The\u00a02026 NHL Draft<\/a> brings together the next generation of hockey stars as all 32 franchises look to shape their futures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From elite prospects expected to go in the first round to under-the-radar talents with breakout potential, the draft is one of the league’s most exciting offseason events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Follow every selection, trade, and surprise as teams build for tomorrow and young players take the first step toward realizing their NHL dreams on hockey’s biggest stage.<\/p>\n

Here’s FloHockey’s Chris Peters’ analysis on the Nashville Predators taking Wyatt Cullen with the No. 10 overall pick.<\/p>\n

No. 10 Nashville Predators Select Wyatt Cullen, LW, U.S. National Under-18 TeamScouting Report<\/p>\n

One of the fastest-rising prospects in this draft, Cullen is among the most fascinating prospects this year. He has been on a rapid physical growth trajectory, growing about half a foot since entering the NTDP. What I like most is that he was super skilled as a smaller player and hasn\u2019t lost that as he grew into a 6-foot-1 winger who may not be done growing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a draft that lacks high-end skill at a lot of positions, Cullen may have one of the best projectable profiles in terms of pure point production this side of McKenna and Stenberg. The thing about Cullen is that there\u2019s a ton of projecting to do with him, which means there\u2019s also a lot of risk. His numbers weren\u2019t eye-popping this year, but the totality of evidence including the lack of team strength at the NTDP this year, Cullen is still projected as a top-six level producer.<\/p>\n
