Just listing the top 10 here with Pettersson leading the way... Top 50 NHL prospects for 2018-19 1. Elias Pettersson, W/C, Canucks Age: 19 // Drafted: Fifth overall, 2017 This dynamic 19-year-old playmaker accomplished one of the greatest seasons in Swedish Hockey League history. Pettersson crushed the SHL's junior scoring records and is expected to be Vancouver's new face of the franchise. 2. Andrei Svechnikov, RW, Hurricanes Age: 18 // Drafted: Second overall, 2018 A pure goal scorer in the mold of Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Laine, only Svechnikov is reliable in his own end. His physical and mental maturity complements an elite skill set that should help him be among the NHL's goal-scoring leaders throughout his career. 3. Rasmus Dahlin, LHD, Sabres Age: 18 // Drafted: First overall, 2018 The most heralded defense prospect in over 40 years has the strength and compete level to complement his superior play with the puck. It may take a season or two to get into high gear, but there's no reason to think Dahlin won't be one of the game's preeminent defenders for as long as he's in the league. 4. Casey Mittelstadt, C, Sabres Age: 19 // Drafted: Eighth overall, 2017 Putting up points has been pretty easy for Mittelstadt, who has Patrick Kane-like puck skills that should help Buffalo's power play. His ability to be either a playmaker or finisher continues to keep opponents guessing. 5. Eeli Tolvanen, RW/LW, Predators Age: 19 // Drafted: 30th overall, 2017 Tolvaven smashed the KHL's junior scoring record after being inexcusably passed over until late in the first round of the 2017 draft. 6. Kirill Kaprizov, LW, Wild Age: 21 // Drafted: 135th overall, 2015 One of the KHL's top players seems quite comfortable playing there. But the lure of the NHL could mean bad news for opposing goalies. 7. Miro Heiskanen, LHD, Stars Age: 19 // Drafted: Third overall, 2017 The best European defenseman not named Dahlin can play close to 30 minutes a game while showcasing his outstanding puck management skills and skating. He’s the most NHL-ready of any defense prospect in the league. 8. Filip Zadina, LW, Red Wings Age: 18 // Drafted: Sixth overall, 2018 A top-notch goal scorer who plays with fire and tenacity in all three zones, Zadina has perennial 30-goal potential. 9. Conor Timmins, RHD, Avalanche Age: 19 // Drafted: 32nd overall, 2017 Mature and poised defender was the key cog in Sault Ste Marie's attack. Timmins is NHL ready and ridiculously smooth. 10. Adam Boqvist, RHD, Blackhawks Age: 17 // Drafted: Eighth overall, 2018 A dynamic puck rusher with a blistering shot, Boqvist has all the tools necessary to put up points with regularity.
