FC releases November ranking for NHL Draft

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CALGARY, AB – Connor McDavid of the Erie Otters continues to top Future Considerations’ ranking for the 2015 NHL Draft presented by FASTHockey.

McDavid, who also topped both Future Considerations’ preliminary and October ranking, has started his draft year at an impressive pace. The Richmond Hill, ON native has amassed 16 goals and 51 points in just 18 games. A fractured the fifth metacarpal on his right hand will keep McDavid out 5-to-6 weeks, but it hasn’t put a damper on his stock.

There will be plenty of competition to push that over the course of the next month, though.

Boston University’s Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin of Boston College will put forth their best efforts to improve their status as the second and third ranked prospects for 2015 as will Future Considerations’ top-ranked European skater in Farjestad’s Oliver Kylington. Dylan Strome, McDavid’s teammate in Erie, has also moved into the conversation after an impressive start that has seen him jump into the top-5, too.
