In order to find out who could be the next stars in the NHL, we unveil NHL.com's Top 60 Prospect Rankings.
The list is a composite drawn from three NHL.com staff writers, Adam Kimelman, Mike Morreale and Corey Masisak, as well as three anonymous NHL scouts.
The only rule the voters were given was that players have to enter the 2014-15 season with Calder Trophy eligibility.
First-place votes on the list were valued at 60 points, second-place votes at 59 points, and it continued down through the No. 60 player on each list receiving one point.
Ties were broken based on which player appeared on more ballots. The second tiebreaker was the player with the highest individual ballot placing.
