** 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.

Michael Misa – What makes him so special is the completeness of his offensive game. He is an elite skater with explosive acceleration, exceptional puck skills, high-end vision, and a dangerous shot. Unlike many young offensive stars, Misa also competes hard away from the puck and has developed into a reliable two-way player. His ability to play both center and wing gives San Jose flexibility, although most scouts still believe his future is down the middle.

Sam Dickinson – The left-shot defenseman combines a rare blend of size, skating, and offensive ability that makes him a potential cornerstone blueliner. Dickinson’s mobility is outstanding for a player of his size, allowing him to transport the puck, join the rush, and recover defensively when plays break down.

Igor Chernyshov – Chernyshov combines size, skill, and offensive creativity in a very attractive package. He possesses soft hands, strong puck protection ability, and the vision to create scoring chances for both himself and his teammates. His offensive instincts stand out, particularly around the net and in tight spaces.

Joshua Ravensbergen – The towering netminder possesses the kind of size NHL teams covet while also showing surprisingly refined movement and athleticism. Ravensbergen covers a tremendous amount of net naturally and has demonstrated strong puck-tracking ability throughout his junior career. What has impressed scouts most is that he does not rely solely on his size; he moves efficiently, reads plays well, and has steadily improved his technical game.

Quentin Musty – Musty is difficult to handle when engaged because he combines a powerful frame with impressive puck skills and a heavy shot. He can create offense off the rush, work effectively along the boards, and score from multiple areas of the offensive zone. Earlier concerns about consistency and effort level have gradually diminished as he has matured and become more engaged shift-to-shift.
