NHL Central Scouting's 'Players to Watch' list for the 2022 draft features just four AJHL athletes, including the Oilers' own Rieger Lorenz and Bowden Singleton.

Lorenz has scored 7 goals and 7 in 12 games so far this season.

He's committed to the University of Denver.

The highest-ranked AJHL player on the list, Lorenz has a "B" rating meaning he's expected, at this point, to go in the second or third round of the draft.

Singleton also scored 7 goals and 11 assists in 12 games.

He's rated "C" which means he could go in the fourth or fifth round.

He's headed to the University of North Dakota in 2022.

The NHL draft is set for July of next year.
