Back on July 8th, we released our 2021 NHL Draft Black Book which included a very look at the 2022 NHL Draft in the form of player profiles and early list of our top 32 prospects. This list is always challenging but given the pandemic, this early list became an even more challenging task. With that said, we did include the early ranking and today we are making it available on our website.
