NHL Central Scouting has released their mid-season rankings and the Wheat Kings' Mark Stone is ranked 53rd amongst North American skaters. When Europeans are mixed in, that likely puts him in 3rd-4th round territory which IMO would be quite the steal for some NHL team.  
 
Stone is the 11th WHLer on the list. 11th was where they had him in the WHL in their November rankings... at the time he was just coming off of the injury.  
 
Brandon-born Wheat King rookie Michael Ferland is ranked 188th in North America (41st in WHL). Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is Ferland's first time being ranked in any way.... great to see him starting to get noticed.

Both should have a chance to improve their stock over the new few months with the extra exposure that'll come with being a Mem Cup team.

Also of note, former Wheat King Jordan Depape did not make the 210 player list.... although with all of the ice time available in Kamloops you'd have to think he has a good shot at improving his stock over the next two months.

Here's the full North American listing:
