NHL Central Scouting released their 17-18 Preliminary Players to Watch List for next June's NHL draft. Two current Michigan players and four Michigan commits were on the list.

In this initial list from Central Scouting, players were assigned an alphabetic rating from A to C with a rating of A being the highest.

Rated as an A prospect were defenseman Quinn Hughes, a current Wolverine freshman, and defenseman Mattias Samuelsson, an '18 commit.

Rated as a B prospect was defenseman Bode Wilde, an '18 commit. I would have expected Wilde to have been ranked as an A.

Rated as C prospects were '18 commits Philippe Lapointe and Jack Randl, and current Wolerine freshman Michael Pastujov. All three are forwards.

Central Scouting will do two numeric ratings prior to the draft, one likely in January and a final ranking just before the draft.
