Rogers' Kurtz NHL Draft Gem with Pro Frame

Jayden Kurtz towers at 6-foot-3 with the skating chops that make NHL scouts drool, ranking No. 77 on Central Scouting's midterm list while dominating high school ice in Minnesota. This right-shot blueliner leads Rogers defenders in scoring and just impressed the Chicago Steel in USHL stints, blending elite puck movement with shutdown grit. Front offices whisper his name as the prototype D-man, but he eyes a state title run before boosting that draft stock further.
