Lottery look: The top 10 prospects for this year’s NHL Entry Draft, which goes June 21-22 at Rogers Arena
They either support and complement each other on or off the ice, or they don’t really mix and just do their own thing.When Quinn assessed the potential of younger brother, Jack, the expected top pick in the 2019 NHL draft in Vancouver on June 21, he not only talked about the player, he talked about the person.
At the world under-18 championship last year, the centre led with 12 points in a dozen games for the United States, was named MVP and to the all-star team. In his first USHL season with the U.S. National Development Team program, he had an eye-popping 54 points in 27 games. This season, he added 48 points in 24 games to cement his stature as a prime pick. He will also represent the U.S. again at the next under-18 world championship starting April 18 in Sweden.
Jack has a willingness to improve in the gym and on the ice that had Quinn, the Canucks’ first-round pick in 2018, searching for superlatives to describe his younger brother. “His work ethic is second to none and I credit a lot of my success to him and I’m sure he’ll do the same,” said Quinn. “Obviously, you see on the ice how good he is. But off the ice, he does everything that it takes. He just loves the game. He gets his sleep. He eats the right way and does everything away from the game that allows him to be special on the ice.”
Here’s a capsule look at top 10 prospects for the NHL Entry Draft at Rogers Arena on June 21-22:1. JACK HUGHES The skinny: It’s hard to find franchise centres and one who has improved skating and strength as much as Hughes. And like his older brother, an ability to maneuver through the neutral zone and be one step ahead of the play — often doing something spectacular like Patrick Kane to set up a linemate or get to the net — sets him apart.
