## Resource

Caleb Malhotra is poised to be the top center in the 2026 NHL Draft, with scouts raving about his complete game, elite speed, and ability to elevate teammates—despite facing veteran competition. With his dad, Manny Malhotra, now coaching the Canucks (who hold the third pick), the pressure’s on—but Caleb’s rookie OHL record and college commitment to Boston University only add to the hype. He’s not alone: Viggo Bjorck (Sweden), Tynan Lawrence (Boston U), Oliver Suvanto (Finland), and Alexander Command (Sweden) are all rising stars, making this draft’s center class one of the deepest and most exciting in years.
