Хоккеист «Торпедо» возглавил рейтинг игроков не из Северной Америки перед драфтом НХЛ
Исполнителю этого же амплуа Артему Левшунову прочат еще более светлое будущее. Он выпустил свой предварительный рейтинг десяти лучших проспектов для драфта НХЛ следующего года. Левшунов мог бы сыграть в высших юниорских лигах уже в прошлом сезоне, если бы не запрет на участие белорусских и российских игроков на импортном драфте КХЛ 2022 года.
The 17-year-old forward player has currently committed to Boston University. Vancouver native started competing for the BC Junior Canucks in 2015. Four years later, he joined the San Jose Jr. Sharks under-14 team. Macklin joined the Shattuck St. He recorded the highest of 141 points in 50 games played in the 2020-21 season. With his scoring skills, he accumulated 46 goals and 40 assists in 50 games.
He has since represented Middlesex Islanders and Shattuck St. He accumulated 28 goals and 16 assists in 32 games with the team. Recently, he committed to play college hockey at the University of Minnesota. With sneaky strength, Cole has the ability to deceive goalies in the arena. As the top 2nd pick, he is set to give tough competition to Celebrini. Artyom Levshunov Artyom Levshunov from Zhlobin, Belarus is ranked third in the top draft prospects list.
In the offensive zone when off puck, he does a great job of finding open ice down low to create an intriguing passing option for his teammates.
He will also look to jump onto loose pucks at the crease and capitalize with a quick goal before the goaltender can react. Misa has tremendous upside and could see a bump up in our next set of rankings. The highest a Norweigan has been picked was Marius Holtet, who went 42nd overall in 2002. The Oslo native has everything to be a top NHLer. The things that make him stand out? His release is fantastic, he gets the puck off crisply, quickly, and with a high level of accuracy even if it is away from his body or in his feet. His hockey IQ is impressive, he is virtually never out of position and seemingly knows where everyone is on ice at all times.
He is also a legitimate power-forward, who likes to throw his weight around and get to the net-front. On the boards he regularly dominates men 15 years his senior. Defensively he is also impressive, with an active stick and the ability to win most 1-v-1 battles. His skating is solid, but will need to get more explosive. Additionally, while his vision is fantastic, he does not always connect on pass attempts, and will likely never be a high-end play-maker. But make no mistake, he has the potential to be one of the premier two-way wingers in the NHL. He uses the threat of his shot very effectively to create passing lanes for his teammates to move into.
He plays a very intelligent game which sees him attack the middle often and quite successfully as he leverages a combination of his high-level stickhandling and physical tools. The knock on his game thus far has been his quirky staking style, but it seems to be improving with each game, and he still has good speed in-spite of his mechanics. Additionally, he has proven to be quite the effective penalty killer for Windsor, and this is a result of his excellent stick movement, often eliminating passing lanes in the defensive zone and helping create passing options in the offensive zone. Similarly to Misa, he looks to pray on the vulnerable and does a great job of stick lifting and poke checking to cause disruption in puck possession. Iginla does well at feathering passes in tight and does a good job with puck security when being pursued by multiple attackers at close proximity. Iginla has second line upside and could be deployed at center or wing without losing a step. But make no mistake, the Nizhnekamsk native has been one of the best three Russian forwards amongst his age-group for the last couple of years.
This year however? He has taken a giant leap, and is playing at a level in the KHL that very few draft eligibles ever achieve. Artamonov belies the outdated stereotype of the skilled, Russian winger who only plays in the offensive zone. He is an energiser bunny. Voracious on the fore-check, diligent in the defensive zone, with an active stick that constantly disrupts lanes. Furthermore, while no-one would mistake him for a physical player, he is more than happy to go to the corners or net-front. He is a great skater and a fantastic passer, alongside this his ability to get free ice in the offensive zone is exceptional.
