| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
The Saint John Sea Dogs forward was ranked 110th amongst North American skaters in the rankings that were released Tuesday. This is the first time Burbidge has been ranked all season.
The 17-year-old had an impressive rookie season with the Sea Dogs, posting 19 goals and 30 assists in 68 games. He recorded 33 points after the calendar flipped to 2023, playing a key role in getting Saint John into the playoffs.
Burbidge was a second-round pick of Saint John in the 2021 QMJHL Entry Draft. He spent his 16-year-old season playing at the Mount St. Charles prep school in Rhode Island.
Burbidge was one of 31 QMJHL players in the final listing. Sherbrooke's Ethan Gauthier, who has yet to play in the second round of the playoffs due to an injury suffered in practice, was the top ranked Q player at No. 16.
Connor Bedard of the Regina Pats remains the No. 1 ranked skater.
Bradly Nadeau of St-Francois-de-Madawaska, a University of Maine commit who has spent the past couple seasons with the BCHL's Penticton Vees, was ranked 17th.
The full rankings can be found on the NHL website.
The 2023 NHL Draft takes place June 28-29 in Nashville. The NHL Draft Lottery, which could be just as entertaining, takes place May 8.
