It was a short turnaround from the 2022 draft cycle as the hockey calendar begins to return to normal, and our group is excited to bring you our preliminary rankings for the 2023 NHL Draft. While it is important not to get too carried away this early on, the 2023 class looks to be one of the deepest and most talented classes in recent memory. The group is headlined by a trio of players who have all the makings of true franchise players and bonafide NHL superstars, but there is a wealth of high-end talent beyond that as well. It appears to be an especially deep forward class, but there are likely to be more defensemen who emerge and propel themselves into the first-round conversation as the season unfolds.
