Colborne is the 27th ranked North American skater, while Carle comes in at #60. Factoring in European players and goaltenders, Colborne will be drafted in the first or second round, while Carle could go anywhere from the 2nd-4th rounds.

David Carle - “David’s first two strides get him to top speed and he passes the puck and skates like a pro. He has a very heavy shot from the point and he plays the body hard. He has a strong overall game and physical presence -- he displays all the same signs that his brother, Matt, had at the same age.” - NHL Central Scouting’s Jack Barzee
Joe Colborne - “I think it is going to take Joe a bit of time to develop into the player that he can be because of the league he is playing in is maybe at a lower caliber than the other leagues. He is very rangy with his stick; he dishes the puck well and has really good on-ice awareness. If he can get his skating a little more energetic, he’ll be a big strong player down the middle. When he is at his best he is a strategic player, I wouldn’t classify him as a power-forward, he is very smart and his positioning is very good; he knows where to be and where to go at the right time.” - NHL Central Scouting’s Blair MacDonald
