** 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.
Trevor Connelly – Few prospects can create offense the way he can, whether through one-on-one moves, deceptive passing, or attacking defenders with speed. His vision allows him to make difficult plays at full pace, and he is capable of changing the outcome of a game with a single shift. The biggest questions throughout his development have centered on consistency and adding strength, but his pure talent is undeniable.
Jakob Ihs-Wozniak – He is particularly effective in transition, where his skating and vision allow him to create opportunities both for himself and his teammates. Ihs-Wozniak’s offensive game has become more complete over the last few seasons as he has added strength and improved his play away from the puck.
Carl Lindbom – Lindbom’s game is built around excellent positioning, calmness under pressure, and strong puck tracking. He rarely looks overwhelmed and consistently makes the saves he is expected to make. His athleticism is solid, but what truly stands out is his efficiency and composure.
Lukas Cormier – After dominating junior hockey and transitioning successfully to the professional level, Cormier has continued to showcase the skating and puck-moving abilities that made him such an intriguing prospect. He excels in transition, moves the puck efficiently, and can quarterback a power play effectively. His offensive instincts are NHL-caliber, and he consistently creates scoring opportunities from the blue line.
Matyas Sapovaliv – Sapovaliv’s greatest strength is his vision; he consistently identifies passing lanes and creates opportunities for teammates. He protects the puck well, uses his frame effectively, and has steadily improved his skating over the past several seasons. While he may not possess elite offensive upside, he does many things well and plays a mature game in all three zones.
