Despite a strong push from Halifax Mooseheads forward Nathan MacKinnon, Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks remains as the top prospect in Future Considerations’ Final Ranking for the 2013 NHL Draft.

Jones’ Winterhawks were downed by MacKinnon and the Mooseheads in the Memorial Cup final after the 6-foot, 180-pound forward scored a hat-trick and added two assists, five of his 13 points in just four games at the event.

But it wasn’t enough to unseat Jones, who overtook MacKinnon in Future Considerations’ draft rankings in January after starring for Team USA’s gold medal-winning entry at the World Junior Championship.

Jonathan Drouin, MacKinnon’s teammate in Halifax, and finnish forward Aleksander Barkov of Tappara remain third and fourth respectively.

After a strong showing at the World Under-18, Kontinental Hockey League rookie of the year Valeri Nichushkin jumped into Future Considerations’ top-5 for the first time this season. In the tournament, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound forward had four goals and seven points in six games in the April tournament.
