Craig's List
TSN Scout Craig Button produces rankings (October through June) this season featuring the top players eligible for the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Craig's rankings represent his individual assessment of where players are slotted in the NHL draft. They will be posted in addition to Bob McKenzie's consensus NHL rankings, which is compiled four times a year. Bob's rankings represent the consensus NHL team view of where players are slotted in the NHL draft.
You can follow Craig on Twitter at @CraigJButton and Bob at @TSNBobMcKenzie.

Goaltending statistics are as follows: games, wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts. The shot header applies to the goaltender's glove hand.
Note: The 'Last' column represents their Craig's List ranking from the previous month. The dash ( - ) indicates that the player was not ranked in Craig Button's Top 60 list last month.
