NHL 27 Face Scan Priority List. Tiers.

Great feedback, seriously appreciate it.
Definitely agree on a bunch of these and I will update the list.

As a Sabres fan I am really hoping for Quinn (long overdue), Doan, Ostlund, and Krebs to all make it in.
Huge Kulich fan too. After his rookie year, if he hit 20 goals I honestly think he gets a scan. Brutal timing with the blood clots, and I agree with you, without a rookie showcase scan he is probably one of those guys EA overlooks until he forces it statistically.

You are spot on with Logan Stanley as well. The 84 rating plus the trade to Buffalo feels like exactly the type of situation where EA gives a guy a bump. They definitely lean into trades and exposure.
Cannot believe I missed Sam Rinzel either, good call there.

I will take a deeper look at Greene, Kaiser, Del Mastro, Lardis, and the rest from Chicago too. That is a team where they might sneak a couple guys in just based on future importance.

Same with the Colorado group you mentioned. Blankenburg and Kiviranta especially fall into that “real NHL role but easy to overlook” category, which is exactly what this list is trying to highlight.

I did a ton of digging into trends like rookie showcase scans, NHL usage, trades, and team visibility to build this, and originally had way more names. Tried to narrow it down to who I actually think EA will put in, not just who deserves it.
Appreciate you adding to it, this is exactly the kind of input that helps refine the list.
