2022 T25U25 Week Two Summary

We revealed six more names on the Maple Leafs Top 25 Under 25 this week, here they are:

#19 Filip Kral moved up a few places from last year.

#18Victor Mete makes a contested entry on the list.

#17 Mikko Kokkonen rounded out a trio of defenders that didn’t really impress anyone.

#16 does not exist this year because there was a tie for #15:

Nicholas Moldenhauer is the new name on the list.

Dmitry Ovchinnikov is last year’s surprise prospect.

#14 Guillaume Villeneuve is the Memorial Cup champion. He jumped on a lot of older defensive prospects.

These six players are in average ratings between 18.22 and 16.89 or 1.33 rating points, so they were all a very tight group, barely ranked higher than Mikhail Abramov. Next week, the official vote jumps to 13.22 for the next entrant, the biggest jump on the list.

Community vote

#19 Mikko Kokkonen

Ranked 17th on the official list, this is very close to agreement between the lists. Kokkonen had an average rating of 19.18.

#18 Semyon Der-Arguchintsev

Ranked 21 in the official vote, this is another pick where we came close to agreeing. The average community ranking was 19.02, putting it just slightly ahead of Kokkonen.

#17 Joe Woll

Marking a dramatic difference in voter rankings, Woll comes in six places above where he was in the official vote. It’s quite common among goalkeepers. His average ranking was 18.86. The fairly high number of votes just at 25 is also a normal thing to do with a goalie prospect.

#16 Ty Sees

Not yet revealed on the official roster, Ty Voit comes in with an 18.48 rating and is the first player to be rated by virtually everyone.

#15 Mikhail Abramov

Abramov is ranked four places higher than on the official list with an average of 18.41, nearly a vote tie with Ty Voit.

#14 Guillaume Villeneuve

We agree on this young defensive perspective. His average ranking here is 17.51, a significant jump from the tight group of five below him. On the official list, his ranking was 16.89, so the two lists are very close now, and both also need big jumps higher in the rankings to reach the top.

Next week, six more names will be revealed and another tie on the official list. You can expect the two lists to become very, very similar by the end, but there’s at least one big difference left to reveal. But first, the community vote takes a tiny step to 13th place, a player already revealed on the official roster.

See you Monday!
