1. Drake Batherson - RW - OTT- Batherson is having a solid season for Belleville in the AHL with 16 points in 14 games so far this season. It's not a question of if, but when Batherson heads to Ottawa for good.
2. Owen Tippett - W - FLA - Arguably, the best goal scoring draftee in the 2017 entry draft. Playing for Springfield in the AHL, Tippett has 12 points in 17 games. With the Panthers 2nd in the NHL in scoring, patience may be a virtue for Dave Tippett's son.
3) Sam Poulin - W - PIT - Son of former Flyer Dave Poulin, this Pittsburgh draftee is off to a scorching start for Sherbrooke in the Q. 37 points in just 19 games. 16 goals in just 19 games. This high-energy, talented 2-way winger should force his way into the Pens lineup by 2020-21.
4) Dmitry Zavgorodniy - LW - CGY - The highest scoring forward in Dayton's prospect system. 16 goals, 27 assists and 43 points, good for 3rd in the QMJHL. He should be skating on an NHL rink in 2-3 years.
5) Patrick Harper - C - NAS - Boston University top pivot has 15 in just 8 games. Gets better each year, not sure how his game translates to the Pro game, but we will get to find out in a year or two.
6) Daniel Sprong - W - ANA - A very, very talented offensive player who has trouble finding his game in the NHL. Pittsburgh grew tired of his uneven performance and sent this former second-rounder away for defenseman Marcus Petterson, which appears to be a steal for the Pens at this point. The Ducks waived Spring at the start of the 19-20 season and no one claimed Sprong. Still, his toolset is impressive and at 22, he's still very, very young.
7) Alex Nedeljkovic - G - CAR - Two strong years for the Charlotte Checkers in the AHL with a combined W/L record of 65-21-8 and a Turner Cup championship last season has built up the young goalie's resume. Petr Mrazek and James Reimer have played well so far this NHL season, which will force Neds to bide his time in the AHL.
8) Semyon Der-Arguchintsev - C - TOR - As much of a bummer the 2019-20 season has been so far for the NHL Leafs, there is help on the way. Semyon is producing at a high level on the OHL's Peterborough Petes. 31 points in just 18 games so far this campaign.
9) Shawn Boudrias - RW - MIN - Cape Breton's Boudrias has been a force so far this season in the QMJHL, totaling 13 goals and 13 assists for 26 points in 21 games.
10) Dustin Wolf - G - CGY - Not the biggest netminder, but one of the best in the WHL. 10 wins in 14 starts and a sterling .936 save percentage. Wolf just keeps winning and will be climbing up the Flames depth chart in the next few years.
