Bedard, Fantilli and Michkov lead a stacked draft class that’ll be remembered for its high-end talent.
A week from now, the biggest party of the NHL season will be in full swing at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Over two days, 224 players will have their dreams come true, as 32 teams look to bolster their futures with their next young talent.
You’ve heard it all year long: the 2023 NHL Draft is not your typical draft. For the first time in close to a decade, we have a true generational player in Connor Bedard. We have some other high-end talent in Adam Fantilli, Matvei Michkov and Leo Carlsson – all of whom could have challenged for the No. 1 spot in most other drafts.
If this crop will have any legacy, it’s the number of top-end players and future NHL all-stars that’ll be taken in the early portions of the draft. To get a true sense of this draft class, you must watch thousands of clips and in-person viewings to get a full sense of everything. And even then, scouts are still learning things about players all the time. That happens when you’re watching more than a thousand players in a season. Teams will be figuring out their draft boards until the very last second.
Alright, you’re here for rankings. Here’s a look at the top 150 prospects for the 2023 NHL Draft, with blurbs on the top 100:You already know everything you need to know about the NHL’s next superstar. After scoring 71 goals and 143 points in 57 regular season games, Bedard followed it up by scoring 10 goals and 20 points in just seven playoff games with Regina. The Pats fell in the end, marking the conclusion of one of the best junior careers we’ve ever seen.
