Getting tired of trying to wade through all the different NHL draft rankings and mock drafts floating around out there?... alright, maybe you're into that sorta stuff, but wouldn't you just like to have one ranking that takes them all into account? We take all the major rankings, a few mock drafts and use some Reaganomics & the Colonel's Secret Recipe to come up with the FHS 2009 Consolidated NHL Draft Rankings:

Rank	Player	Notes
1	J.Tavares	#1 in every ranking we considered
2	V.Hedman	Dropped to #3 in a few rankings
3	M.Duchene	No lower than 3rd in all rankings
4	E.Kane	Consensus top 5 pick
5	M.Paajarvi-Svensson	Ranked anywhere from 4 to 7
6	B.Schenn	6th in rankings but talk is that he'll go in the top 5
7	J.Cowen	THN has him 4th but CS has him as 9th best in NA
8	J.Schroeder	Another one with a wide range of opinions
9	O.Ekman-Larsson	Goes higher in the mocks but not in most top 10 rankings
10	D.Kulikov	Only Russian in top 30
11	N.Kadri	Anywhere from 8th to low 20s
12	S.Glennie	Consensus top 20 pick

14	J.Moore	CS has him as 6th best in NA
15	R.Ellis	CS has him as 16th best in NA
16	S.Despres	Top 10 for some, ISS has him at 30
17	Z.Kassian	Consensus top 20 pick
18	D.Rundblad	Wide range, THN has him in top 10
19	P.Holland	Did not impress at the scouting combine
20	L.Leblanc	Ranked as high as 12th by ISS
21	L.Ferraro	Would have been higher if not for THN ranking him 28th
22	C.Ashton	Could go anywhere from top 20 to 2nd round
23	C.Kreider	Climbing in a lot of people's eyes
24	K.Palmieri	Very impressive at scouting combine
25	D.Shore	Borderline 1st rounder
26	N.Leddy	Looks to be in 20 to 30 range
27	S.Elliott	No higher than 23rd in any ranking
28	C.de Haan	Could miss out as 1st round is heavy with O-minded dmen
29	J.Morin	Could go anywhere from low 20s to mid-2nd round
30	J.Caron	The epitome of borderline 1st rounder
