IS XAVIER VILLENEUVE THE NEXT LANE HUTSON? | 4 QMJHL Prospects Pushing For 2026 Draft 1st Round

The QMJHL is back as an NHL prospect factory, following some dark years with few players of note, we now have four pushing for 1st round consideration in a stacked 2026 draft class. Xavier Villeneuve highlights the bunch, possessing dynamic creativity, quick-twitch wrists, and a game-breaking talent that would be special for a forward, let alone a defenceman. Next, Yegor Shilov could entrench himself as a top-three centre prospect in this class, bringing two-way details, elite IQ, and standout playmaking and physicality. Finally, we round out the show by highlighting the projectable games of big defenceman Charlie Morrison and sparkplug winger Lars Steiner.
