Logan Brown is slated just outside the top-10, at #14. The sophomore centre is playing at just over a point-per-game pace, with six goals and 30 assists (leads the club) in 35 games.

Logan Stanley has skyrocketed up the rankings, checking in at #23 after earning an initial ‘C’ rating in the preseason.

In 41 games the 6’7 defenceman has three goals and nine assists to go along with a +6 rating and 75 penalty minutes.

Spitfires draftee Clayton Keller (USHL) is ranked as the #8 rated prospect.
