In the scouting world, this year has been dominated by headlines about the Rasmus Dahlins, Andrei Svechnikovs, Filip Zadinas, Adam Boqvists and Brady Tkachuks so much that sometimes you almost lose track of the slew of other impressive prospects that are going to be available in June. I will be the first to admit that even I have been guilty of underrating some prospects, or not giving them the attention that they deserve. Today, I am specifically talking about one such player that should be getting talked more about than he is, Barrett Hayton.
I will admit that Hayton was not on my radar until I watched the Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament last August.
