2011-12 PRE-SEASON PROSPECT RANKINGS

Brayden Schenn
Thunder Bay, Ont.- For prospects of the Thunder Bay Timberwolves, there is one more opportunity to impress coaches and management next week with the third and final Prospect Camp of the summer before the big one [Training Camp] in mid-September.
>>>But before that, they will see where they rank now in the eyes of the decision-makers.
>>>"We release this list now and publicly, so that we can maybe give a boost to the guys that are deeper on the list to prove us wrong," said Timberwolves general manager Blake Wendt. "It's not meant to crush guys and put them down. We just want to see who wants it the most. From top to bottom, we're looking at everything. Everything is earned here. Will the guys at the top sit back and relax and use this camp as tune up for Training Camp? Will the guys at the bottom just say 'screw it' and pack it in and reflect their ranking? We hope not for either."
