As teams begin to fall out of the NHL playoff picture and more are looking ahead to the future, it's as good a time as any to take a look at how the top prospects have progressed. Sorry to those teams that are both out of the playoff picture and a little light on top-50 prospects.
There was a big shakeup at the top from our preseason list. Over 20 players from the summer list reached "graduate status," meaning they've played at least 26 games in the NHL this season. Basically, if a player's Calder Trophy eligibility for 2019-20 has been spoiled by games played this season, they're not eligible to be included here.
