According to Hockey's Future to no one's surprise. Scott Glennie has taken over as the Dallas Stars #1 prospect as many expect for him to play his final year of Junior Eligibility next season after having a great season which included getting to play the Memorial Cup at home.

Others in the top 5 include Danish Defensemen Philipp Larsen and Alex Chiasson who's plays for Boston University after a solid career for the Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL).

3 of the biggest movers include Texas Native who moved up 5 spots from 16 to 11, Texas Stars Forward Perttu Lindgren who had a great year for the Texas as he's hoping to help bring the team the AHL Calder Cup Title. Also Tomas Vincour who's shinning despite playing for a bad Edmonton Oil Kings Team in the WHL the last 2 seasons before getting traded to the Vancouver Giants.

As for the player that fell the most, Raymond Sawada fell from 10 to 15 as he's falling on the Texas Stars Depth Chart. Despite being called up for 5 games, he produced very little to the Dallas Stars this season when he had the chance
