Two of the Rockets top skaters have caught the eyes of NHL scouts early on in the WHL season.
Forward Andrew Cristall and defenceman Caden Price are on NHL Central Scouting鈥檚 preliminary players to watch list with 鈥楤鈥� rankings.
Cristall is currently second on the team in scoring with seven goals and eight assists (15 points) and leads the team with 41 shots in 10 games. Price leads Rockets defencemen with eight points (one goal, seven assists) through 10 games.
The list is made up of NHL draft-eligible prospects from all the major development leagues throughout North America and Europe. It is updated throughout the season.
According to this first list, players with 鈥楢鈥� rankings are potential first round pick, 鈥楤鈥� rankings are second and third round choices, and 鈥楥鈥� is considered to be picked in rounds four through six. Other prospect lists have ranked Cristall and Price as low-first round picks.
