The Swift Current Broncos could be headed to an unprecedented run of first round draft picks.

After Julius Honka and Jake DeBrusk were selected in the first round of the two most recent NHL drafts, NHL Central Scouting's watch list has Broncos defenceman Max Lajoie poised to follow in their footsteps.

Central Scouting ranks Lajoie as an "A" level prospect which indicates a candidate for the first round of the 2016 NHL Draft.

Lajoie had 41 points as a rookie last season and is poised to play a significant role for the Broncos in every situation.

He is Swift Current's only player on the rankings so far.

The Broncos are in Red Deer on Friday.
