The NHL has the most talent in the history of the league right now. Pretty much every team has at least one star player that is worth watching on any given night.

If they don’t, they have a loaded prospect farm that will get them back on the map again soon. There are plenty of teams who are awesome and have a great prospect farm too, which is how you have sustained success in this league.

The NCAA’s Frozen Four took place over the weekend, and it was incredible. Quinnipiac faced off against Minnesota after big wins in the semi-final over Michigan and Boston University respectively.

Quinnipiac defeated Minnesota in overtime of the championship game. It was truly incredible to watch as they tied the game late with the goalie pulled. It was the definition of a “never give up” attitude, and they deserved to win.

The NHL is loaded with talent and it is only going to be getting better.

Now that the tournament is over, there are players that are starting to sign with the NHL teams that drafted them, which is ending their tenures with their universities. We’ve seen the impact that a guy like Devon Levi has already made, so who is next to follow suit?

Players are going to keep signing as the week goes on now that the tournament is over. However, we have a pretty good idea of who is going to make the biggest impact once they reach NHL ice.

These are the three Frozen Four participants that will immediately make a positive impact in the National Hockey League:
