How to read this board. The window is the seven completed days from Tuesday September 22 through Monday September 28. Last week's board ended on September 21, so the two abut with no gap and no double count. From here the window is always Tuesday through Monday. Membership is Calder eligibility and nothing else: no more than 25 NHL games in any single prior season, not 6 or more in each of any two prior seasons, and under 26. All thirty eligibility checks were re-run against the league's own player records this morning and all thirty hold. Preseason games do not count toward eligibility. All thirty rows held. Every San Jose game in the window was an exhibition, no NCAA school on this board played, and nobody in a league that counts did enough in one game to pass the man above him. Season to date means 2026-27 games that count. The NHL opens October 1, the AHL October 3, and the NCAA had not started by September 28, so most of those lines read 0 GP. That is a fact about the calendar, not about the players.
Three labels on this board mean what they say. NOT ESTABLISHED against a 2026-27 club means no primary this beat can read puts the player on a roster this season. It does not mean he is unattached. HAND-PULLED means a person read that destination off a named page rather than a feed returning it. Every college destination on this board is hand-pulled from the school's own 2026-27 roster page and matches College Hockey News' roster for the same school. Where the window cell says source not read, no source for that league could be opened this week, and that is never evidence that a prospect did not play. A correction to the last two boards. Four prospects were marked NOT ESTABLISHED on September 18 and 22 after every junior roster was read: Haoxi Wang, Teddy Mutryn, Christian Kirsch and Max Heise. All four are in college, at Boston University, Boston College, Quinnipiac and Denver, and the board should have looked there.
Prospect of the week Ivar Stenberg, left wing, first on this board. Three goals and an assist against Anaheim on September 24, one goal on the power play, in a 10-0 win. Two nights earlier against Vegas he led every San Jose forward at 22:17, put four shots on goal, set up Michael Misa's power-play goal and scored San Jose's only shootout goal. That is 3 GP, 3 G, 2 A, 5 P in the window. The qualifier belongs next to it. Anaheim dressed none of Carlsson, Gauthier, Granlund, Killorn, Sennecke or LaCombe that night, and the Vegas lineup on the 22nd had none of Eichel, Marner, Stone, Hertl or Karlsson. When those five did dress, at Vegas on the 26th, Stenberg played 13:37, ninth of San Jose's twelve forwards, with one shot and no point.

What moved, and what did not Nothing moved. Thirty rows held. Five things happened that could have moved someone, and none of them is enough. Stenberg cannot go higher. Eric Pohlkamp played 22:04 against Vegas, second of six San Jose defensemen, and Luca Cagnoni led them at 22:43, but those are exhibition minutes and both men already sit in the top six. Brady Knowling won his first OHL start, 25 saves on 28, which is one game. Alexander Karmanov got his first OHL point and two minors in the same game. Axel Landen held his first-pair job for two more Liiga games, now eight of eight, without a point. A board that reshuffles on one game teaches a reader to ignore it.
Where the roster went San Jose's published NHL roster fell from 42 names last week to 31 this morning. Five board prospects are still on it: Stenberg, Musty, Cagnoni, Lund and Havelid. Four left it for the Barracuda's preseason roster: Pohlkamp, Bystedt, Wetsch and Gasseau. Leo Sahlin Wallenius left it and is on neither, so his club is marked NOT ESTABLISHED this week. He spent 2025-26 on loan to Vaxjo, and the SHL has no feed this desk can read. Thirteen of the thirty are in college, and none of their schools played in the window.
Who is not on this board, and why Ethan Cardwell is off and it is settled. Six NHL games in 2024-25 and seven in 2025-26 is six or more in each of two prior seasons. Igor Chernyshov is off at 28 NHL games in 2025-26, past the 25-game limit. He scored twice against Anaheim on September 24 and it does not change that. Michael Misa is off at 45. Just outside: David Klee (Notre Dame, on its 2026-27 roster, which corrects last week's North Dakota), Michael Fisher (Cornell), Eli Barnett and Yegor Spiridonov.
Compiled from Machine-compiled: the league's own player records for all thirty eligibility checks, ages and 2025-26 lines; the league's schedule, box scores and play-by-play for San Jose's games on September 22, 24 and 26; the league's published San Jose roster this morning; the AHL feed for the Barracuda's preseason roster and its two preseason games on September 25 and 26; the OHL, WHL and QMJHL league feeds, every 2026-27 roster read in full, plus game summaries for Saginaw, North Bay and Portland; and the Finnish league's own game files for TPS. Hand-pulled, and named: every college destination, from each school's own 2026-27 roster page, matched against College Hockey News' roster for the same school. The NCAA calendar is College Hockey News' daily schedule for each of the seven days. It carries six games in the window, on the 25th and 26th, involving Alaska, Alaska-Anchorage and Maryville. Last week's board said the whole of September held two games; the daily pages say six, all in that same two-day stretch. Not read this week: the KHL (its own site answers with a stub page), the MHL (403), the VHL and the SHL. Photographs: the league's own 2026-27 player images, for the fifteen prospects it holds one of. The other fifteen carry initials, because the league returns a grey silhouette for them.
