In February 2021, Maxim Letunov will turn 25-years-old, making him the oldest prospect to be included in our 2020 rankings. Next season will be the seventh season since his draft year and he has three games of NHL experience so far. If the NHL adopts expanded roster sizes for the 2021 season, to insure coverage in a season where players are certainly expected to get sick, Letunov might be someone who goes from a fringe player to occasional lineup appearances.
But does that say more about the Sharks’ forward depth, or Letunov’s development?
It can be a bit hard to judge.
