Central Scouting Releases Final Rankings
 The
NHL's Central Scouting Service has released its final rankings
of the top players eligible for the 2008 NHL Entry Draft June
20-21 in Ottawa. The rankings list North American and European
players separately, as well as separating goalies from skaters
(forwards and defensemen).
The top-ranked player with college ties is Boston
University forward Colin Wilson at No. 10. Others listed among
the top 30 include Ohio State recruit Zac Dalpe, who plays
for Penticton in the British Columbia Hockey League (16th);
UMass recruit John Carlson, who plays for Indiana in the United
States Hockey League (17th); Wisconsin recruit Jake Gardiner
of Minnetonka (Minn.) H.S. (23rd); Minnesota recruit Aaron
Ness of Roseau (Minn.) H.S. (27th); and Denver recruit Joe
Colborne, who plays for Camrose in the Alberta Junior Hockey
League (28th).
The North American lists rank 210 skaters and
38 goalies, all playing in the U.S. and Canada. In addition
to college players the list features draft-eligible major
junior players, as well as a number of college-bound high
school, prep and junior players
