Canada
Michael Benning
A shifty defender out of the AJHL, Benning is a prototypical modern-day blueliner. He has the ability to skate, make a good first pass and create in transition.
Josh Davies
A hard-hitting pest who racks up penalty minutes and adds a scoring touch. Think Cal Clutterbuck with less discipline and a bit more skill.
Sam Dickinson
Dickinson is a highly-effective defender, and stands out amongst his peers for his aggressiveness, defensive intelligence, and physicality.
Carter King
A depth center that lacks size but has good foot speed. Can contribute offensively to both the power play and in shorthanded situations.
Justin Kipkie
Offensive defenseman with a booming shot. Play in his own zone needs improvement.
Henry Mews
Fluid puck-moving defenceman who plays a safe style. More dare in his game and work on defensive aggression could unlock second-pair potential.
Blake Smith
A big, rugged, smooth-skating defenseman who can fight and hit.
Thomas Milic
A quick, athletic goaltender who reads play with ease. Plays a calm, clean, technical game with aggressive positioning and good footwork, making up for the lack of size. A long-term project that competes hard and thrives under pressure.
Matthew Murray
Dependable minor league goalie with NHL backup upside. Strong positional awareness, and thrives in quick lateral movement. Lacks the creativity and dynamism of a true NHL superstar.
Dalton Bancroft
A potential fourth-line power forward who likes to throw the body around and is hard to play against.