The downsides? He has extremely good speed for his size especially his lateral speed that allows him to shift positioning when he is slighly further away from where he needs to be when defending against the rush. Silyaev uses his reach and size to take up space. While this ranking might seem relatively low to where others have Silayev, the offensive upside of Artamonov, Iginla, Misa, Greentree and others in the 10-20 range made it a challenge for the Smaht team to push Silayev up higher. Josh Tessler 18 — Trevor Connelly, F, Tri-City Trevor Connelly does a good job of not forcing the puck into danger and will pivot away from pressure to get the separation that he needs to complete a pass to the interior. When driving the cycle to find a lane to the slot, he does a good job of navigating the puck around pressure with his reach and great handling. He will work the puck along the boards and scan for passing lanes to get the puck to an open teammate in the slot.
If he has the puck and a teammate is close by with an attacker looking on, he will delay, draw the attacker to him and then pass to his teammate who is now open with a clear lane to the crease. Hemming has them all. He can be a juggernaut even against men in Liiga, able to use his speed, edge-work, pick-handling and size in conjunction to drop a shoulder and get past anyone. Even at 17 years old against men, Hemming has an incredible transition game. His wrist-shot is lethal to boot, and he is able to pick a corner from anywhere on ice. While he has the size he rarely uses it, and plays on the perimeter. Defensively he gets lost far too often, and his consistency is also worrying, as even against his own age-group he can go missing for long stretches.
There is the upside for him to be a 30 goal scorer in the NHL if he can iron out these kinks. Boisvert will toe drag to get separation and then quickly make use of a passing lane. He has a great shot off of the rush and has found success sniping far side top shelf goals from low danger.
Six of my top nine ranked players are defensemen. Advertisement Ranked players are placed into tiers and given tool grades. Tool grades are based on a scale with six separate levels, with an eye toward how this attribute would grade in the NHL poor, below-average, average, above-average, high-end and elite. Skating, puck skills, hockey sense and compete for every projected NHL player is graded. Shot grades are only included if a shot is notably good or poor.

2024 NHL Draft Rankings: Mid-November Top 40
Защитник нижегородского «Торпедо» Антон Силаев возглавил рейтинг игроков не из Северной Америки перед драфтом НХЛ 2024 года. Белорусский защитник Артем Левшунов занимает шестую позицию в рейтинге лучших проспектов драфта НХЛ-2024 по версии портала Elite Prospects. With the 2024 NHL Draft just 2 months away, it's time to take a look at the top 100 prospects available in this year's draft class. NHL scoring leaders and demographics breakdown in the 2023-2024 season.
The Athletic: Силаев и Демидов в топ-10 рейтинга драфта НХЛ — 2024
This looks like an average draft class right now. The potential No. There are several defense prospects who have the potential to be impact players. I have three defenders projected as No. Six of my top nine ranked players are defensemen.
Levshunov played for the youth team Metallurg Zhlobin.
He then represented his country in the second-level ice hockey league, Belarus Vysshaya. He achieved 13 goals and 29 assists in just 62 games. Artyom became noticeable with his impressive defense skills. Ivan Demidov Ivan Demidov is a winger in the making. Petersburg of the MHL.
Though Demidov has to improve his skating skills, his puck movement is noticeable. He creates magic on ice when he gets hold of the rubber disc. Ivan recently played 41 games in the MHL and scored whopping 62 points. He is ranked fourth top prospect by Consolidated Ranking and Daily Faceoff. He was selected by the Spokane Chiefs with whom he has played 2 seasons.
Catton started his junior career with the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association. He was noticed by the scouts when he scored 58 goals in just 30 games with the U-15 Saskatoon Bandits.
Об этом пишет пресс-служба лиги. Также сообщается, что российский вратарь Михаил Егоров, выступающий за «Омаху», возглавил рейтинг голкиперов, выступающих в Северной Америке. Добавим, что лучшим среди полевых игроков, выступающих в Северной Америки, стал канадец Маклин Селебрини.
When shooting from range, he has a very quick shot release and will look to target glove side. He also tallied quite a few backdoor goals at 5v5 this season by being in the right space at the right time. Defensively, he plays more of a support role, but always looks to cement himself in open ice towards the blue line so he can provide an outlet lane for his defensemen.
