Draft Profiles 2k26: Ty Lawrence is a 200 foot Center with something to prove
Well, now that we’ve gotten the guy who is probably the consensus #7 pick, give or take a draft ranking or two… …Let’s immediately take a turn left from a perfectly reasonable 7th overall choice in this draft full of solid defenders into GAMBLING!!!!! …On a potentially game-changing Center with a lot of risk, given how his draft year went. Who is he? Tynan Lawrence is a New Brunswick-born Center who is a Left-handed shot. He measures at 6’1, and 185 pounds. He plays for Boston University in the NCAA, but also had a stint in the USHL with the Muskegon Lumberjacks. What’s He Good At? Playmaking through superior intelligence. Tynan Lawrence is a player who thinks the game well above his peers. When he has the puck, Lawrence finds ways to create space through simple, easy adjustments of his position on the ice and his seriously scary ability to see the ice and look for advantages for his team to exploit. Gaps in the defense open when he moves, and he fills that space. When it locks down, he finds a way out of danger. While his hands aren’t going to wow anybody; what makes him so dangerous is that he has already figured out a way to get around you that involves having and also not having the puck. When he’s got the puck, he can blow past you and open up your stick for extra ice with speed, or he can pass it in just such a way to carve through the backcheck in order to facilitate a break. Even with a player almost on top of him, his strength on the puck and his ability to quickly gain body position on backcheckers means that rarely is a play ever going to die when it’s on his stick; he will make sure it gets to the right player to get a scoring chance. Away from it, or if he has to get rid of it, Lawrence seems to understand just the right way to turn what should probably be a dump-in into a pretty damn solid pass, and when he has to go find it, his understanding of where the puck carrier will want to go combined with his speed and determination make him an active misery to play against while on the forecheck, because he is going to break that play up at any cost. Lawrence also uses this for razor sharp passing; forcing the defense to commit time and positioning to keeping him away from their goalie, and usually this is where Lawrence springs his trap. For many prospects, figuring out this part can be the single biggest hurdle to getting their talent to translate to the NHL level, and it looks like Lawrence will not struggle with that if he’s able to do the kinds of things he’s doing in the junior/college levels. It’s why Lawrence does a little bit of everything for Team Canada and when he played in Muskegon; they could trust him to do it and at a level beyond a prospect of his age. What’s He Not So Good At? Picking times to jump up a level. If there’s a concrete issue to Lawrence’s game, it’s that explosiveness for him is not always coming off of the first step of his skate. At speed he’s excellent, but he needs a second or two to get going, and in the NHL that kind of second can easily be exploited. He will need to find a way to get that serious first burst of speed to truly become the game warping talent he’s sometimes been projected as. If he gets that, he’s a certified star. The real issue that has Lawrence bouncing all over the draft board is his timing when it comes to advancing up a level. The USHL level of the game was pretty clearly something that Tynan Lawrence was already above, having a point per game 2024-25 and 18 points in the USHL playoffs…and then he experienced a violent injury that left him out of much of the regular season, which he came back and was just about as productive with a 17 point campaign in 13 games. Then he decided now was as good a time as any to join the Boston University Terriers; a storied program in a fiercely competitive Hockey East Division, which finished with 5 ranked teams in the Top 25 in both the poll and NPI. It was there in his first taste of NCAA action that he struggled a bit to actually show any of that offensive flash, and while I understand the concern…I think it should also be clear that college hockey is kind of hard! He was 17 playing in a league comprised primarily of 19 thru 21 year olds, and the NCAA game is a lot more defensively responsible than the North American junior leagues! The kids playing in the NCHC are gigantic! I think we can at least recognize this was a possibility before deciding to drop him into the middle of the first round. But it is a cause for concern; while he is quite talented and in a full season might’ve been able to find his offense, Lawrence probably should’ve waited until he was 18 to play College Puck, and as a result of his aggressive push to prove himself after a miserable stroke of luck, he put himself in a position to look pedestrian in the most important year of his career to this point. That was a miscalculation that may save him from playing for the league’s dregs…but it might also mean he stays on the board way longer than he should, simply because his gamble didn’t look all that smart with the low, low sample size of 18 games. While none of that is his fault necessarily, he wasn’t at the level yet to actively try and take over that part of the game, and that will cause some scouts concern. Prospect Rankings 7th by NHL Central Scouting (among North American Skaters) 16th by EliteProspects.com 6th by TSN’s Chris Peters 13th by McKeen’s Hockey 6th by FloHockey’s Chris Peters 11th by DailyFaceoff 4th by Smaht Scouting 4th by Dobberprospects 4th by THN’s Tony Ferrari My Verdict As much as I like the idea of 200-foot, 2-way dynamic Centers, I recognize the log-jam at this position in Seattle; whether or not they want it to be seen that way, is not going to be solved by adding yet another one to it. Beniers fits that mold, Wright fits that mold, Chandler Stephenson…should fit that mold at least by reputation, unless you think Lawrence is able or willing to convert to wing, the only thing this is going to do is continue to cram this teams’ depth with roughly the same kind of player that may be great in the middle six, but needs to be transcendent to be a top line player. Lawrence however has a lot of what the Kraken ideally want to be (or wanted to be) in his game; smart, motivated, ferocious on the puck, and with a natural predilection towards attacking the middle of the ice. If he is available, then there is plenty of evidence to suggest that it would be a bad idea to pass him up. After all, do you dare take a chance?
