2022 top prospects power rankings

Ranking prospects across any professional sports league can be extremely difficult, but especially in the NHL. There is tons of talent, and trying to separate each youngster is a task on its own. After reading through a list made by The Athletic's Scott Wheeler, I was inspired to make a list of my own. Of course, any of these players could be the next superstar or bust as well, here is how they all panned out.

1. Shane Wright – C (SEA)
