From Tampa Bay Lightning top pick Jonathan Drouin to Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Scott Harrington, BTN has teamed up with International Scouting Services to lay out the top 10 NHL-drafted prospects.

The prospects eligible for the list require a birthdate no later than 1993 and can’t have any NHL experience. Therefore, several first-round picks that are still deemed prospects such as the Minnesota Wild’s Matt Dumba, Buffalo Sabres’ Rasmus Ristolainen and Philadelphia Flyers’ Scott Laughton were ineligible for the list for the time they spent in The Show.

Without further ado, here is a look at BTN’s top 10 NHL-drafted prospects courtesy of ISS head scout Ross MacLean.

1. Jonathan Drouin, wing, Tampa Bay Lightning (Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL) – With Martin St. Louis turning 39-years-old this June, Drouin seems poised to become Steven Stamkos’ go-to winger in the near future. He showed last year that the sky is the limit for his potential by tallying 41 goals and 105 points in 49 contests. Moreover, he’s proven this season he can do just fine without Colorado Avalanche top pick Nathan MacKinnon by his side with 24 goals and 84 points in 39 games. All indications are that Drouin will make the jump to the NHL next year as he clearly has nothing left to prove in the junior ranks.

Scout’s take: “Drouin tops this list not only because of his excellent skill set and dynamic explosive offensive ability, but also because of his situation,” says MacLean. “Few prospects fit as well with the current makeup of their organizational talent as Drouin does. He’s an electrifying playmaker who can enhance and amplify the skill sets of those around him. Tampa Bay has stockpiled a strong roster of young players capable of playing a high paced and quick transition style of play. Adding Drouin to the mix makes them one of the most potent young offensive teams in the league."

2. John Gibson, goalie, Anaheim Ducks (Norfolk Admirals, AHL) – The Pittsburgh, PA., native, who was selected 39th overall in 2011 by the Ducks, is regarded as the top goaltender outside of the NHL. He began garnering such high praise while he stood on his head during his two seasons with the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers and led Team USA to gold at the 2013 world junior championship. In his first year in the pros with the Admirals, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound Gibson has reassured the Ducks that he’s the real deal by posting a .923 save percentage and 2.27 average in 35 contests.

Scout's take: "Gibson is a tremendously poised goaltender who looks so comfortable in the net at times that you can tell he knows how frustrating he is to shoot against. Gibson dominates the crease and leaves his teammates with the confidence to be bold because they know he will shut the door if they make a mistake. Gibson’s biggest asset is how well he plays under pressure. It seems as though the bigger the game and the tougher the moment, the more likely he is to shine. His technical skill and athleticism won’t blow anyone away, but his technical understanding and mental makeup make him a star in waiting.”

3. Curtis Lazar, centre, Ottawa Senators (Edmonton Oil Kings, WHL) – The 6-foot, 190-pound power forward has the makings of a potential future captain. Lazar, who was selected 17th overall by the Senators in 2013, seems to have the leadership abilities, heart, character, work ethic and talent to lead an NHL club. In addition, throughout his three seasons in Edmonton, he has taken consistent steps forward in his game. He’s mustered 35 goals and 64 points in 47 games this year following scoring 61 points in 72 last year and 31 points in 63 as a rookie.

Scout’s take: “Lazar is the type of player that turns a mediocre team into a contender. He’s a winner. He’s a very complete 200-foot player with excellent leadership qualities and a warrior’s mentality, Lazar can score, dictate the pace of a game, frustrate opponents and can play in any and all situations. He’s perhaps a surprise to be this high compared to some of the other higher profile names, but Lazar’s development continues to trend upwards and his work ethic continues to open up new levels for his game. He will work his way into any coach he plays for because of his heart and he is the model of how to be a successful player. Expect big things from this young man.”
