A number of players stood out in the prospect pool this year — in good ways and bad — and those performances were reflected in the 2016 rankings.
Another summer of the Top 25 Under 25 is behind is, and there were some big changes from our 2015 rankings.
The most notable change was the debut of 2016 ninth-overall selection Mikhail Sergachev, making his first appearance in the series at #3. The young Russian defenceman will be a mainstay on the list for many years to come.
We also have third-round selection Will Bitten making the cut, slotting into the 14th position.
