NHL central scouting final rankings coming out today:

No surprise for Euro Skaters it is 1. Matthews 2. Laine 3. Puljujarvi

Quote:
Stubb said there isn't much separating the top three international skaters.

"Any one of these three could go first," Stubb said. "Depending on if a team needs a complete center [Matthews], an excellent, hard-working forward [Puljujarvi] or a sniper who is also a playmaker [Laine]."

Looks like NA skaters are ranked:

1. Dubois
2. Tkachuk
3. Nylander
4. Chychrun
5. Juolevi

Quote:
Dubois, a 6-foot-2, 202-pound forward, is versatile enough to play all three forward spots but appears most comfortable at center. He was third in the QMJHL with 99 points, fifth with 42 goals and sixth with 57 assists in 62 games. He also won 50.4 percent of his faceoffs.

"If you need someone to check the other team's top line and be a shut-down forward, he's a guy who can do that," NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr said. "If you need someone to generate scoring opportunities, he has the skill, speed and hands to do that too. He's a very all-around player."

Dubois is the first QMJHL player since Sidney Crosby of Rimouski in 2005 to be No. 1 on Central Scouting's final ranking of North American skaters.
