Ben Macbeath 2026 NHL Draft profile.

Scouting read
Macbeath is a big two-way defenseman. WHL rookie blend of size, skill and mobility (Daily Faceoff, Steven Ellis). The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. The bet is a useful NHL defender if the puck play keeps moving forward. He is more of a second-round conversation, with a #22-#46 public range across 4 tracked lists. For context, his 51 points in 67 games (0.76 P/GP) rank 227th of 850 among WHL U18 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
