Scouting Report
The second-most famous NHL player from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia (after Sidney Crosby), he was picked No. 1 overall in the 2013 draft and continues to live up to that billing. He is the complete package, with the kind of speed that enables him to blow past opposing checkers, a goal-scorer's hands and great passing skills. Injuries have been a problem, but he is among the NHL's elite when he is on the ice.
Long Range Potential: Elite, game-changing center (when healthy).
