** 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.

Justin Carbonneau – During his QMJHL career, he established himself as one of the most dangerous finishers in junior hockey, capable of beating goaltenders from distance or around the net. What makes him particularly intriguing is that he combines natural scoring ability with a strong physical frame and a willingness to compete in difficult areas of the ice. His skating has improved steadily, and scouts have become more comfortable with his overall pace and engagement away from the puck.

Adam Jiříček – Jiříček possesses excellent size, mobility, and puck-moving ability, making him a modern two-way defenseman with the tools to impact all areas of the game. He moves well for a player his size, makes intelligent breakout passes, and has shown flashes of offensive creativity. Defensively, his reach, positioning, and physical tools allow him to shut down plays effectively.

Otto Stenberg – Stenberg is an intelligent player who excels through anticipation, puck support, and strong decision-making. Offensively, he possesses a quick release, good vision, and the ability to create chances in tight spaces. While he may not possess elite physical tools compared to some of the NHL’s top prospects, his hockey sense consistently allows him to remain effective.

Logan Mailloux – Acquired from Montreal, Mailloux has continued to showcase the combination of size, strength, skating, and offensive ability that made him such a highly regarded prospect. His shot from the point is a major weapon, and he consistently creates offense through aggressive puck movement and joining the rush.

Theo Lindstein – Theo Lindstein may be one of the most underrated prospects in the St. Louis system. The Swedish defenseman does not receive as much attention as some of the organization’s flashier prospects, but his game projects extremely well to the NHL. Lindstein is a smooth skater with excellent defensive awareness and strong puck-moving ability. He consistently makes smart decisions under pressure and rarely forces plays that are not available.
