Daily Faceoff prospect analyst Steven Ellis joins Daily Faceoff Live to break down his latest NHL prospect pool rankings, ranking all 32 organizations from top to bottom.
Steven explains why the Chicago Blackhawks sit at No. 1, how the Calgary Flames have made one of the biggest jumps in the rankings, and why the Nashville Predators have quietly built one of the deepest prospect groups in the NHL.
The guys also discuss whether Chicago could actually have too many young players competing for NHL opportunities, Calgary's need for a true high-end offensive star, and the potential of Ethan Wittenbach and the Flames' developing prospect group.
At the other end of the rankings, Steven explains why the Dallas Stars are 32nd despite having a strong NHL roster, and why he is actually more concerned about the Vegas Golden Knights' future than Dallas' when considering the age of their current roster and the strength of their prospect pool.
Plus, Steven discusses Trevor Connelly, Cameron Schmidt, goaltending prospects, Dustin Wolf, and the upcoming Daily Faceoff rankings for the top NHL goalies and skaters.
