Welcome to my midseason ranking of the top 64 prospects eligible for the 2022 NHL Draft. This is my fourth of five rankings for this year’s draft class. It follows my early top 22, September’s preseason top 32 and November’s preliminary top 64. It will be followed by my final top 100 closer to the draft. My midseason top 64 includes 46 forwards, 18 defensemen, and zero goalies. I seriously considered two goalies here (both of whom I expect will slot on my longer year-end draft board), but this draft definitely lacks a legitimate prospect in net. This list is made up of 25 Canadians, 13 Americans, nine Swedes, five Finns, five Russians, three Slovaks, three Czechs, and one Austrian.
