CapOrCup draft class · 2026-27
The next draft class, ranked from the numbers.
Every draft-eligible player in the OHL, WHL, QMJHL, USHL, the Czech junior Extraliga and Finland's U20 SM-sarja, from the leagues' own statistics feeds. Scored the same way as our prospect rankings: what he produces against his own league, how much of that league's scoring survives the move to the NHL, and his age. Last season's line sits beside this season's.

How the score is built
The 2027 class by birthdate (16 September 2008 to 15 September 2009 for first-year eligibility; players passed over in an earlier draft are included and flagged) in the OHL, WHL, QMJHL and USHL feeds, scored as production percentile within their own league and position (points per game; goalies save percentage), times the league's measured translation to the NHL (or a stated default), times an age factor that favours the younger player for the same production. Last season's line is shown beside this season's. Early in a season the games-played counts are small, and the page says so. A player needs ten games on the season that carries his score; until this season reaches ten games, last season's full line carries the score and the row says so.
