Additional Details:

Not slafkovsky because based solely on his LIIGA play, he wasn’t all that great. Raty played super well in the LIIGA and based solely on those stats, he is the best liiga prospect even though slafkovsky is the better prospect.

I'm assuming Cooley beat out Coronato on this list? Surprised you had Arsenio Sergeev, on the list. I haven't read much about him yet.

Cooley is USHL (last year). Beniers beat out Coronato. It's in order, just a bit hard to read. Another row before each player saying which league they belong to would make it look nicer, but that's a lot of work.

Sergeev was here just because he was the best USHL goalie. It’s a very forward heavy league. There are 6 goalies from the USHL while there are 65 drafted forwards and D from the USHL. Not to mention the USHL has plenty of good 2023 and 2024 prospects as well for skaters but not so much goalie so far. Sergeev had the highest save percentage and games played among those goalies. Of all of the goalies here, Sergeev is middle of the pack. As for coronato, he was a NCAA player this past season and had competition much better than him imo. Coronato would be my 5th or 6th forward prospect from the NCAA behind beniers, Johnson, brink, bordeleau, and maybe knies because of his size and play style. He’s good and I expect him to be a good NHLer and he is above plenty of top talent like brisson and lucius. I like coronato but he isn’t really close to beniers.

I'd split up USHL and USNTDP...as most of the best players will be from the latter.
-- USHL (Jackson Blake & Mitchell Miller)
-- USNTDP (Logan Cooley & Ryan Chesley)

Best Czech Goalie: Jakub Malek

Best High Schoolers: Alex Bump (F), Michael Fisher (D), Sam Scopa (G)
