At least one European player has landed in the top five of the NHL draft in each of the past four years.
German forward Tim Stutzle is expected to continue that run, as most experts believe he could be the second or third player off the board. He is the top-rated European skater on the final prospect rankings put out by NHL Central Scouting.
Swedish right winger Alexander Holtz and Finnish center Anton Lundell sit directly beneath Stutzle on the list, but neither is expected to land as high as the German among a talented crop of Canadian and American skaters.
