With the Connor McDavid draft wrapped up, it’s never too early to start looking ahead at the latest crop of prospects, including Arizona product Auston Matthews and the rest of the 2016 draft class.
U.S. talent is one of the main themes of the draft. In addition to Matthews, London Knights forwards Matthew Tkachuk and Max Jones as well as U.S. National Team Development Program defender Chad Krys are among the draft’s top prospects.
Sarnia Sting blueliner Jakob Chychrun is technically another American, as he was born in Florida, but has chosen to represent Canada in international tournaments. He was given the choice because his father, former NHLer Jeff Chychrun, is a Canadian and he moved to Canada prior to joining the Sting.
