Locked On NHL Prospects

In this episode, we continue our Prospect Spotlight series, in which we take a full episode deep dive on a single draft-eligible prospect, today's focus: Victor Eklund, an incessantly energetic playmaking winger with a breadth of NHL tools and habits! First, we introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his tools: shooting, passing, handling, Skating, and physicality. Next, we shift our attention to his toolkit and habits, for which we take out the tactics board. Last, we discuss Eklund's projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.

Elite Prospects' tool projection scale goes from 1 to 9:

1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

2 - AHL Caliber Tool

3 - Replacement-Level Tool

4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool (Nick Suzuki's hockey sense)

8 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' passing)

9 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)

In this episode, we look at five USHL prospects whose stocks have shifted over the past two months. First, we look at Václav Nestrašil (2025) and Will Zellers (COL) who have been heating up as of late, catching fans' and scouts' eyes alike. Next, we check in with Charlie Trethewey (2025) and Adam Benák (2025) who have found more consistency in more simple roles as of late, steadying their stocks and setting them up to push up boards in the coming months. Finally, we wrap up the show by diving into Ivan Ryabkin's case, as the previous top-5 contender has fallen outside many first round rankings, including our own.

In this episode, we continue our Prospect Spotlight series, in which we take a full episode deep dive on a single draft-eligible prospect, today's focus: Anton Frondell, a physically mature goalscoring centre with strong defensive habits! First, we introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his trifecta of puck skills: shooting, passing, and handling. Next, we shift our attention to his habits, tools, and toolkit. Last, we debate Frondell's projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.

Elite Prospects' tool projection scale goes from 1 to 9:

1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

2 - AHL Caliber Tool

3 - Replacement-Level Tool

4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool (Nick Suzuki's hockey sense)

8 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' passing)

9 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)
