One word, as Peter Loubardias would say, "look out".
Talked with CP's outstanding residential NHL draft specialist Sandman and I've put together his awesome prospect profiles (so far) on our website - Upside Hockey.
Have them in the order of our most recent lottery edition rankings.

With Flames offseason so boring ; ) deciding to fire up a thread dedicated to the super intriguing 2023 Draft, even if the Flames are obviously & not surprisingly headed into rebuild mode.
The top 4 promise to be sensational with plenty of talent beyond that. But there is much hockey yet to be played...but never too early to look at the next wave of talent striving to make it to the big league.

JUST RELEASED at Upside Hockey as our chief scout E-Mac never rests! 2023 NHL Draft Early Rankings Summer Edition: Top 96
*Note:
Prospects for Round 3 (65th-96th) are in alphabetical order at this point. Of course, they'll be appropriately ranked in subsequent instalments of our rankings.
*Looks like our pals at Future Considerations just have the top 2 ranked, but much will be in store from them coming up undoubtedly - 2023 link, for reference: https://nhlentrydraft.com/rankings/?...ue=&last_name=
(I may try and update this post on a regular basis as resources & rankings emerge throughout the season)
What's up with Slovakia producing great prospects again lately? I have always had a soft spot for Slovaks. It's a small country and not quite as affluent as other hockey countries, but they love the game.
This will be the second draft in a row where they are providing projected top 5 picks.
