7. Trevor Zegras

DOB: March 20, 2001 (age 18)
Position: C
Shoots: L
Team: USNTDP — USHL
Height: 6-foot
Weight: 168 pounds

Trevor Zegras will almost definitely be selected by a team that is in need of an elite playmaker. Boasting the highest offensive upside of anyone in the 2019 draft class, Zegras demonstrates a penchant for running high-danger power play units on a nightly basis, along with a capacity for creativity that will be in sharp demand at the professional level.

A center who has occasionally played on the wing, Zegras has continuously worked to improve his sense of physicality. Comparisons have been raised between him and none other than Jack Hughes, which is a sure sign of his projected value in the not-so-distant future.
