In the this offseason, HockeyFeed as decided to present you with each team's top prospect for the next season or the near future. For obvious reasons, we will not discuss prospects like Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel.

  1. Anaheim Ducks, Nick Ritchie: Ritchie has been a consistent scorer throughout his OHL career and has almost one point per game. His size, 6-foot-2 227ponds, mixed with his scoring touch and silk-like hands are making him the next player in line to play with the dynamic duo of Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. He will likely know more success than Dustin Penner or Patrick Maroon with the two all-stars. Not big hitter, Nick Ritchie still knows how to make his presence felt, look for him to see both AHL and NHL action this season. Ritchie is also known as a good player when spring hockey rolls in town.
  2. Arizona Coyotes, Max Domi: Domi's offensive upsides are great. He has quick hands, good speed, a decent shot and impressive playmaking abilities. The only thing is that he wants to be the guy, he needs to utilize more his teammates. Time will tel if Domi could adapt his individualistic junior game to the more team-concept professional game. He showed with Team Canada Junior that he could produce steadily with lineman Anthony Duclair. Look for Domi to be in the Calder race if he plays the entire season in the NHL.
  3. Boston Bruins, Malcom Subban: Just like his brother, P.K, Malcolm his very athletic. Very impressive on breakaways, he his almost unbeatable on a one-on-one situation. Remarkable lateral movements, he has faced critics for his technique, lacking the sound and effective technique some other goaltender prospects have. Sub his knocking on the NHL door, but he will to rely more on technique than athleticism in order to be consistent in the NHL. He has star power written all-over him. In two to three years, top 10 NHL starter in the NHL.
  4. Buffalo Sabres, Sam Reinhart: Probably the best prospect in the list, Reinhart has all the offensive tools to be a consistent top 6 forward in the NHL. He has a quick release, soft hands but most importantly his decision making his close to flawless. He rarely turns the puck over and plays his position very well in his defensive zone. Reinhardt will be a star in the NHL for the next decade. Look for him to start the year with either Ryan O'Reilly or Jack Eichel. Will definitely be part of the Calder Trophy race.
  5. Calgary Flames, Sam Bennett: Bennett's talent is only matched up by his intensity. Highly skilled player that plays the game every shift at 100% is rare in today's NHL. Bennett has very good speed and an abode-average vision. His motors are always running at the highest of level. Only concern for him is his shoulder. After almost a year of rehabilitation, will it sustains Bennett's level of intensity?
  6. Carolina Hurricanes, Noah Hanifin: Hanifin is a really good skater. His offensive skills are great, but his defensive game is also pretty good. He won't have to change his game much in order to contribute quickly in Carolina. Captain material, Hannifin is exactly what the Hurricanes were lacking last year. Calder maybe? In the mix for sure, but not top 3 candidates.
  7. Chicago Blackhawks, Teuvo Teravainen: The next Patrick Kane. This is how highly talented is Teravainen. With a skill set comparable to Kane's, Teravainen has already shown that he could be a key contributor to the Blackhawks offence. His smarts are way above-average and his hands are pure gold. Once his body is fully built for the NHL, he will produce points like no other Chicago player. More than Kane or Toews, depending on the supporting cast. Teravainen's play is probably a reason why Saad got traded.
  8. Colorado Avalanche, Mikko Rantanen: Rantanen plays a typical Finnish style of hockey. Flashy some times, but mostly quiet, he racks up the points easily with his tremendous set of hands and his good vision. He lacks the physicality to be an effective power-forward in the NHL, but has all the tools to develop into a good, big playmaker. Look for Rantanen to become an assist machine. Joe Thornton, but from Finland.
  9. Columbus Blue Jackets, Sonny Milano: With decent size, Sonny Milano will be a consistent point getter in the NHL. His offensive upsides are good, but he needs to work really hard on his play away from the puck. Milano would probably benefit from a year or so in the American Hockey League, where he will need to work on his defensive game and add strength to his frame.
  10. Dallas Stars, Julius Honka: Honka played his first pro year as an 18 year old in the AHL. With the recall of John Klingberg, Honka saw his role increased and his game improved greatly from this situation. Although Honka lacks a bit of size, his puck moving skills and his positional play make for his size difference. He needs to built a bit of strength.
  11. Detroit Red Wings, Dylan Larkin: Larkin, who played for the Michigan Wolverines, is a super fast skater with great vision. He has the talent to pivot a first or second line in the NHL. HE will be ready sooner than later, because of his vision, Larkin has a complete two-way game. He will need to add to his 172 pound frame. If he can play alongside scoring machine Anthony Mantha, the Red Wings are ready to continue their post-season streak for a long time.
  12. Edmonton Oilers, Leon Draisaitl: Draisaitl played for the Oilers last year. Although the experience did not prove very conclusif, he proved that he add the tools to be a force in the NHL. His size, his offensive instincts and his accountability are what will make him a reliable player. This year will be his second shot at the NHL and bet on him to stick with the big club. Draisaitl should understand how to take his game to the pro level better and he knows now what it means to be a professional.
  13. Florida Panthers, Lawson Crouse:At 6'4, Crouse has a big body, but like any other big boy in the business, lacks the coordination to make him a great offensive weapon. Time and games will help him develop his skills, but the instincts are definitely there. He scores a bunch of goals, but he could produce more offensively overall. Patience is required in his case, but he will bring havoc to the rink once he will be ready. Crouse's game can be compared to Lindros' but with less grit. He could improve in that department.
