a solid goalie prospect. Furthermore, 2017 first-round selection Urho Vaakanainen appears to be developing nicely as a future top-four defenderand there are several speed merchants in the system such as Jakub Lauko, a third-rounder in 2018 who impressed at several training camps. With a great high end of the pool, the Rangers also boast pool depth with a number of players who should figure into their near future. Although they lost 2017 first-rounder Robert Thomas to graduation, St. Louis has every reason to be excited about speedster Jordan Kyrou, who notched 43 points in 47 games as an AHL rookie with San Antonio. 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. Both Bahl and Soderstrom could be top-pairing defenders for their respective nations at the world juniors. It looks like both will be off the opening-night roster for the fifth consecutive year.
