The International Scouting Service released their latest rankings and there are some interesting difference between their list and the top North American Skaters according to the NHL Central Scouting earlier this month.
One thing that remained unchanged was #1, Ryan Nugent Hopkins was tops on both lists.
With the late season signing of Craig Anderson, the Ottawa Senators have solidified their number one goalie for next season. Having Anderson in the fold long term will make the starting goalie decision much easier for the Sens next head coach.
But for Bryan Murray, one of his off season priorities will be tracking down a guy who can play the role of back up next season.
