UFFS Preliminary Rankings: Shane Wright Consensus №1 for 2022
The results are in and, to no surprise, Shane Wright is the consensus №1 prospect for the 2022 NHL Draft, according to the seven UFFS scouts that contributed to these preliminary rankings.
Those scouts submitted their Top 64 as of November 1, with the contributors including Craig Button of High Level Scouting, Jordan Shedletzky of Fantalytica.tech, George Bachul of Regal Sports Group, Gabe Foley of In The Trenches Scouting, Dan Nadeau of Prestige Worldwide, Gur Dultak of Dultak Scouting Service, and UFFS director of hockey scouting Larry Fisher, whose personal Top 100 preliminary rankings are revealed below.
Wright was №1 on all seven lists, as he is in most every public ranking to date. The Kingston Frontenacs centre can score like John Tavares but also possesses slick playmaking ability, plenty of compete and enough finesse to earn top billing from scouts all around the world. Wright, like Tavares when he went first overall back in 2009, is considered the total package with leadership intangibles, and most believe Wright will be ready to step into the NHL next season and make an immediate impact as a rookie.
Nobody was going off the board at the top here, and there is no debate for first overall in the present — perhaps following the World Juniors, depending how these draft eligibles perform on that big stage — but the rest of the Top 10 is much less decided and there is absolutely no consensus beyond the Top 15.
Breaking down the numbers, only four prospects were ranked in the Top 10 by all seven scouts — with Wright joined by Matthew Savoie, Brad Lambert and Juraj Slafkovsky, though both Savoie and Slafkovsky were ranked as low as 10th on one occasion. Ivan Miroshnichenko was ranked in the Top 5 by six scouts and 11th by the lone outlier.
UFFS has labelled 15 prospects as consensus first-rounders — ranked in the Top 32 on all seven lists — with Joakim Kemell, Danila Yurov, Simon Nemec, Logan Cooley, Conor Geekie, Rutger McGroarty, Frank Nazar, Ty Nelson, Ryan Chesley and Tristan Luneau in addition to Wright, Savoie, Lambert, Slafkovsky and Miroshnichenko. David Jiricek is also deserving of first-round recognition, having been ranked in the Top 12 by six scouts and 33rd by the other. Jiricek would make it 16, suggesting half of the first round is locked in as of today.
From there, it turns into a typical crapshoot, with these seven lists going all over the map. Only 24 prospects appeared in the Top 64 for all seven scouts — the aforementioned 16, plus Elias Salomonsson, Filip Mesar, Isaac Howard, Marco Kasper, Jack Hughes, Cutter Gauthier, Lane Hutson and Pano Fimis. There were several shocking omissions from Seamus Casey and Cruz Lucius to Nathan Gaucher and Denton Mateychuk, not to mention the highly touted forward trio from Djurgardens in Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Noah Ostlund and Liam Ohgren as well as Swedish blueliners Mattias Havelid and Simon Forsmark. Russian winger Alexander Perevalov also warrants a shout-out, along with OHLers like David Goyette and Paul Ludwinski, among others who were ranked by five or six but not all seven.
As a result of those wide-ranging lists, 138 different prospects were ranked in the Top 64 at least once. That is obviously more than double the number of prospects that will eventually be selected in the Top 64 when the 2022 NHL Draft takes place in Montreal in July.
Generally speaking, Europeans have a head start with this draft class, having played a full season last year and also getting showcased at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup this summer, while most North Americans had reduced or missed seasons and Canada opted out of that annual tournament to launch the draft year.
So the North Americans are playing catch-up now — particularly the OHLers — and many of them are expected to trend up with more exposure over the course of this season. With more viewings, providing they perform well, the North Americans should rise in the rankings. But the Europeans are riding high in the early stages and hoping to sustain their spots with continued development throughout their draft year.

NOTE: 25 different scouts had their prospects ranked at least once in the Top 64 by these seven contributors. Alpine Prospects emerged as the clear frontrunner with a whopping 28 overall and 24 in the Top 100. Fantalytica.tech would rank second overall, with their four scouts combining for 22. Also worth noting, there were three prospects ranked in the Top 64 that remain available on the Open Market — namely, European forwards Marcel Marcel, Gustav Karlsson and Joel Jonsson — so expect them to be registered in a hurry now!
Fisher’s Preliminary Top 100
Let’s cut to the chase and talk tiers right off the top — starting with Wright in his own tier at №1, followed by 2–11 as legit Top 10 contenders, 12–24 as perceived locks for the first round, 25–42 as candidates to crack the Top 32 while surely sticking in the Top 64, then 43–80 as potential second-rounders likely to be taken in the Top 100, with the remainder being longer shots.
You’ll notice there are no overagers yet, opting to focus on first-time eligibles for my preliminary rankings as per usual. I do anticipate at least a few overagers in the Top 100 for 2022 but we’ll save those names for another day and upon further evaluation at the World Juniors.
Speaking of the World Juniors, if you’re a prospect junkie and hold that tournament in high regard, you’ll want to get in on our revolutionary Ultimate Fantasy World Juniors dynasty league that launches next weekend with the UFWJ Franchise Auction on Nov. 20–21. Minimum bids are $500 USD and there are only 10 franchises available to mirror the 10 countries competing in the WJC. Those franchises will draft 25-man rosters on Dec. 19 and compete throughout that two-week tournament over the holidays to earn prizes for the medallists, with the dynasty element retaining potential returnees as well as future prospects for the years to come! For more information, follow @TheUFWJ on Twitter and join our UFWJ Telegram group. Franchises may be looking for GMs and we are always welcoming more scouts ($25 USD to register).
As my rankings relate to the World Juniors, I’m expecting at least seven of my first-round prospects to be on display at the WJC and possibly a dozen among my Top 100. Their performances in that prestigious showcase could bolster their stock for our UFFS midseason rankings, which are tentatively scheduled for February following the CHL Top Prospects Game, with our final rankings to be released after the world under-18 tourney in April and perhaps closer to the draft if a combine event is announced for June.
Alas, it is now time to reveal my personal Top 100 preliminary rankings for the 2022 NHL Draft, and I’ll leave you with The Next 10 that just missed my cut but are very much on my radar going forward.