Marques has middle six upside. On the flip side, he will use pivots to shake free of pressure when he has the puck. From a transition perspective, Ustinkov looks to usually make an outlet pass from the backend to a teammate further up in the defensive zone and let his forwards push play up ice. But, there are some shifts in which he looks to be a bit more of a driver in transition. He will skate up the offensive zone blue line to be a passing option for his teammates in the neutral zone, facilitate a controlled zone entry once he has the puck on his stick, push the puck up the boards and try to find a gap to get a pass off to a teammate down in the zone. When off puck and the oppositional breakout is about to kick off, he will skate up to the backside of an attacker off of the boards to make it a challenge for that attacker to grab control of the puck off of a pass from a the defenseman looking to complete a breakout pass. His distribution from deep in his own zone has been great. He can wire quick stretch passes to the neutral zone and does a good job of identifying tight passing lanes while pushing the puck up in the defensive zone and seeing that he could potentially get the puck in the hands of a teammate further up in the zone.
Is he an exciting player? Not really. Will he be a top pairing guy in the NHL? He rarely gets beaten in the defensive zone, and he is strong in transition, utilising his great skating ability in conjunction with a level of calmness with the puck on his stick that allows him to scan the ice and pick out the best outlet options. He will likely never put up too many points, given his shot is just average, he is not overly creative, and his hands are middling. He also starts to turn the puck over as soon as he gets away from making the simple play. Late in the first he could be a solid option, and can certainly be a good second pairing defenseman down the line. Hage is a two-way forward with excellent distribution, good reach and provides tight pressure in his own zone.
His reach and handling allow him to navigate around pressure with ease when driving the puck up ice. In transition, he will look to pass off of the boards if he runs into too much pressure and he has spotted an open teammate further up in the neutral zone. Hage has excellent speed and can push pace to be the driver on a middle six line in the NHL. He does have an awkward skating stride as he hunches over with a less bent knee, but with the puck on the stick Mustard can get to an above-average pace. His skill is great for his size, and he can get off the wall and into dangerous areas at ease at times with the puck on his stick. He has an excellent power stride that he will use to get himself into position to defend should be a bit too far away from where he needs to be. Sennecke is an absolute hound on the forecheck where his motor will not stop until he gains possession of that puck. From there he flashes elite ability with his hands, and does a great job in small areas weaving and stickhandling through defenders skates, and sticks.
He does a great job keeping pucks and plays alive off the wall by slipping through checks or dangling in a phone-booth. That being said, Swedish defenseman Alfons Freij possesses many traits and attributes that give him a shot at hearing his name called on day 1 and still make him a very intriguing prospect for any organization. His two best and most projectable traits are his skating and puck moving ability, and they often go hand-in-hand. Freij is an incredibly mobile defenseman who oozes confidence with the puck on his stick. He often will take the puck from behind his own net and carry it up ice into the offensive zone to create scoring chances. At times he will turn the puck over and gift odd man rushes to the opposition. Another aspect of his game that will need to improve as he develops is his in zone defense. His skating prowess makes him a capable rush defender, however at times he can get caught out of position chasing pucks once the opposition has established possession.
That said, his foundational tools and willingness to experiment with them give him serious potential. Without a doubt, his most dangerous attribute is his lightning quick release. He possesses an NHL-caliber one timer and can generate incredible power and accuracy with almost no wind-up. Vuollet is a threat on and off the puck in the offensive zone. He always has his head up scanning the ice in front of him and anticipating the next play. With that in mind, he utilizes incredibly quick hands and deception to challenge defenders with the puck to create scoring chances for himself or bait them in to facilitate for his teammates. Though undersized, Vuollet is unafraid of initiating contact and can be a real nuisance in front of the net. He likes to pinch up in the offensive zone and pass to the interior.
But, Hutson has struggled with puck control and sometimes delays a bit too long when determining his next move while pinching with the puck. Josh Tessler Full List.
