The last two seasons were two of the best rookie classes in some time. The likes of Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, Patrik Laine all entered the league. There's also Jack Eichel, Artemi Panarin, Shayne Gostisbehere, Zach Werenski, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, Matthew Tkachuk, and Sebastian Aho, who have all made their marks on the league.
