TORONTO -- It's early Saturday morning and the men of NHL Central Scouting have returned to the board room at the League office in Toronto to continue ranking the top prospects for the 2013 NHL Draft.
 
The scouts will begin the process of ranking all the players after careful discussion and healthy debate Friday that established the six league lists in North America.
 
As promised, here are the top 10 skaters Central Scouting ranked in each league. In order to maintain some level of confidentiality, the players are listed in alphabetical order rather than numeric.
 
Keep in mind, this is the closest thing you'll get to a finalized list until the actual release of the 'Big Chart' later this month. The numeral in parenthesis beside each league represents the number of potential first-round picks within that league's top 10.
