The more I read about Peyton Krebs the more I like his drive/energy/skillset/leadership.
A good read:

Krebs has horrible linemates but is still producing ppg on par with Cozens + Dach who have a way better team.
KREBS coach, James Patrick, figures the star centre of the Western Hockey League’s Kootenay Ice best resembles an 18-year-old Jonathan Toews.
It’s high praise, but Patrick, who had a 21-year playing career in the NHL, is careful to put the comparison in context. To do that, he recalled a conversation he had with Patrick Sharp after the all-star winger was traded in 2015 from the Chicago Blackhawks to Dallas, where Patrick was an assistant coach with the Stars.
“(Toews) isn’t faster, he’s not stronger or have a better shot, but he’s a better player than me because the second he wakes up, if it’s seven in the morning and we’re playing Pittsburgh, all he’s thinking is how can he be better than Sidney Crosby, and he will do anything to make himself better,” Sharp told Patrick.
And he's not some crazy party guy.
“You can tell Peyton is a leader on and off the ice," said Jeff Coolbaugh, Krebs' English Teacher. "His focus, dedication and attitude have all contributed to his outstanding achievement as well as being a positive role model for our school."
Krebs takes creative lines to dangerous areas of the ice.
He’s the type of player that sees plays develop before those around him and uses that to exploit the opposition.
He’s a playmaker who can impact the game on any shift.
He’s also capable of playing all three forward positions but likely ends up on the wing in the NHL.

He played great at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup and played great on Team Cherry at the Top Prospects game.
I bet he'd play awesome with Petey due to his high skill set, leadership and strong two-way game, probably be a Travis Green fave in no time.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
