Scouting read
Hurlbert is a scoring winger. CHL rookie scoring force; shot praised, speed/off-puck concerns remain (Daily Faceoff, Steven Ellis). The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. That still leaves enough skill to picture a top-six or hard middle-six outcome. He is in the first-round mix, with a #10-#30 public range across 14 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 12th among North American skaters. For context, his 97 points in 68 games (1.43 P/GP) rank 15th of 850 among WHL U18 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
