for this list we’re only including
athletes age 22 and under who are
currently making a name for themselves
in the NHL number 10
Zach werenski Zach werenski has wasted
little time establishing himself as a
top 4 demon in the NHL during his rookie
season with the Columbus Blue Jackets he
put up 11 goals and 36 assists in 78
games and finished third and Calder
Memorial Trophy voting an award handed
out annually to the league’s top rookie
his 47 total points that year set a
record for the most by rookie in
franchise history and his 21 power play
points put him in the top ten for
defenseman while his stats regressed a
bit during his sophomore season where
rensky was no less effective leading the
Blue Jackets to a playoff berth once
again number 9 rock Besser there’s hope
for the Vancouver Canucks in the form of
Brock Besser his sharp shooting right
winger who dazzled fans during the
2017-2018 season an all world talent
with a nose for the net and an innate
ability to finish plays Messer was a
beast in his rookie season scoring 29
goals in just 62 games he was voted to
the all-star game and skated away with
the game’s Most Valuable Player Award
the last rookie to do that was Mario
Lemieux maybe you’ve heard of him
Besser will look to fill the void left
by the siddhim twins in the coming years
and so far all signs point to him being
up to the challenge number 8 McHale
circa czev a 6-foot 3 215 pound
defenseman who isn’t afraid to go into
the corners and has a knack for finding
the back of the net yeah you could say
McHale circuit chef is the whole package
delt from the Canadiens to the Lightning
prior to the 2017 2018 season circuit
chef played in 79 games for his new
squad finishing with 9 goals and 31
assists a rare combination of size and
skill circa chap figures to be the
Thunder to Victor headman’s lightning
and will no doubt be a key cog in Tampa
Bay’s quest for the Stanley Cup in the
years to come
number seven David Pasternak in his
fourth season with the Boston Bruins
David Pasternak finally managed to play
all 82 games and the result was nothing
short of brilliant the check sniper
found the back of the net 35 times
finishing with a whopping 80 points
during the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs he
became the youngest player to ever score
six points in a postseason game the
previous record holder Dwayne Gretzky a
200-foot player with the speed and skill
to take over a game the 22-year old
pasta nock figures to be a thorn and
other team sides for the foreseeable
future number six
Mitch Marner along with Austin Matthews
William Neal and ER and Morgan Riley
Mitch Marner is a part of a new wave of
Leafs players who look poised to bring
the Stanley Cup back to Toronto
something that hasn’t been done since
1967 in just his second season with the
squad Marner led the Maple Leafs in
assists and set career highs in a slew
of other categories in a very short
period of time the 21 year old has
proven he has the vision and skill to
compete with the NHL’s best considering
the Leafs added John Tavares this
offseason marner will now have multiple
high end players to dish the puck to all
season long number five Mathieu barzell
with Tavares gone the New York Islanders
have a hole to fill down the middle on
their first line enter Mathieu barzell
during his 2017 2018 rookie campaign he
lit the lamp 22 times and finished the
season with 85 points while it’s not
unheard of for a twenty-year-old to
finish in the top 15 in league scoring
it still doesn’t happen every year
barzell is a unique talent the kind of
player you’d want if you were building a
franchise from scratch with the size
speed and skill to be a true game
breaker he’ll be doing just that
throughout the next decade if his rookie
season is anything to go by
number four Jack Eichel even if they
missed out on McDavid the Sabres got
quite the consolation prize selecting
Jack Eichel with the second pick at the
2015 NHL draft
ichael has been a pillar of consistency
as part of a Sabres offense that’s
anything but putting
at least 24 goals and 56 points in each
of his first three seasons despite
missing 37 games before the 2017-2018
season the Sabres signed ichael to an 8
year contract extension worth 80 million
dollars and he rewarded them by posting
career highs in goals and assists this
also led to him being named to his first
all-star game it’s only a matter of time
before ichael leads the Sabres on a deep
playoff run number three
Patrick lining in two seasons with the
Winnipeg Jets finish winger Patrick lino
has been a force to be reckoned with
since the team drafted him second
overall in 2016
he’s amassed an eye-popping 80 goals and
134 points and in 2018 helped lead the
Jets to their first conference finals
since returning to Winnipeg seven years
prior a dynamic forward with a shot that
gives opposing goal tenders and
nightmares line a is a true goal scoring
threat every time he hits the ice at
just 20 years of age line a already
looks like a future hall-of-famer
if Winnipeg can keep its high-scoring
nucleus together they’ll be a cup
contender for years to come number two
Austin Matthews Austin Matthews took the
NHL by storm in 2016 in only his first
game the Arizona native netted four
goals yes you heard that correctly since
then it’s been more of the same for the
Toronto Maple Leafs franchise center he
finished his rookie campaign with 40
goals and 69 points beating out Patrick
line a for the Calder Trophy the
following season he missed 20 games and
still managed to score 34 goals Matthews
is the real deal a pure goal scorer who
can make plays at both ends of the ice
with the addition of John Tavares the
Leafs now boast one of the league’s most
lethal one-two punches before we unveil
our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions

number one Connor McDavid we’d be remiss
if we didn’t include 21 year old
edmonton oilers center Connor McDavid on
a list of rising stars even if he’s
already attained superstar status
McDavid is a generational talent akin to
Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby the type
of player who can single-handedly turn a
franchise around in 2017 he took home
both the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s
top point getter and the heart for
League MVP a minimum point a game player
McDavid repeated us our Tross champion
the following season despite the Oilers
missing the playoffs for the skill set
like his the question isn’t if McDavid
will win a cup but when do you agree