Sportsnet: Демидов – 3-й в рейтинге проспектов на драфте НХЛ-2024, Силаев – 8-й, Чернышов – 18-й

Драфт НХЛ 2024: Рейтинг проспектов и перспективы. 62-й драфт НХЛ пройдёт с 28 по 29 июня 2024 года в Парадайсе, штат Невада, США. Ожидается, что драфт пройдёт на музыкально-развлекательной арене «Сфера». Защитник нижегородского «Торпедо» Антон Силаев занял первое место в международном рейтинге драфта НХЛ в 2024 году, сообщает Центральное скаутское бюро лиги.
NHL Draft Center 2024
На восьмом месте — защитник «Торпедо» Антон Силаев. Нападающий «Динамо» Антон Чернышов занял 18-е место. Напомним, что в первом раунде драфта 2023 года было выбрано четверо россиян: защитник Дмитрий Симашев 6-й номер, «Аризона» , нападающий Матвей Мичков 7-й, «Филадельфия» , нападающий Даниил Бут 12-й, «Аризона» и защитник Михаил Гуляев 31-й, «Колорадо».
Артема Левшунова включают в топ-10 проспектов уже драфта NHL-2024 Едва отгремели события предыдущего. Один из самых одаренных хоккеистов Беларуси молодого поколения, которого Bet News ставил даже на первое место среди себе подобных в специальном материале, продолжает получать позитивные отзывы за океаном. На драфте Национальной хоккейной лиги NHL в 2023 было выбрано рекордное количество белорусов — пять.
В последнем сезоне он набрал 42 очка, что является впечатляющим показателем для игрока, которому на драфт выходить только через год. Левшунов отлично действует в атаке и обороне, у него хорошие руки и высокий хоккейный IQ. Это современный защитник, который может наказать своих соперников как за счет силовой игры, так и посредством результативных действий.
Третьим в списке стал финн Конста Хелениус. Об этом пишет пресс-служба лиги. Также сообщается, что российский вратарь Михаил Егоров, выступающий за «Омаху», возглавил рейтинг голкиперов, выступающих в Северной Америке.
Демидов – 3-й в рейтинге драфта-2024 от NHL.com, Силаев – 4-й. 6 российских игроков вошли в топ-32
Также сообщается, что российский вратарь Михаил Егоров, выступающий за «Омаху», возглавил рейтинг голкиперов, выступающих в Северной Америке. Добавим, что лучшим среди полевых игроков, выступающих в Северной Америки, стал канадец Маклин Селебрини. Кроме того, двукратная чемпионка мира Екатерина Гамова отреагировала на гневный пост «Динамо», адресованный калининградскому «Локомотиву».
A team can only jump ten spots, so only the top 11 teams are eligible for the 1st pick. If a team in the 12-16 range wins the first drawing, the first pick will be awarded to the worst team.
The 12-16 seed team that won the first drawing is also locked into their new position.
He also has great poise for his age and is a dangerous playmaker. He currently has eight goals and three assists through six games. The team that selects first overall will be getting a game-breaking talent and likely a franchise forward to build around. Of all the rankings I looked at, only EliteProspects. Eiserman is an elite goal-scorer, likely the best in this draft class, and can play at high speeds which bodes well for transitioning to the NHL. Eiserman came very close to breaking that record last season but came just shy with 69 in 62 games between the U17 and U18 teams. No rankings I looked at have him lower than third. He drives the offence, as evidenced by his 19 goals and 62 points through 41 games in the MHL last season. Once he finds some stability, the points will surely follow.
With a December birthday, Demidov is on the older side of first-year-eligible draft prospects. That said, the wait could be worth it as he could end up being a top-line scorer at the NHL level. NCAA Artyom Levshunov ranks anywhere in the four to six range, but I like him at the high end of that range, right after the big three. He skates well, can move the puck, and his shot is a real scoring threat.
Defensively, Mews will struggle with gap control from time to time and his defensive work could use further refinement, but when you to balance that with his distribution with the puck you are looking at a mid-to-late first round prospect.
