Over the weekend, the NHL Central Scouting Mid-Term Rankings for the 2019 NHL Draft were unveiled.
U.S. NTDP U-18 center Jack Hughes was rated as the top North American skater while teammate Spencer Knight (Darien, Conn.) topped the list of North American goaltenders.
In total, 48 players with ties to the New England region — whether it be hailing from here, playing here now, or committed to playing college hockey here — were listed by NHL Central Scouting during the Mid-Term Rankings.
While it is no easy task to rank so many players from across two continents, there were a few players who immediately jumped out as being ranked too high or too low.
