Canada
Big, intelligent, offense-minded center. Has an underrated offensive game. Battles hard and is well-positioned off the puck. Has middle-six two-way center potential that can contribute to powerplay and penalty kill units.
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.
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.
Highly skilled offensive threat with elite shooting ability and great hockey sense. Needs to add strength and quickness but should eventually grow into a top-six goal scorer who can provide solid defensive value at the NHL level.
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.
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.
Dickinson is a highly-effective defender, and stands out amongst his peers for his aggressiveness, defensive intelligence, and physicality.
A depth center that lacks size but has good foot speed. Can contribute offensively to both the power play and in shorthanded situations.
Offensive defenseman with a booming shot. Play in his own zone needs improvement.
Fluid puck-moving defenceman who plays a safe style. More dare in his game and work on defensive aggression could unlock second-pair potential.
