Goalies are voodoo. Now with that out of the way, we can take a look at the first goaltender to crack our top 100 and the number one ranked North American netminder, Oliver Rodrigue. Rodrigue is slight but has quick reflexes, good positioning and performed well at the Ivan Hlinka tournament to start the year…
We head to the QMJHL for our first defenceman of the 2018 consolidated rankings with Drummondville Voltigeurs defenceman Xavier Bernard landing in the 95th spot.

Traded mid-season to the North Bay Battalion, our 99th ranked prospect, Matthews Struthers comes in as the highest ranked player from North Bay. A powerful skating centre was in more of a depth role on the Owen Sound Attack but was given a larger role with the Battalion after being acquired for Canucks prospect, Brett…
Erik Gudbranson’s merit as a top-four defenceman came into question in the aftermath of his first season as a Vancouver Canuck. Fast forward a year later, and Gudbranson has done little to silence the skepticism. Player GP G A P 5v5 CF% Erik Gudbranson 52 2 3 5 43.8 Gudbranson’s already received his fair share…
