Canada
Reece Newkirk
A fiery and fearless competitor, he continues to refine his scoring and stickhandling. Likely a bottom-six player in the pros, he is versatile enough to move up and down a lineup. A candidate for both special teams
Jaydon Dureau
A hard-working winger with a decent 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-6 elite goal-scoring power forward with PP1 and PK usage.
Dylan Coghlan
A depth defensemen that moves the puck well with solid offensive instincts and a big shot. Limited fantasy upside.
Dillon Hamaliuk
Hamaliuk is a big power forward who possesses good speed for his size and an above average shot. His size makes him a safer bet to at least land a bottom six NHL gig in comparison to his peers.
Ethan Edwards
Elite skater with impressive offensive tools (passing, shooting, stickhandling) - must work on his D-zone effort and positioning to make the jump. Physicality will always be a weakness, but could end up being a bottom-four puck-moving blueliner if things go well. Fantasy leagues with emphasis on points for D-men will likely benefit from this prospect if he makes the NHL.
Michael Vukojevic
Vukojevic could be a bit of a force if everything develops right -- the ability to shoot and hit the puck is high.
Kevin Bahl
At this point Bahl seems more of a defensive defenseman and doesn't offer much fantasy wise other than in leagues that count stats like hits, blocked shots and penalty minutes.
Garin Bjorklund
A confident and athletic goalie with an excellent toolkit
