With only days remaining until the 2017 NHL Entry Draft kicks off in Chicago, IL, it's time to release @RossyYoungblood's rankings.
At the top of the draft, it's extremely tight between Halifax Mooseheads star pivot Nico Hischier and Brandon pivot Nolan Patrick. At the end of the day, Hischier was rewarded with top spot simply based on his style of play - one that I favour due to his dynamic attacking abilities. Regardless of which prospect goes first, New Jersey and Philadelphia will walk away with two excellent players to build around and neither team could go wrong selecting either one.
In the third part of our "Ones to Watch" series, Andrew Sykes breaks down players from North Bay, Oshawa, Ottawa, Owen Sound and Peterborough. Be sure to check back at the previous two releases.
