3 Tigers Named in NHL Mid-Term Rankings

North American Skaters


144
BRADLEY, MATTHEW
MEDICINE HAT

HUNT, DRYDEN
REGINA
C/LW
6' 0.0"
199


Goaltenders
8
SCHNEIDER, NICK
MEDICINE HAT
R
6' 1.75"

In the November Rankings both prospects were listed as "C" prospects. Schneider is the highest ranking whl goalie.  (I believe only 6  CHL goalies were taken in the last draft)

Interestingly enough Dryden Hunt was 144th overall last year. He wasn't selected in the draft but did get called for camp with carolina.

I thought Ty Schultz might have had a chance at this list, but I felt his play wasn't as strong as it was during the first handful of games when the players were still sorting themselves out. Hopefully he comes out with a strong 2nd half and garners consideration.

Former Tiger Connor Hobbs is listed in the 100 spot.

Edit: Initially missed Hobbs as he was on the list as a member of Regina. This is his 2nd go-round.

Surprised that Schultz is not listed. He shows a lot of talent and maturity out there. Hope he is able to crack the list!

I like Schultz over Hobbs, so shocked to see he is not on the list. Not as physical as Hobbs but I think a more skilled and smart player. Hope he finds his way into the rankings.
