Who Do You Think Should Be The No. 1 Draft Pick?

Jay Bouwmeester
MEDICINE HAT TIGERS D
In his third full season in the Western Hockey League, the 6'3�" 206-pounder had career highs in assists (49) and points (60). The 18-year-old was ranked first among North American prospects by Central Scouting.

Rick Nash
LONDON KNIGHTS LW
In his second full season in the Ontario Hockey League, the 6'3" 188-pounder had career highs in assists (40) and points (72). The 17-year-old was ranked second among North American prospects by Central Scouting.

THE VERDICT: For all his skills, Bouwmeester couldn't get the Tigers into the playoffs in any of his three seasons. We prefer Nash, who orchestrated the Knights' first-round upset of top-seeded Plymouth last week.
