The NHL Draft finished up this past weekend, but this does not mean the scouting for the NHL’s next round of young talent is over. NHL scouts have already been carefully monitoring the crop of prospects for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
the next draft, otherwise known as the “Jack Hughes Draft” will be held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on June 21st and 22nd of next year. Hughes is the special talent in the next pool of eligible players, and is regarded by almost all scouts as a lock for the first overall pick. I know, I know, it’s early, but here is a list of names—in no particular order—to look out for this upcoming hockey season, as they continue to develop in hopes of having their names called next summer.
