The Ontario Hockey League has been one of the premier pipelines for NHL development over the past couple of decades, particularly down the middle of the ice. From Eric Lindros to Joe Thornton, and more recently, Mike Richards, Ryan Getzlaf, and surging second-year center Tyler Seguin, the league has produced countless blue chip NHL centermen.

The top 10 centers from the OHL this year, naturally, feature a lot of offensive potential, but are also well-rounded players that should all likely see time in an NHL uniform in the future.

The New York Islanders have been frequent holders of high draft picks in recent NHL Drafts. But, while the effects on the team's in-season performance resulting from the lofty drafting positions have so far been negligible, there does appear to be some hope on the horizon for the Islanders.

One bright spot is the top player in this next-to-last grouping in HF's ranking of the Top 50 NHL prospects, Ryan Strome. Another prospect that is thought to have a bright future but has struggled under those expectations is the last player in this group, Nino Niederreiter.

For the fourth straight year Hockey's Future has named a Prospect of the Year. For the 2011-12 season the honors go to St. Louis Blues prospect Vladimir Tarasenko.

The second consecutive European to win the award (Swedish defensemen David Rundblad, then an Ottawa prospect, was selected last year), Tarasenko was scoring at a point-per-game pace for Sibir Novokosibirsk in Russia's KHL before a mid-season trade to SKA St. Petersburg and finished the year with a flourish in the playoffs. Tarasenko scored 10 goals with six assists in 15 games as SKA reached the West Conference finals.

The 20-year-old, who captained the gold-medal winning Russian U-20 team at the 2011 WJC tournament in Buffalo, will likely compete for Russia at the 2012 IIHF World Championships later this spring. Read more»
