Today I take my first look at the 2023 NHL Draft class, with the caveat that I expect a lot will change between now and draft day 2023. This is meant to just look at what I consider early on to be the top tier of talent, and that list will grow as the season progresses and I become more familiar with the age group. The 2023 class is headlined by two potential NHL stars in Connor Bedard and Matvei Michkov. It looks like a forward-heavy draft early on, although I suspect that as the season goes on, defensemen that I’m overlooking today will emerge.
