How this draft review works

We keep the actual draft order and the team that made each selection. For each pick, we rank rated players selected later in the same draft, from all seven rounds. This is a set of independent comparisons; it does not simulate players being taken off a new draft board.

sorted by a three-season rating based on Hockey Reference Point Shares. We weight Point Shares and games 50/30/20, newest season first. With the newest weight set to 1, the score is weighted Point Shares divided by weighted games plus 20. The extra games add no Point Shares, keeping very small samples conservative. Players below 20 weighted games are marked Limited data. Goalie Point Shares use the existing 0.72 scaling factor. The bar shows percentile among all players with NHL appearances in the three-season window. A missing season adds no games or points; players with only older data are labeled with their last data season. Players outside the window have No rating. This estimates demonstrated recent performance; career totals through 2025-2026 are shown separately. Career and peak ratings are not included.

29 of 64 original picks in these two rounds have a recent rating. 42 of 224 players in the full class are rated. A missing rating is not zero and does not erase a player's career. Bar lengths reflect approximate percentiles relative to NHL players in the rating window, not just this draft class.
