2016 NHL Draft prospect profiles
-
June 21, 2016
Draft profile: Jake Bean
Jake Bean had a stellar year with the Calgary Hitmen and was the WHL’s top goal-scoring defenceman. He is one of the top prospects eligible this year and should be selected about halfway through the first round.

June 21, 2016
Draft Profile: Sean Day
There isn't a more enigmatic player in the draft class than Sean Day.
-
June 19, 2016
Draft profile: Olli Juolevi
With a combination of high-end skating, smarts, and skill, the puck-moving defenceman would be a welcome addition to the Montreal Canadiens.
-
June 18, 2016
Draft profile: Tyler Benson
One of the top prospects at the beginning of the year, there is a chance that Benson slips out of the first round altogether.
-
June 17, 2016
Draft profile: Vitali Abramov
If you're looking to add some offensive firepower in the draft, look no further than Vitali Abramov.
-
June 17, 2016
Draft Profile: Adam Fox
The lethal, playmaking blue-liner could be one of the best value picks in the draft.
-
June 16, 2016
Draft profile: Kale Clague
After a slow start, Clague was one of the best defencemen on a stacked Brandon Wheat Kings club on its way to a Memorial Cup berth.
-
June 16, 2016
Draft Profile: Logan Brown
The 6'6" centre from the Windsor Spitfires is expected to go in the upper half of the first round this year.

June 15, 2016
Draft Profile: Sam Steel
The young Centre from the Regina Pats in the WHL has a penchant for putting up some pretty nice assists.
-
June 15, 2016
Draft Profile: Mikhail Sergachev
After coming over to the OHL from Russia, Mikhail Sergachev burst onto the scene, and now he's one of the top defenders in the NHL draft.
-
June 14, 2016
Draft Profile: German Rubtsov
The "Russian factor" seems to have had little effect on the rankings of the young centreman, who projects as a mid first-round pick.
-
June 14, 2016
Draft Profile: Kieffer Bellows
With all the tools of an elite sniper, Keiffer Bellows should be long gone when the first round is over this year.
-
June 13, 2016
Draft profile: Boris Katchouk
Soo Greyhounds forward Boris Katchouk went from an unknown to a potential first-round pick this season.
-
June 13, 2016

Jakob Chychrun impressed scouts with his rookie year, but had a bit of a tough time this past year. Is he worth the hype that still surrounds him?
-
June 12, 2016
Draft Profile: Libor Hajek
The Saskatoon Blades had a very rough year in the WHL, but one of their defensemen has earned some attention from scouts all the same.

Draft Profile: Dennis Cholowski
Another prospect from the BCHL, Dennis Cholowski turned some heads this past year in Chilliwack.
-
June 12, 2016
Draft Profile: Alexander Nylander
Hockey runs deep in the Nylander family, and Alexander is no exception, bringing a ton of skill to the table.
-
June 10, 2016
Draft Profile: Samuel Girard
The top scoring QMJHL defenceman in 2015-16 is ranked rather low due to his small stature.
-
June 10, 2016
Draft profile: Logan Stanley
Projected to go relatively early in the draft, Stanley might be one of the most over-rated prospects on the board.
-
June 9, 2016
Draft profile: Pascal Laberge
The question is whether those skills will translate to the NHL level.
-
June 9, 2016
Draft Profile: Patrik Laine
He is expected to go second overall in this year's draft, but Patrik Laine has the tools of a generational talent.
-
June 8, 2016
Draft Profile: Dillon Dubé
An undersized WHL prospect with solid scoring upside... We've definitely heard this story before.
-
June 8, 2016
Draft profile: Rasmus Asplund
Rasmus Asplund is yet another skilled forward who could fall in the draft due to concerns over size.
-
June 7, 2016
Draft profile: Tage Thompson
Freshman Tage Thompson wasn't just good on the power play, he was lethal. His 13 goals on the man advantage led the entire NCAA.
-
June 6, 2016
Draft profile: Riley Tufte
A dominant U.S. High School player, Riley Tufte turned some heads with his size and scoring ability.
