TSN’s Bob McKenzie released his mid-season NHL Draft Rankings for the 2016 Entry Draft and both Dante Fabbro and Tyson Jost are inside his Top 20. Jost is the higher ranked of the two, coming it at 13th overall, whereas Fabbro is slotted in at 17th.
Here’s an excerpt from McKenzie’s story talking about the two Vees’ draft prospects:
“It’s not a great year for The Dub.
The WHL has only only three prospects on TSN’s Mid-Season Top 30. Calgary Hitmen defenceman Jake Bean, with 19 goals, is No. 11 and a legit threat to break into the Top 10.
Kelowna Rocket forward Dillon Dube is No. 24 and Saskatoon Blade Czech defenceman Libor Hajek is No. 27.
This year, the British Columbia Junior League actually has more prominent Canadian draft prospects than the Dub.
Penticton Vees forward Tyson Jost, who has committed to University of North Dakota for next season, is No. 13 and a threat to be taken in the Top 10. Vees teammate, defenceman Dante Fabbro, who is committed to Boston University, is at No. 17.
There are, however, a half dozen WHLers ranked between 31 and 39.
The Quebec League has three prospects in TSN’s Top 30; the OHL has 11.”
