Wyatt Cullen

ANALYSIS
Cullen's growth spurt, both his body and his game, has been nothing short of remarkable. He went from 5-foot-8 and 146 pounds to 6-foot-1 and 180, and his puck skills also shot up. Cullen has great hands, strong hockey IQ and is very creative. He suffered through injuries in 2025-26, mostly because his body was growing so fast. His bloodlines are outstanding -- his dad Matt played more than 1,500 NHL games and won three Stanley Cups. But Matt did it in the bottom six. Wyatt projects as a finesse middle-six winger who spends several seasons on the second line. And he can help on the power play. He needs to develop a bit more grit to truly thrive in the NHL, but that should come. He's one of the youngest guys in this draft class, and his growth is only going to continue.
