The Draft Classes

Who's winning the draft? The top-10 overall picks of every class since 2020, ranked by what they've actually produced — then summon any first- or second-round pick onto the chart and start the argument.

How this works. Bars are the picks taken 1st through 10th overall in the selected draft, ranked by career NHL regular-season points through 2025-26 (completed seasons only), fetched from the NHL's public API. Nothing is estimated — a player with no NHL games yet shows zero, honestly. The compare box covers every first- and second-round pick in the class; whole-league compare (any pick, any round) arrives with the live site this fall. The class scoring leader always appears, even when he was drafted outside the top 10. Click a bar to open that player's career stats page, or use the box above to chart picks against each other in Compare Players. Drafting team shown; points credit follows the player wherever he plays now.
