Cooper Simpson, a third-round steal in the 2025 draft, is a dynamic offensive threat with NHL-caliber speed, puck control, and vision—leading 18-year-olds in the USHL with 74 points. Committed to North Dakota for two seasons, he’s projected to turn pro in 2027-28, likely starting in Providence before Boston. But his ceiling hinges on fixing his defensive lapses and inconsistent effort away from the puck—his plus-minus doesn’t reflect his offensive output, hinting at noticeable defensive shortcomings. If he improves, he’s poised to be a top-six scorer, especially on the power play, with the potential to consistently crack 50 points a season.
