Okotoks native Peyton Krebs is expected to go in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft.

The only question now is how early will he hear his name called?

Krebs is ranked 10th on the Central Scouting's Top North American Skaters list.

As a center and captain of the Kootenay Ice, Krebs put up 68 points in 64 games in his draft year.

The 18 year-old is currently in Sweden, representing Team Canada in the 2019 U18 World Hockey Championships.

Krebs was named captain of Team Canada last week. He put up two assists in a pre-tournament game last night.
