This week, NHL Central Scouting announced its updated November rankings for the 2019 Draft.
Here is MiHockey’s list of all the Michigan names featured on the latest compilation, using Central Scouting’s breakdown of ‘A, B and C’ players. An ‘A’ ranking indicates a potential first-round draft selection, a ‘B’ ranking indicates second/third-round and a ‘C’ ranking indicates fourth/fifth/sixth-round.
The highlight, of course, is that eight members of the NTDP Under-18 Team appear in the ‘A players’ category. The special group remains undefeated in international play in their 2001 age group halfway through their second year with the Plymouth-based program. In total, 20 members of this year’s Team USA U18 squad appears on the list.
