Top 25 OHL Prospects - Summer of 2025 -
An annual mid-summer practice now, I'm ranking the top NHL affiliated prospects who played in the OHL last season. This list is 25 names deep with several honorable mentions.1. Matthew Schaefer - Defense - New York IslandersThis is a no brainer for me. No secret that I love Schaefer and feel that he has the upside to be a franchise leading defender in the NHL for the Islanders. He's the complete package. Elite skater. Elite processor. Great human. Really the only thing missing from his game is a high end shot, which I think he'll need to work on to be a top notch powerplay quarterback at the next level. While I do expect him to earn a game or two in the NHL, I think given how little he played last year, the smart choice would be returning him to the OHL for one more year.2.

Nicklas Bäckström målskytt i uppvisningsmatchen -
Slog till direkt i träningsmatchen Nicklas Bäckström visade upp sig för Brynässupportrarna. Då gjorde han mål direkt i lagets uppvisningsmatch. – Man får gåshud, säger ”Bäckis” till Expressen. Nicklas Bäckström skrev i juli på för en comeback i Brynäs, där han slog igenom innan han växte ut till en av NHL:s allra bästa centrar. På fredagskvällen spelade Brynäs internmatch inför en hockeytörstande hemmapublik. ”Bäckis” presentation föranleddes av en hyllningsvideo uppe på jumbotronen och när han slutligen skrinnade ut var det till kvällens största jubel.

RANKING: Här är Silly Seasons största affärer -
1. Nicklas Bäckström, c, 37, Brynäs IF (från NHL/Washington Capitals) Nicklas Bäckström Kommentar: Bäckis är tillbaka i Brynäs, en nyhet som slog ner som en bomb ute i hockey-Sverige. Med över 1 000 NHL-matcher och en Stanley Cup-ring är han en superstjärna som lyfter hela SHL. Spelsinnnet håller fortfarande världsklass och håller han sig bara frisk så är det utan tvekan SHL:s bästa nyförvärv. Spelar enligt mina uppgifter för runt en 100-ing i månaden, så inte något som belastar Brynäs särskilt mycket. Här har Gävlelaget en ledare som kan ta dem till det där efterlängtade SM-guldet. Uppskattad lönenivå: 100-125 000 kr/mån 2. Charles Hudon, f, 31, Djurgårdens IF (från AHL/Ontario Reign) Charles Hudon Kommentar: Hudon är så bra spets du kan värva till SHL. Självklart var det långtifrån gratis för DIF. Kanadensaren har öst in poäng var han än spelat och stod för hela 64 poäng på 67 matcher i AHL i fjol. Besitter en snabbhet och näsa för mål som gör att han kommer att passa som h
