Drafted #7 · SEA
Chase Reid 2026 NHL Draft profile.
Chase Reid was drafted No. 7 (Round 1) by the Seattle Kraken in the 2026 NHL Draft, a D from USA currently with Michigan State Univ., NCAA. He was the consensus #3 prospect pre-draft. The static profile shows consensus rank, public source spread, latest season context, NHL Central Scouting status, and combine/event badges from existing local JSON only.
Scouting read
Reid is a big offensive defenseman. Most scouts viewed him as first defenseman off the board (Daily Faceoff, Steven Ellis). He also drew a 2026 NHL Combine invite. The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. If the reads keep coming, the upside is a top-pair or high-end top-four defender. He is being treated like a premium pick, with a #2-#10 public range across 17 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 2nd among North American skaters. For context, he ranks 24th of 624 among OHL U19 defense since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
