Combined 2024 and 2025

As a sharks fan suffering as such! (Lol) the saving grace for me is the idea of adding Celebrini LHC and Hensler RD!
I can endure the next 1 3/4 of really sucky seasons if we get to see a lineup with Smith Celebrini Eklund and Musty up front with Hensler and Mukhamadulin on D!
That’s a core to build a cup caliber team around IMO.

I think Celebrini is easily top 3, if not, top 1

I think Hagens is a good tier above all the others…(and probably similar to Hughes, Matthews level). Misa, Hensler, Celebrini, Eiserman, Levshunov are probably all candidates for next up.

Hagens looks good, but he's far away from his draft day. Shane Wright was a franchise-level prospect back in early 2021 but definitely didn't end up as such. Celebrini is putting Fantilli numbers in the NCAA right now, but is significantly younger than Fantilli was when playing in the NCAA. Not sure why people don't see Celebrini in the Matthews and Hughes tier honestly, a guy that could put over 100 pts while being in the Selke conversations from time to time...

It’s early…BU season really starts tonight against North Dakota. It’s been a nothing schedule since far. Also, Hockey East is well behind Big 10. There are much fewer easy nights for team like Michigan…so harder to make apples-to-apples comparison.

True true, but just being in the Hobbey Baker talks as a 17-year-old freshman should be enough to put him in the Franchise-Level prospect tier

Without a doubt…and honestly, good reason to consider Levshunov a candidate for 1oa in 2024 too. Among leaders in NCAA for +/-, shots, hits, points for dman, etc. Big impact player and 3rd youngest in NCAA.

extend to 2026 is it Gavin McKenna above all?

Maybe...certainly sounds like he could be up there. But 2026 may be tough...would be easier to add 2023 probably.

If adding 2023 into mix...maybe something like this:
