WHICH TOP PROSPECTS HAD THE BEST 2025? | Biggest Risers of the Year

On the final day of 2025, we look back at the prospects who have improved the most, risen their stocks, and outright surprised! Who did we miss? First, we look at five players in the elite category, highlighted by Macklin Celebrini, Matthew Schaefer, and Ben Kindel. Next, some personal favourites who have risen up the ranks, featuring Václav Nestrašil, Ilya Protas, and Alexander Zharovsky. Finally, some under-the-radar winners of the year, including Dean Letourneau's angry rebound tour, going from overwhelmed in fourth-line minutes to a shift-dominating power forward on Boston College's top line.
