Top 9 for the Panthers

1. Noah Östlund (C, Buffalo Sabres) – A skilled playmaker, Östlund was selected 16th overall in the 2022 draft by Buffalo

2. Liam Öhgren (LW, Minnesota Wild) – A first-round pick at 19th overall in 2022, Öhgren is a goal-scoring winger with a sturdy 200-foot game. He made his NHL debut in 2024 and even notched a goal during a brief call-up

3.Ryan Greene (C, Chicago Blackhawks) – A smart two-way center, Greene was taken 57th overall in 2022 and has developed impressively in the NCAA. He just signed his entry-level contract after leading Boston University to the national title game with 13 goals and 38 points in 40 games as a junior

4.Leevi Meriläinen (G, Ottawa Senators) – Meriläinen is a 22-year-old Finnish goaltender who had a breakout 2024-25 season. Drafted 71st overall in 2020, he debuted in the NHL this past year and impressed with an 8–3–1 record, 1.99 GAA, and .925 save percentage over 12 games

5.Peyton Kettles (D, Pittsburgh Penguins) – A towering 6’5” shutdown defenseman, Kettles was selected 39th overall in the 2025 draft

6.Daniil (Danil) Prokhorov (RW, NY Islanders) – The Islanders nabbed Prokhorov 42nd overall in 2025, getting a player many expected to go in Round 1

7.Hunter Haight (C, Minnesota Wild) – Haight is a crafty center drafted in the 2nd round (47th overall) in 2022

8.Ivan Ryabkin (C, Carolina Hurricanes) – A high-upside pick by Carolina in 2025 (late 2nd round), Ryabkin was once projected as a potential first-round talent

9.Alexei Medvedev (G, Vancouver Canucks) – Medvedev is a Russian goalie who was the 47th overall pick in 2025, notable for being one of the youngest players in his draft class (he was only five days shy of 2026 eligibility)

10. Jakob Ihs-Wozniak (C, Vegas Golden Knights) - Ihs-Wozniak is an 18-year-old Australian-Swedish hockey player currently developing in Sweden’s top league. Ihs-Wozniak’s NHL potential can be viewed as something of a high-reward gamble. If he reaches his ceiling, he could become a valuable top-six power forward – the kind of big-bodied scoring winger who can play on a scoring line and contribute on the power play.
