Matthew Stienburg
Multi-use forward trading points for PIMs in pro after some decent college production
Kieron Walton
A creative, 200-foot power forward with good vision who can stickhandle in tight areas, often finding teammates with ease. Due to his size on the offensive end of the ice, he easily maintains and protects the puck. However, his production and work ethic are inconsistent; more opportunity and experience can help improve this aspect of his game. He has the potential to become a top-six playmaking power forward with special team contributions or, at worst, a reliable bottom-six depth player.
Danny Zhilkin
A good skater who excels in the transition game, moving pucks up ice with his quick feet and shifty hands. Needs to work on his overall hockey IQ, defensive skill, and playmaking. Lacks consistency and high-end skill but has the size and speed to become a dependable bottom-six two-way center with middle-six upside and special teams usage.
Domenic DiVincentiis
An athletic, agile goaltender with good size. Great mobility in the crease with excellent technique. Needs to improve rebound control and ability to fight through traffic.
Jack Finley
A big-framed, smooth-skating centerman who can play a solid role on the defensive side of the game. Finley does have a strong offensive upside as well.
Gabriel Fortier
Two-way forward with good pace and overall offensive skills. Works hard and shows potential to be a top-nine NHL forward.
Jaret Anderson-Dolan
A highly competitive, hard-working center who plays a fast game. Projects as a bottom-six forward with limited offensive upside.
Colby Barlow
A physically mature goal-scoring winger with a lethal one-timer and elite shooting ability. Lacks playmaking skills and needs to work on off-puck positioning to avoid becoming a one-dimensional goal scorer. Proper development could turn one of the best pure shooters of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft into a high-floor/high-ceiling top-six elite goal-scoring power forward with PP1 and PK usage.
Andrew Cristall
Smooth skating and dynamic offensive threat who displays composure with the puck on his stick. He is undersized but possesses high-end hockey IQ in all three zones and has potential as a top-six winger in the NHL.
