The USDP has many prospects ranked in the first round in this years NHL draft, however Alex Turcotte has the potential to be the second USDP player drafted, behind top prospect Jack Hughes. In the recent months Turcotte’s stock has seen a steady increase, being generally projected to be selected between the third and seventh pick.
Now this gives the Vancouver Canucks, who possess the tenth overall pick, a highly unlikely chance to draft him, as like mentioned above, Turcotte may be long gone before they select. Despite this, we should still take a look at what Turcotte could bring to the table as anything could happen on draft day, whether Turcotte surprisingly drops or the Canucks trade up.
