Comments:

1. Lots of European players who will be included in my own personal final rankings, were listed as part of the European rankings by Central Scouting due to spending the season there. That includes the likes of Daniil Chayka (#5 Euro), Artyom Grushnikov (#24 Euro), and Daniil Sobolev (#32 Euro).

2. The two guys not listed that you will definitely see in my own personal final rankings are Maddox Callens and Paul Christopoulos. I don't expect either guy to be high NHL draft picks, but I do believe that both deserve to be listed. Callens stood out for Kingston two years ago the same way Zayde Wisdom did the year prior to his explosion. He's quick. He's a committed two-way forward. He's physical. And I do think he has potential as a goal scorer. Where as Christopoulous has the potential to be one of the better offensive defenders in the OHL by the time he graduates due to his quick feet, big shot, and solid offensive instincts. There is a reason why he was named to the OHL second all rookie team two years ago.

3. My own personal rankings are far from set in stone (really want to see how the Erie showcase looks before I do so). But they are getting there. Certainly to the point where I can tell you some of the players NHL Central Scouting is higher on and some that I am higher on than them. When I say higher, my definition would be that the player is close to ten spots or more higher than I will likely have them (in comparison to their OHL rankings).

Players That I am Higher on Than NHL Central Scouting:
Maddox Callens
Paul Christopoulos
Bryce Montgomery
Ty Voit
Francesco Arcuri
Connor Punnett
Stuart Rolofs
Colby Saganiuk
J.R. Avon

Players That I am Lower on Than NHL Central Scouting:
Ben Roger
Jacob Holmes
Deni Goure
Nick DeGrazia
Artem Guryev
Max McCue
Jacob Frasca
Pasquale Zito
