Future Watch 2021
Magazine

The Hockey News' annual Future Watch edition – now 100 pages! – has all the staples of our popular prospect issue: the Top 100 list, top 10s and team grades for every franchise, and Sneak Peeks at the next three NHL drafts. Also in the issue, we have features on the Ottawa Senators, Trevor Zegras, Quinton Byfield, Spencer Knight and much more.

ONCE EVERY 20 YEARS

The Hockey News

#MelnykIN • Those who called for an ownership change in Ottawa failed to see the long-term vision

CORONAVIRUS CONUNDRUM • The pandemic forced several top NHL prospects to play in unusual places – and in some cases to not play at all. But it also created a few unforeseen benefits

SWORDS & CROWNS • Based on WJCers, the future is bright in Buffalo and L.A.

RECOGNIZING FAULT LINES • There’s a lesson to be learned from how the NHL’s Cali teams planned for the future after a sustained period at the top

IDOL NO MORE • Trevor Zegras was once a star-struck, wide-eyed kid in awe of his childhood idol. Now he’s poised to become his peer. He’ll have to wait another year to face off against Kane, and by then he’ll probably have his own highlight reel to watch on YouTube

REIGN LIKE A KING • The offense is there and the defense is coming. Quinton Byfield is putting in the work, but there’s still a lot to be done. His size and skills have L.A. salivating, but he knows he has to round out his game in the AHL for when the call to NHL duty finally comes

BLAST FROM THE PAST • You can’t blame Jerry York for suffering from deja vu. The size, the skill, the mental makeup – everything about Spencer Knight reminds him of the goalie who made a living eating Boston teams for lunch

FREE AGENTS 2021 • This will be a fascinating year for college free agents, as the NCAA is allowing an extra season of eligibility due to the pandemic. So even seniors can go back to school if they don’t receive an pro offer that’s to their liking

Riding The Waves • No Matthews or McDavid? No problem. Though the Senators lack a bona fide superstar to build around, they have stockpiled an embarrassment of riches that’s coming to Ottawa in waves via North Dakota. Once a sinking ship, the Sens could crest with cup when all that talent comes over the horizon

WHAT’S INSIDE • Future Watch puts the spotlight on the next class of future NHL stars. Some are making an impact now, others will in a year or two. Here’s the story on who’s arriving and when

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD • It’s not all about team report-card grade. It’s how that measures up against the rest of the league

TOP 100 PROSPECTS • COVID-19 made it difficult for scouts to get a handle on prospect development. But the next wave of NHL stars is coming

TOP 100 FIXTURES • It’s rare for a teenager to make the NHL. The best of the rest pass through these pages annually
