TSN's rankings came out today.

http://tinyurl.com/6bkmrm

NHL's Central Scouting is here
http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=21732
and here
http://www.nhl.com/futures/2008/euro_1-30.html

TSN slotted Filatov in at 5th. The Leafs' pick 7th names Mikkel
Boedker (smallish speedy LW sniper). Leafs might be smarter, if it
goes the TSN way, to select Colin Wilson (biggish, strongesh, Ctr).

Go deeper there Owl....
The kid below has proven ability to put the puck in the net, well at
least at OHL level, only thing is at 5-11, he is not smallish lol, and
not a giant either.

I like the looks of this guy:

9. CODY HODGSON
From TSN: One scout dubs the Brampton Battalion forward as the sleeper
of this year's draft, a complete package forward who maybe isn't as
big or as fast or as purely skilled as some, but one who puts all
elements of his game together as well as just about anybody in this
draft class. "He's really not that far off Stamkos," the scout said.
The folks at Hockey Canada would concur. Hodgson was the best Canadian
at the recent Under-18 world tourney and displayed terrific leadership
and character, plus an ability to score big goals and be the team's
defensive conscience up front. He might be hurt by the tag of being an
average skater and sub-six feet tall, but some scouts figure he has a
lot of Chris Drury in him.

From NHL Central Scouting: He is a very skilled centerman who's hockey
sense has him quarterbacking the power-play from down at the half
boards. He knows when to shoot and when to pass – his point total
reflects that. He's also a good face-off guy; he can take face-offs
with the best of them and win them at the OHL level.

Year Team GP G A Pts Pim
2007-2008 Brampton (OHL) 68 40 45 85 36

Not sure how that scout tagged him a sleeper - every list has him
steady at the 8 or 9 spot. Could be him or Filatov when 7th rolls
around, eh?
