2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: Peyton Krebs processes the game faster than his peers

The Kootenay ICE finished last in the overall standings in the WHL in two out of the last four seasons, and did not make the playoffs in any of those years. They spent a lot of that time getting shelled by other much stronger organizations. It wasn’t the best environment to foster the growth of a top prospect, but Peyton Krebs was the flower that emerged out of the barren land to show itself to the world.

With great resilience, an unwavering work ethic, and a burning desire to win despite the circumstances, Krebs lined up at the dot for the opening faceoff every game, ready to compete.
