Another tie after the holiday brought us six through 10 on the list last week.

Official Vote

10 Victor Johansson

At a weighted average ranking of 10.6, Johansson came in 1.5 ranking points above Miroslav Holinka at 11.

2025 T25U25: Victor Johansson is #10
Johansson has been making a series of big leaps in his development, and it’s time for everyone to get on board.


9 Tyler Hopkins

Hopkins average was one full ranking point higher at 9.6.

2025 T25U25: Tyler Hopkins is #9
Drafted in the third round, but projected higher, Hopkins is a centre prospect with potential.

7 Henry Thrun & Dennis Hildeby

Yet another tie vote saw Hildeby and Thrun land 1.1 ranking points higher at 8.5. Most of these votes were spread fairly wide, but the average had them all in about the same spot.

2025 T25U25: Henry Thrun is tied at #7
New to the team, but almost too old for the T25.
2025 T25U25: Dennis Hildeby is tied at #7
Will the beast be unleashed to the Maple Leafs?

6 Tinus Luc Koblar

With an average ranking of 6.9, TLK had the biggest lead over the next man in this section of the list. But his vote spread was very wide.

2025 T25U25: Tinus Luc Koblar is #6
Toronto’s top pick in the 2025 draft debuts on our Top 25 Under 25 ranking at #6 and I am here for the hype.

Next week is the top five, and the end of the T25 just in time for the prospect tournament to show us how wrong we all were in our votes.

Community Vote

There are three names in both votes over this same range, but some big differences in spacing of rankings.

10 Jacob Quillan

Quillan starts the community top 10 with a weighted ranking of 14.45, which means this vote has some serious catching up to do.

Voters were very sure Quillan was in the middle of the ranking.

9 Victor Johansson

Johansson jumps up 2.1 ranking points to get to 12.37, marking a division in the vote that will hold for a few placings.

A strong consensus for his placing higher than everyone else so far. He seems to have been the dividing line for both votes, just in a slightly different place.

8 Artur Akhtyamov

Again a goalie is higher on the community side of the vote. At 11.97, Akhtyamov is essentially tied with Johansson.

An extremely strong consensus ranking put Akhtyamov over Johansson.

7 Henry Thrun

With an average of 10.97, Thrun is one place higher.

A little less consensus and some fairly surprising high votes.


6 Dennis Hildeby

Tied with Thrun on the official vote, Hildeby marks out the biggest jump up in ranking on the community side. An average of 7.25, which is 3.7 ranking points higher than Thrun, gets this vote nearly ready to stairstep five through one.

This extreme consensus opinion has the community vote showing a top six closely ranked as does the official vote – there's just a disagreement about who is number six, and it's a pretty strong one.

Next week the top five count down, the same five on both lists, just not in the same order. See you then.
