The NHL draft lottery is approaching, and teams are focusing on the top prospects available. Gavin McKenna, a left winger from Penn State University, tops the rankings with an NHL ceiling of a star player and an 88% probability of playing 200 NHL games. Following him are Ivar Stenberg from Frolunda HC and Carson Carels from Prince George, both of whom are projected to be top line players.
