RHL Prospect Pool Rankings, 32-6
2023-02-16This week, Scott Wheeler of the Athletic released his rankings of the top 50 drafted skaters who meet the following criteria:
- They are under 23 years old.
- They are not a full-time NHL player. There is no pre-determined games played cutoff for this, but rather depends on Wheeler’s judgement whether the player will stick.
- They are either signed to an NHL contract or an NHL team holds their draft rights.
Based on those rankings, here is a look at the top prospect pools in the RHL. Note also that these rankings are based only on the 50 skaters ranked, and do not include goaltender prospects.
