Draft List Features Players, Recruits
More than half of all teams have a player on NHL Central Scouting’s November watch list.
Dozens of current and future NCAA college hockey players are among those listed on NHL Central Scouting’s November 2014 players to watch list for the 2014 NHL Draft, released Thursday.
Thirty schools have at least one player or recruit included on the list, led by Notre Dame (7), North Dakota (6) and Boston College (6). In addition, 39 NCAA-eligible players who have yet to commit to a school are included on the list.
Two college freshmen who were not on Central Scouting’s preseason list have earned a spot with their early season play: Boston College’s Scott Savage and Minnesota’s Vinni Lettieri.
Players are broken into three groups in the list: A (first-round candidate), B (second- or third-round candidate) and C (fourth through sixth-round candidates).
