Thunder Bay, ON- With the Entry Draft long over and the prospect camps complete for the summer, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves have finalized the 2010 Pre-Season Prospect Rankings.
>>>With 2009 first overall pick, John Tavares and third overall pick Matt Duchene holding down the top-2 seats, the rest of the 59 prospects now have an idea where they stand in the overall picture of the Timberwolves depth pool.
>>>"We hope that this will motivate some of the lower ranked guys to want to move up and be an impact player in Thunder Bay," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "This should be something for everyone of these young men to want to better themselves."
>>>Without further adieu, the rankings...
