Prospects

With over 200 names expected to be called this weekend in Vancouver, it can be a difficult process to start familiarizing yourself with so many prospects but I've compiled some helpful links that should streamline things a little.

For starters, you can check out NHL Central Scouting's final lists below...

North American Skaters  |  North American Goalies

International Skaters  |  International Goalies

That's still a lot to comb through so if you're a little more interested in the top of the Draft, here are some quick rankings by position...

NHL.com Mock Draft

The professional prognosticators over at NHL.com have weighed in with their opinions too and have identified 3 potential prospects that could be available around the Sens' first selection. Here's who they believe could end up being selected by Ottawa at 19th overall...

Adam Kimelman - Victor Soderstrom, D, Brynas (SWE): The right-shot defenseman has a calmness and maturity to his game that has impressed scouts. He skates the puck well, has an emerging offensive game, and his hockey IQ helps him be in the right position defensively to break up plays.

Mike G. Morreale - Ryan Suzuki, C, Barrie (OHL): One of the smartest players in the Ontario Hockey League, Suzuki was named best playmaker in the Eastern Conference Coaches Poll. He has good straightaway speed to break away from defenders and can make quick decisions at top speed. 

Guillaume Lepage - Thomas Harley, D, Mississauga (OHL): The Senators have plenty of good young forwards and have their top defense pair of the future in Erik Brannstrom and Thomas Chabot. The very reliable Harley eventually would fit right in with this young group.
