This'll serve as my February Prospect Update (apologies to those who were looking for a January update, I just lost track of things).

These players are in no particular order within their tier. This is by ceiling only (obviously). And I've put a ranking, out of 10, as to the likelihood of these guys reaching this potential

Tier 1: Future Top-Tier NHLers (Top 5 in their position)
NO ONE, don't overrate these kids, they're bound to disappoint if you do

Tier 2: Future Top Line NHLers (1st line forward, 1st pair D, legit starting goalie)
Fabian Lysell (RW/LW) 9/10

Tier 3: Future Impact NHL players (Top six F, Top Four D, Low-end starter or 1A in a tandem G)
Mason Lohrei (LD) 8/10
Matthew Poitras (C/RW) 5/10

Tier 4: Future Quality NHL players (Middle Six F, Bottom Four D, Quality Backup/1B G)
Brett Harrison (C) 7/10
Dans Locmelis (C) 5/10
Georgi Merkulov (LW/RW/C) 6/10
Trevor Kuntar (C/LW) 6/10
Riley Duran (LW/C) 8/10
Ty Gallagher (RD) 7/10
Brandon Bussi (G) 9/10

Tier 5: Future Depth NHLers (Bottom 6 F, Third Pair D, Backup G)
John Beecher (C/LW) 10/10
Ryan Mast (RD) 7/10
Oskar Steen (RW) 6/10
Marc McLaughlin (RW/C) 8/10
Joona Koppanen (LW/C) 9/10
Jakub Lauko (LW/RW) 10/10
Quinn Olson (LW) 3/10
Michael Callahan (LD) 3/10
Roman Bychkov (LD) 2/10
Kyle Keyser (G) 5/10
Philip Svedeback (G) 4/10

Tier 6: Future Top AHLers (Maybe healthy scratches, but most likely call-up options)
Frederic Brunet (LD) 3/10
Jack Ahcan (LD) 8/10
Matias Mantykivi (C/LW) 6/10
Jonathan Myrenberg (RD) 4/10
Jake Schmaltz (C/LW) 5/10
Matt Filipe (LW/C) 6/10

Tier 8: Career Non-NHLers
Samuel Asselin (C)
Dustyn McFaul (LD)
Curtis Hall (C)
Nick Wolff (LD)
Mason Langenbrunner (RD)
Reid Dyck (G)
Michael DiPietro (G)

Tier ???: Unknown (Boom-or-Bust players or guys who don't play enough to see upside, really hard to put a place on these guys)
Andre Gasseau (C) Boom-or-Bust
Jackson Edward (LD) Boom-or-Bust
Cole Spicer (C) Doesn't play enough to really know. (I liked him out of the draft tho as a future bottom-sixer)

Solid list

I think I would have Beecher and Ahcan a tier higher but that's probably just preference. Well see how they develope. I think the Goalie tandem of the future for a long time to come will be Swayman and Bussi. I think Bussi will be a very solid affordable bacj up in the NHL.

Bottom six could be third line for Beecher. I think he caps out as a Frederic-type player: good third liner that can be used on an elite level fourth unit. Not enough offense for the top six in my opinion.

Ahcan is an interesting one to put on something like this. He’s clearly got talent but his age gives me reservations about potential.

Yes a Sway-Bussi tandem seems to be the future.
