Jack Hextall 2026 NHL Draft profile.

Scouting read
Hextall is a scoring center. Dynamic skill, endless motor, likely support-player projection (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. That still leaves enough skill to picture a top-six or hard middle-six outcome. He is in the first-round mix, with a #18-#32 public range across 7 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 34th among North American skaters. For context, his 58 points in 59 games (0.98 P/GP) rank 45th of 350 among USHL U18 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
