2027 NHL Draft Prospect Report – Jaakko Wycisk (F)

Jaakko Wycisk

#77 -Guelph Storm (OHL)

Canadian -RW/C -6’1 190lbs

Jaakko Wycisk, the “Wizard”, is a unique type of player. He has several impressive traits: IQ, Work Ethic, Physicality. He will not overwhelm with his game; those listed traits, particularly his passing and hockey sense, make him very effective. They allow him to find teammates in the slot or at the net, making passes you wouldn’t expect to reach their target. His hockey sense gets him in the best spots on the ice wherever they are at those moments. Wycisk is more a passer than a shooter, but do not leave him open near the net; he will make you pay. While not overly tall, he uses his entire frame to his advantage, making it extremely difficult for opponents to take the puck once he has hold of it or even in front of the net where he holds his ground.

Wycisk had a fantastic Hlinka Gretzky Cup, being one of the driving forces for Team Canada on their gold medal-winning roster. Capped off by an 8-1 stumping of Team USA in the finals. Wycisk finished with the tournament lead in assists and tied for the lead in points. NHL Comparison: Mark Scheifele, he may not be as offensive or as dynamic as Scheifele; however, he is more of a physical and defensive presence. If he can carry those same skills into the next level, Wycisk will be a coveted asset for whoever drafts him.

Wycisk currently projects as a mid-to-late first-round pick, which is fair in my assessment in my books. No matter the state of the NHL, players with high hockey IQ or strength and physicality will always have a role; players with both are that much more valuable.

Top 20 NHL Draft Rankings

16 – Jaakko Wycisk He is a very intriguing player to watch, can create a highlight reel from nothing, has incredible puck skills, uses his reach to dance by defenders and makes it difficult to read his moves. Often draws a lot of attention to himself, which opens up opportunities for his line mates, and that paired with his elite vision, consistently creates so many scoring chances.

2027 NHL Draft Rankings: DuPont, Neuenschwander, and Privalov Lead Round 1

14 – Jaakko Wycisk (6’1″ | 190lbs | RW/C | Guelph Storm | Canada) An emerging prospect at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, Jaakko Wycisk excelled by collecting 10 points and tying for the tournament lead. He does it all: he’s physical, a strong skater, a capable playmaker, highly competitive, and able to finish when needed. While no single attribute of his jumps off the page, the well-rounded nature of his game makes him a dangerous player and a strong candidate for the first round. He faces a big upcoming season with Guelph, where he’ll look to secure his day-one draft position following a 43-point, 61-game campaign last year.
