29. Trevor Zegras

Trevor Zegras starred in the United States Junior Hockey League, so much so that he was a top ten pick in the 2019 Draft.  Rather than join the team that drafted him, Anaheim, the Center honored a commitment to Boston University, where, as a freshman, he was the third highest scorer in the NCAA.  Zegras joined Anaheim the following year, playing part of the season in the AHL. Still, they kept his rookie eligibility going into 2021/22, scoring 61 Points, making the All-Rookie Team, and being the Calder Trophy runner-up to Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprisov.

In 2022-23, Zegras scored 65 Points and appeared to be a potential perennial All-Star. However, last season saw him play in only 31 games, scoring 15 Points due to injuries, and in 57 games, he scored only 32 points.  As he is still very young, Zegras can easily bounce back and has a shot to make this list's stratosphere.
