RHL Prospect Pool Rankings, 32-6

This week, Scott Wheeler of the Athletic released his rankings of the top 50 drafted skaters who meet the following criteria:

1. They are under 23 years old.
2. 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.
3. 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.
