Devils check in at No. 22 in Wheeler’s 2026 NHL Prospect Rankings

Scott Wheeler slots the New Jersey Devils at No. 22 in his 2026 NHL prospect pool, noting a lack of a true elite forward but strong goaltending depth and a solid group of defensemen and depth forwards. The ranking marks a five-spot drop from 2025, reflecting the organization’s emphasis on development over standout top forwards, with notable names such as Mikhail Yegorov (goalie), Anton Silayev, Seamus Casey, Shane Lachance, Topias Vilén and Lenni Hämeenaho among the depth.

Senators ranked 26th in Wheeler’s 2026 NHL prospect pool

The piece also highlights several other Senators prospects across positions who could develop into NHL contributors, though the overall ceiling appears limited compared to top systems.
