NHL Ceiling: Top-six center
Each and every year at the National Hockey League Entry Draft, there seems to be one player that has Draft experts divided in their assessments of their NHL potential. Often times, these players can possess the most pure, raw talent in the field, but their commitment level and determination are reasons for concern.
We’ve seen a few of those players ourselves here for the Dallas Stars: Brandon Wheat Kings center Scott Glennie in 2009, or Chelyabinsk Traktor forward Valeri Nichushkin in 2013 falls under that category.
