Sekeres & Price Show · Steven Ellis: Who's hot in the 2027 NHL Draft (and beyond!) · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

I think there's just always a bit of hesitancy to take some of these massive forwards, kind of like with Privolov.

Like, would you rather take the more midsize skilled defenseman who could shoot like the, like laser beams all game long, or do you get a guy like Alexey Joseph, who, you know,

probably isn't going to win a boatload of, of puck races, but he's got that size and he's got a good shot.

So I've, I think this is a really strong top three.

I think this is maybe a stronger top three now than last year's top three was.

And I hate doing that comparison because it's always so easy to overhype the next projecting hard on a hundred percent.

Uh, but I feel like there's something where like, there's actually a lot of bigger forwards, but also a lot of skilled guys kind of making up a really diverse top 10.

Yeah, so Skortsov, I believe that's how you pronounce him.

Like watching him play at the Russian junior level, outstanding numbers, you know, 43 points, 52 games is actually quite difficult to achieve at a younger age.

And watching him go out there and use his skating, he's probably one of the better skaters I've seen from this draft class.

So he's one where I feel like he's going to be a top six forward.

I think he's almost, I don't want to say he's kind of like,

Maybe he's the closest in this draft class to like a Stenberg from this past draft class in terms of like the skill level.

I'm not saying he's going to go out there and put up like insane numbers against pro level players because we know KHL teams really struggle to use these young guys.

But at his own age group, he's been very dominant for a while and I like him.

And then Carter Mayer is very interesting.

He actually got called up to the U18 U.S.

National Team Development Program from the U17 team.

He was fantastic.

very, very good at the U 17 level, but also outstanding at the U 18 level.
