Handful of Islanders make Central Scouting final rankings



Five Charlottetown Islanders skaters have been listed in Central Scouting's 2015 final rankings among North American Skaters for the upcoming 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

Filip Chlapik, Daniel Sprong, Kameron Kielly, David Henley and Alexandre Goulet have been named on the list which includes 211 skaters.

Chlapik is the highest ranked Islanders skater at No. 18. The 17-year-old Czech native set a new franchise record for most goals (33) and points (75) by a rookie in a single season. Charlottetown drafted the centreman with the 11th overall pick in the 2014 CHL Import Draft.

Sprong comes in two spots behind Chlapik at No. 20 overall. Sprong, who turned 18 last month, lead the Islanders in scoring for the second straight season with 39 goals and 88 points in 68 games.

Chlapik and Sprong are both potential NHL first round draft picks.


Kielly, 18, is ranked 83rd overall. The Charlottetown, P.E.I., native was not draft eligible last year due to his December '96 birthday. In 67 games, the six-foot-one, 182-pound centreman scored 16 goals and 49 points.

Coming in at the No. 95 spot is Henley. The six-foot-four, 203-pound native of Val-d'Or, Que., scored two goals and six points in 64 games this season with the Islanders.

Finally, Goulet is ranked at No. 166. Goulet was passed over at last year's NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia, Pa., but earned himself an invitation to Montreal Canadiens' rookie camp. Goulet, who just turned 19 on Sunday, scored 35 goals and 61 ponits in 65 this season.

Connor McDavid of the OHL's Erie Otters is ranked No. 1 overall.

The 2015 NHL Entry Draft takes place June 26-27 in Sunrise, Fla.
