Barrett Hayton's Player Profile

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - April 30: "He had a plus-24 rating, won 49.9 percent of his face-offs and is used to playing against the opposition's best. He might not be a big scorer in NHL, but he plays a complete game and likely will develop into a valuable top-nine forward."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - April 30: "Hayton (6-1, 190) knows where to locate linemates as a natural playmaking center; he had 60 points (21 goals, 39 assists) in 63 games this season. He has great hockey sense, can play the power play or penalty kill and is projected to transition into a solid two-way NHL center."

Craig Button - TSN - April 28: "A complete centre who plays the game with very good skill and has an outstanding feel and sense for all situations."

Sam Cosentino - SportsNet - April 28: "Continues to improve on a daily basis, he has undercover skill and is world-class when it comes to character. He’s a top-15 pick all day, but is helped by a weaker centre crop."

Steve Kournianos - SportingNews/The Draft Analys - April 28: "Hayton is a heady two-way center that drives opponents batty with his rapid directional changes and ability to thread the needle with his passes. His straight-line speed probably is the one thing preventing him from being talked about as a lock for the top five, but Hayton checks every other block. "

Cam Robinson - DobberProspects - April 26: "Improved speed and strength has been the noteworthy traits in his draft season. Quality release, good vision, quick hands, and can play centre or wing. Is very well regarded in his own end."
