6. Detroit Red Wings — Trevor Zegras

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

Trevor Zegras falling to sixth overall would epitomize the degree to which the draft at hand is fundamentally depth-ridden. With the top offensive upside of any player in the 2019 class, the 18-year-old center boasts immense creativity, as well as a capacity to quarterback expansive power plays.

The Detroit Red Wings should be all-in on the Zegras front, as he has been compared at times to Jack Hughes. Add the fact that the has also spent time on the wing, and yet another reality becomes apparent: all signs point to Zegras becoming a star at the professional level.
