The list enters it's teen numbers this week and we get to see players with rankings below their age.

Official Vote

2026 T25U25: William Villeneuve is #17
He got 3 NHL games
2026 T25U25: Harry Nansi is #16
How far has he come?
2026 T25U25: Victor Johansson is #15
Seems like the hype around Johansson has cooled compared to where it was this time last year, but I’m still a fan.
2026 T25U25: Måns Gudmundsson is #14
Måns is this guy pretty Gud!
2026 T25U25: Luke Haymes is #13
Meet Jacob Quillan 2.0

The average rankings went from 18.18 for Villeneuve all the way to 14.27 for Luke Haymes. The big jump was a two-point leap up for the first unanimously ranked player, Harry Nansi. That's the second very large jump in the bottom section of the list and the rest of the run is smaller jumps up with no clear demarcation in the next week but some pretty obvious ones after that.

Community Vote

17 Tyler Hopkins

With a weighted average ranking of 17.75, Hopkins has a very strong consensus vote and very little noise.

16 Ethan MacKenzie

Ranked at 17.69, Ethan MacKenzie, newly drafted, is right there with Hopkins, virtually indistinguishable in voting pattern.

Neither of these two players have appeared on the Official Vote yet.

15 Victor Johansson

With a ranking of 17.50, last year's it-boy is exactly in line with the prior two choices and his official vote ranking too.

14 Noah Chadwick

At a virtual tie with a ranking of 17.49, there is a glimmer of a split opinion on this older defender.

13 Ryan Tverberg

The big difference on this section of the vote is the ranking of Ryan Tverberg with 16.63 in average ranking at place 13, 11 spots higher than the official vote.

He got a few votes at a lot of spots on the list, one of the most spread out results of any player.

With Chadwick and Tverberg, the N/A count has dropped down and shows something closer to unanimous ranking.

Normally, the two votes converge in the top 12 or so, but there will still be some big differences next week as we count from 12-8. See you next weekend.