Although there may be something to this, Ritchie is still doing a lot of things very well. I have a tough time seeing him falling out of round 1 as the season goes along. His feet and hands are ultra quick making him an exceptional puck carrier. If you give Ritchie time to pickup speed and attack defenders downhill, you will be sorry after he beats you, and secures middle ice. Since the new year of this past season, Yakemchuk has really started to take strides, and his game continues to round itself out.
Yakemchuk has a nice blend of size, skill, and aggressiveness that allow him to be a force all over the ice. His instincts are great, and he joins the rush when he feels he can contribute to the play. He holds his own in the defensive zone with his size and ability to separate puck carriers from the puck to quick start offense the other way for his side. He plays a gritty grame and works the boards with great pressure shift in shift out. He is defensively responsible in transition and will put up a tough fight at open ice.
In the defensive zone, he will fall back to the low slot and provide support to his defensemen down low. Most of his MHL primary 5v5 points have come off of odd man rushes. His puck movement in transition is excellent. His handling and distribution is excellent. He is shifty, mobile, agile and has tremendous speed.
Basha does a good job of utilizing tight passing lanes to the slot. He will grab possession of loose pucks off the boards, drive to the trapezoid and look to feather passes to the low slot. I could see Basha being a riser in the next of rankings. Josh Tessler 27 — Tanner Howe, F, Regina Tanner Howe plays a high-energy skilled game with a dogged off-puck game that allows him to play bigger than he is. I expect him to rise as the year goes on, but if his microstat profile stays the same, his size will see him slip in the draft.
Whenever he has the puck outside of the slot and pressure intensifies, he looks for the tighest gaps and uses them to get pucks to the slot. He has great handling and will implement shot fakes and toe drags to net the separation that he needs to get a pass off. When shooting from range, he has a very quick shot release and will look to target glove side. He also tallied quite a few backdoor goals at 5v5 this season by being in the right space at the right time. Defensively, he plays more of a support role, but always looks to cement himself in open ice towards the blue line so he can provide an outlet lane for his defensemen.
Marques has middle six upside. On the flip side, he will use pivots to shake free of pressure when he has the puck.

Hage has excellent speed and can push pace to be the driver on a middle six line in the NHL. He does have an awkward skating stride as he hunches over with a less bent knee, but with the puck on the stick Mustard can get to an above-average pace.

List and rankings of all top prospects eligible for the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. With the 2024 NHL Draft just 2 months away, it's time to take a look at the top 100 prospects available in this year's draft class. Spencer Rattler enters 2024 NFL Draft as one of its biggest enigmas.
Российские игроки вошли в топ-5 проспектов драфта-2024 НХЛ по версии Sportsnet
Но это первоначальный список игроков, за которым стоит следить. Многие из игроков сыграют значимую роль во внутренних и международных соревнованиях в ближайшие месяцы. После, Миса побил прошлогодний рекорд по результативности, который на протяжении десяти лет удерживал Коннор Макдэвид. Немногие игроки U-16 были настолько успешны в OHL. Миса, 16-летний игрок, забросивший 22 шайбы и набравший 56 очков в 45 играх в качестве новичка. Saginaw принимает Мемориальный кубок 2024 года, и если все пойдет хорошо, Миса покажет хоккейному миру, почему он является игроком, за которым будут следить скауты. Невероятно, но Хагенс пока ещё недооцененный игрок, который может забрасывать шайбы, создавать голевые моменты, использовать скорость лучше многих игроков своего возраста. Форвард ростом 6 футов был лидером Erie, набрав 42 очка в одной из худших команд лиги. В следующем году команда окажется в лучшем положении после добавления в состав Мэтью Шефера, перспективного новичка с драфта OHL-2023. Но Спенс все еще будет выполнять большую часть тяжелой работы.
Скауты были поражены тем, как много он может выжать из своих товарищей по линии, и он точно станет только лучше с ещё одним годом в OHL.
