10 - Brendan Gallagher
He may have just completed his fourth NHL season, but he still managed to earn a spot on our Top 10 list. The 147th overall selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Gallagher finished second in voting for the Calder Trophy as the league’s Rookie of the Year in 2012-13, and was named one of four alternate captains before the beginning of the 2015-16 season. Last year, he recorded 19 goals and 40 points. Gallagher sits eighth in points amongst players selected in his draft class.
9 - Mark Streit
Drafted at the age of 26, Swiss defenseman Mark Streit was somewhat of a different case than other young hopefuls who still had plenty of developing to do.
