Top 25 Prospects

Brian McCann These rankings are for the top prospects in the game, heading into the 2011-12 season. This list also does not take rookie goalies into consideration. Players listed here must follow the rookie NHL rule of having played under 25 games in a season to qualify for the Calder.

There is no formula in how these rankings were developed, only a general consensus of what FHW thinks are the top prospects that could make an impact in the NHL based on their upside. Factoring in 2011-12 stats as the season progresses will also be a part of the rankings once October passes.
