With the first pre-season game a little over a month away, it’s time to take a look at the New York Islanders’ Top 25 prospects under the age of 25. Anyone under the age of 25 by August 1st, 2018, was eligible, which gave us a list of 37 prospects to narrow down to the top 25.
The ranking criteria tends to be a mix of “what are you doing right now?” vs. “what are you going to be in the future?” meaning that some prospects who have already made the NHL may be ranked much lower than those who have a high ceiling and high-end skill set.
