The Next Wave Episode 11 - Zion Nybeck LW/RW SV71 Ranked 52 on Craig's List Cross Hanas LW Portland ranked 73 on @CraigJButton List @HV71 @pdxwinterhawks

The Stars of tomorrow are discovered here, Every Thursday former NHL GM, Stanley Cup Champion and Director of Scouting with TSN, Craig Button and I explore prospects for the NHL Draft. From Top Shelf Talent to The Next Wave to Time Machine and more.

In The Next Wave on Tracking the Draft, former NHL GM and current Director of Scouting for TSN, Craig Button and Dean Millard discuss players ranked outside of the top 40 on Craig's List, who are projected to go after the first round, where great players, superstars and Hall of Fame players have been taken. Zion Nybeck is a small shifty winger who put up 1.6 points per game in the Swedish J20 league and Craig explained the competition in that junior league as well as what Zion does and what will need to happen to develop. Cross Hanas of the Portland Winterhawks has some flare for creativity but might now have enough finish to be considered a top goal scorer at the next level. He can be an effective forward though, once he starts adding muscle to his good size frame.
