Canada
Liam Greentree
Sharp-shooting winger with strong off-puck movement and puck protection tools Skating and defensive improvements required, but has middle-six upside.
Dean Letourneau
Massive center with a heavy release and a physical game. Plays with an edge. Hockey sense and handling skill need work, but has safe upside as a unique third-liner.
Cole Beaudoin
Strong, puck-cycling center with a good release. Has a high floor, but likely projects as a third-line power forward.
Michael Hage
True dual-threat center with great details to his playmaking game. Second-line upside is attainable with work on his defending and engagement.
Sacha Boisvert
Skillful center with strong off-puck movement and puck protection mechanics. Skating and defensive game need to improve to unlock his second-line upside.
Terik Parascak
Incredibly intelligent forward with decent puck skills and great feel for the game. Skating needs to improve massively, but has the upside to become a top-six, two-way forward.
Cayden Lindstrom
Massive, physical forward who doesn't sacrifice skill or smarts. Quick and daring in transition, willing to disturb opponents and displays impressive character. Projects as a top-six power-forward center.
Sam Dickinson
Dickinson is a highly-effective defender, and stands out amongst his peers for his aggressiveness, defensive intelligence, and physicality.
Carter Yakemchuk
Big, daring offensive defenceman with great range and tools. Decision-making and habits are still quite raw, but has number 2/3 D and top power-play upside.
Zayne Parekh
Parekh's game is one of dynamism, creativity, and surgical precision in his activations from the point, he is among the most skilled blueliners that Canada has produced since Cale Makar.
