The 2021 NHL Entry Draft begins on Friday, and EOTP has been keeping track of most of the rankings to come out ahead of the draft.
Some rankings have more correlation to how the draft will unfold than others, and no rankings are perfect so we combined 15 of the most respected draft rankings and used a modified average of them to get our own rankings.
This is our sixth year doing this. Last year out of the 150 top-ranked players, 132 (88%) were drafted. Only one of the top 100 players was not drafted, 98th-ranked Ethan Caldwell.
