Scouts watching Rockets

Two members of the Kelowna Rockets are on the NHL's radar.

Central Scouting's initial 'Players to Watch' list was released Tuesday and included forward Dillon Dube and defenceman Lucas Johansen.

Both are eligible for the 2016 NHL draft and both were given a B grade.

The grade means they are projected to be selected sometime in the second or third round in June.

Things, however, can change between now and the draft.

The list did not rank players based on the order they may be taken but, instead, provided the letter grades.

An A rating indicates a first-round candidate, B a second or third, C fourth to sixth.

Twenty-four players were given A ratings, including two Western Hockey League skaters, Vancouver forward Tyler Benson and Brandon defenceman Kale Clague.
