Red Wings Draft High-Scoring Prospect
Description
The Detroit Red Wings just pulled off a savvy move, snagging top forward J.P. Hurlbert with the 23rd overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft — they traded goaltender Sebastian Cossa to Utah to make it happen. Hurlbert’s been lighting up the WHL, leading Kamloops in goals, assists, and points while winning Rookie of the Year with 97 points in just 60 games. He’s also a special teams beast. Before his WHL breakout, he was a standout in the US National Team Development Program and played for Team USA in the USHL and at the World U17 Challenge. Now he’s headed to Michigan for college hockey, where he’ll continue developing before potentially suiting up for Detroit — a young scorer with serious upside.
