A ranking of the top 100 nhl prospects has been released, with some outlets noting the inclusion of certain players and others reporting the omission of specific individuals. The rankings appear to vary, with different outlets focusing on different aspects, such as the top prospects not yet in the nhl or the deepest prospect pools by team. The rankings are intended to predict the top players for the 2025-26 season, but the exact composition of the lists is not uniform across outlets.
