Top prospects

Jack Hughes - Center, U.S. National Under-18 team

Hughes has elite short-area quickness, hands softer than butter, and a sky-high hockey IQ. He'll be a dynamic, playmaking offensive threat the minute he steps on the ice for his first NHL game, and has the potential to become a franchise player. Don't be fooled by his small stature.

Kaapo Kakko - Right Wing, TPS Liiga (Finland)

With such an impressive resume, Kakko predictably enters the draft as the top-ranked European skater, and he's expected to make the jump to the NHL immediately. Kakko is naturally gifted offensively, possesses a hard and accurate shot, and has showcased plenty of creativity to manufacture plays for his linemates.

Bowen Byram - Defenseman, Vancouver Giants

Byram is the consensus best defensive prospect in the draft and is projected by many to be a top-five pick. The blue-liner racked up more than a point per game in the regular season and led the WHL with 26 points in 22 playoff contests during his second full season with the Giants.

Kirby Dach - Center, Saskatoon Blades

Dach enters the draft as the third-ranked North American skater, and he has all the tools to become a prominent NHL center. He likely won't jump straight to the big leagues out of junior, but Dach immediately upgrades any team's prospect pool.

Alex Turcotte - Center, U.S. National Under 18 team

Turcotte is the fourth-ranked North American skater in the draft and projected to be taken in the top 10. The tenacious, two-way center plays the game at a high speed and possesses a strong hockey IQ. His elite skill set combined with a tireless work ethic and competitive edge help separate him from the pack.