He is an energiser bunny. Voracious on the fore-check, diligent in the defensive zone, with an active stick that constantly disrupts lanes.
Furthermore, while no-one would mistake him for a physical player, he is more than happy to go to the corners or net-front. He is a great skater and a fantastic passer, alongside this his ability to get free ice in the offensive zone is exceptional. The downsides?
He has extremely good speed for his size especially his lateral speed that allows him to shift positioning when he is slighly further away from where he needs to be when defending against the rush. Silyaev uses his reach and size to take up space. While this ranking might seem relatively low to where others have Silayev, the offensive upside of Artamonov, Iginla, Misa, Greentree and others in the 10-20 range made it a challenge for the Smaht team to push Silayev up higher.
Josh Tessler 18 — Trevor Connelly, F, Tri-City Trevor Connelly does a good job of not forcing the puck into danger and will pivot away from pressure to get the separation that he needs to complete a pass to the interior. When driving the cycle to find a lane to the slot, he does a good job of navigating the puck around pressure with his reach and great handling. He will work the puck along the boards and scan for passing lanes to get the puck to an open teammate in the slot.
If he has the puck and a teammate is close by with an attacker looking on, he will delay, draw the attacker to him and then pass to his teammate who is now open with a clear lane to the crease. Hemming has them all. He can be a juggernaut even against men in Liiga, able to use his speed, edge-work, pick-handling and size in conjunction to drop a shoulder and get past anyone.
Even at 17 years old against men, Hemming has an incredible transition game. His wrist-shot is lethal to boot, and he is able to pick a corner from anywhere on ice. While he has the size he rarely uses it, and plays on the perimeter.
Defensively he gets lost far too often, and his consistency is also worrying, as even against his own age-group he can go missing for long stretches. There is the upside for him to be a 30 goal scorer in the NHL if he can iron out these kinks. Boisvert will toe drag to get separation and then quickly make use of a passing lane.
He has a great shot off of the rush and has found success sniping far side top shelf goals from low danger. His dangling and toe drags have helped light the lamp in Muskegon regularly. Is this simply a case of the spotlight being so strong, for so long, that his weaknesses have been magnified?
The answer is probably no. There are legitimate concerns over his game. He is undersized, he is not the best skater, and early this season a knee injury that required surgery has put him out for four months.
Kiviharju is expected to be healthy again in February. However, in a league where top pairing defensemen are at a premium, if Kiviharju falls outside the first? There is the potential for one of the bigger draft steals in recent history.
While there are concerns about his game the upside is inarguable. His hockey IQ would be the envy of most NHLers, he is almost always two-steps ahead and rarely makes bad decisions. This, combined with fantastic vision, great passing and silky hands means he is great in transition, and controls play when set-up in the OZ.
Defensively he has an active stick, good gap control, and thrives on breaking up plays before they develop. He is also strong down low, even against players 15 years older and 50lbs heavier. His upside is still a 1 defenseman despite the concerns.
Mews has excellent handling that he can ulitize to navigate through tight pressure to get separation before completing an outlet feed. While he has had productive shifts where he pushed pace, there are shifts in which I see Mews will encounter pressure and pass into traffic instead of using his handling to open up an uncontested passing lane. Defensively, Mews will struggle with gap control from time to time and his defensive work could use further refinement, but when you to balance that with his distribution with the puck you are looking at a mid-to-late first round prospect.
Although there may be something to this, Ritchie is still doing a lot of things very well. I have a tough time seeing him falling out of round 1 as the season goes along. His feet and hands are ultra quick making him an exceptional puck carrier.
If you give Ritchie time to pickup speed and attack defenders downhill, you will be sorry after he beats you, and secures middle ice. Since the new year of this past season, Yakemchuk has really started to take strides, and his game continues to round itself out. Yakemchuk has a nice blend of size, skill, and aggressiveness that allow him to be a force all over the ice.
His instincts are great, and he joins the rush when he feels he can contribute to the play. He holds his own in the defensive zone with his size and ability to separate puck carriers from the puck to quick start offense the other way for his side.
