SJHN Daily: Sharks Dominate Scott Wheeler’s Top Skater, Goalie Prospect Rankings
Scott Wheeler has released his list of the top-100 drafted NHL skater prospects.
The San Jose Sharks – with five players – sit tied at fourth for the most players on the list, while the Chicago Blackhawks lead the way with seven.
Michael Misa sits where he ended up in the 2025 NHL Draft – second behind Matthew Schaefer.
Sam Dickinson joins Misa as the Sharks’ representatives in Wheeler’s first tier, sitting in sixth place.
“He looks like he’s going to be a two-way stud in the NHL, and if he continues to improve the way he reads pressure, I think there’s first-pairing upside,” Wheeler wrote.
Quentin Musty (81), Igor Chernyshov (84), and Luca Cagnoni (86) round out the San Jose Sharks’ prospects on the list, all sitting in Wheeler’s fifth tier.
Wheeler also did a separate ranking for goalies, a top-20, and the San Jose Sharks really stood out here, with Yaroslav Askarov topping the charts and Josh Ravensbergen coming in at No. 5.
