** Different sites can use different criteria for determining who is still a prospect. Also, for Dobber Prospect lists they take a fantasy hockey approach – prospects whose current trajectory projects them making the most positive fantasy impact at the time that they reach the NHL.

Porter Martone – Martone is exactly the type of player Philadelphia fans traditionally gravitate toward: a big, highly skilled winger who combines offensive creativity with physicality and edge. Standing around 6-foot-3 and over 200 pounds, he dominates along the boards, protects the puck exceptionally well, and consistently creates offense in difficult areas of the ice. What separates him from many power forwards is his elite playmaking ability.

Jett Luchanko – Luchanko’s greatest strength is his skating, which is already NHL-caliber. He plays with incredible pace, constantly putting pressure on defenders and creating transition opportunities. Beyond his speed, his hockey sense and two-way commitment have continued to improve. Luchanko is becoming a more complete player, showing the ability to contribute offensively while also handling difficult defensive assignments.

Yegor Zavragin – Zavragin’s game is built around elite athleticism, quick reflexes, and exceptional puck tracking. He covers the net well, moves explosively laterally, and often makes difficult saves look routine. Despite his athletic gifts, he generally plays under control and rarely appears overwhelmed by pressure situations. Goalies are always difficult to project, but many scouts now view Zavragin as having legitimate NHL starter upside.

Oliver Bonk – Bonk may not possess the flashy offensive upside of some young defensemen, but he does almost everything well. He skates efficiently, moves the puck effectively, and consistently makes smart decisions under pressure. Defensively, his positioning and awareness are excellent, allowing him to neutralize opposing attacks before they become dangerous.

Jack Nesbitt – The large center possesses the type of size and physical tools NHL organizations covet, while also showing flashes of offensive upside. Nesbitt plays a heavy game, wins battles in the corners, and is difficult to move from the front of the net. What has boosted his stock is the continued development of his puck skills and offensive instincts.
