For a time, it looked like Fowler might have the chance to overtake Taylor Hall and/or Tyler Seguin. Instead, Central Scouting dropped him a bit (to fifth), and it doesn't appear he will go higher than third in the draft.

About the only flaw in his game is that the physical side hasn't come along like many figured it would. That doesn't mean Fowler is a soft player, but a guy of his size is expected to assert himself more in the hitting game than Fowler has at times.

Where Fowler excels is with the puck. He has a good shot, and makes great passes. Fowler is at home as quarterback for the power play, but don't mistake him as a purely offensive player.

Fowler is smart, very good positionally, and he rarely puts himself or his team in a bad position. If you want to see what he's capable of on the big stage, watch the Team USA-Team Canada games at the 2010 World Juniors. Fowler saw a lot of ice time against Hall's line, and he did a very good job in both games.

Hall and Seguin might be practically set in stone as the top two picks, but there's no reason the team that picks Fowler won't be just as happy as anyone when it's all said and done.
