International Scouting Services has their draft rankings out - you can buy the Top 50for $50 here - but the Top Ten is available for free and is as follows:
Name Pos Birth Date Ht. Wgt. Team League
1 Dumba, Matt RD 7/25/1994 5.11 165 Bronks AMBHL
2 Rankin, Connor F 11/30/1994 6.00 185 NSWC A1-T1 PCBHL
3 Winther, Mike C 1/9/1994 5.09 155 Airdrie AMBHL

8 Geiger, Trent RW 8/23/1994 5.09 150 Royal Gold AMBHL
9 Pouliot, Derrick D 1/16/1994 5.10 165 Weyburn SSBHL
10 Jones, Seth RD 10/3/1994 6.02 170 Dallas TexB
An interesting list and yet another example of how there's not really a clear cut group in the top five never mind a clear cut number one. No Reinhart in there - could the younger brother of Max fall to the number 13 spot - Kootenay's on April 30in Edmonton? There's also a new name there at the bottom. Seth Jones from, all of places, Dallas Texas.
I'll more on Draft day next week with Kootenay's picks and, with any luck, a couple of locals that should see their name on the list Thursday.
Oh and for those who are still keeping score the Calgary Hitmen pushed their playoff record to 12-0 last night, pushing the Brandon Wheat Kings out of the playoffs in four straight games. And yes, though he was pointless in the series clincher, forward Kris Foucault was named the Eastern Conference Playoff MVP.

Fun tidbit on Seth Jones - he's the son of former Dallas Mavericks NBA player Popeye Jones.
Which explains the Dallas angle....
Cool. Thanks for the tidbit.
