from Corey Pronman of The Athletic,
To qualify a player needs to have played at least 25 NHL games in one season, or 50 career games, and be under the age of 25 as of Sept. 15, 2018. So players like Rasmus Dahlin, Elias Pettersson and Dylan Strome will not be considered, but they were part of my ranking of the top 100 prospects entering this season.
Evaluations are based in part on my talent evaluations of a player, as I’ve scouted almost all the players over the years, as well as incorporating their statistical production, adjusted for age, position and context.
