Quoting Ron Anyon:

NHL CS do not impress me at all. Every year I shake my head when I see some parts of their rankings.

You are not the 1st person we have heard that from. It's early, their next release is much more complete.

So Mark Visentin is the best OHL goalie this year? That's not who I would have guessed.

Seguin is pretty special. I can see him number one. I thought Owen Sound's guys kinda got the shaft. No Hishon and then Shipley at 19th. He's a lot better than many of the guys in front of him.

NHL Central Scouting's first list is always lame. They get tons of guys wrong, either too high, too low or not on the list. You can't tell me that Joey Hishon isn't one of the top 10 OHL prospects for this draft.

For them to not have him anywhere completely destroys the credibility of the list in my opinion. It tells you they need more scouts if they can't tell he's a talent!

NHL Central Scouting also didn't like Ryan O'Reilly, but that hasn't stopped him from making the NHL as an 18 year old.

Wayne Simmonds was not even ranked whatsoever, becomes a 2nd round pick of L.A. and then goes right to the NHL and belongs.

So their track record is pretty spotty.

Agreed on the Hishon thing. He's a high level talent and okay he's been hurt, but they had two whole years to watch him. No offence to Justin Shugg. He's a good player, but he's 11th and Hishon is nowhere? That makes no sense at all. I would draft Hishon before Shugg.
