Canada
Spencer Gill
Raw, athletic blue-liner with astoundiing offensive metrics backed by a booming shot. Defence has and should continue to improve. Has upside as a second-pair, two-way defenseman.
Andrew Basha
Rapid puck-carrying forward with a versatile skillset. Excels in transition and is growing his defensive game. Overall puck skills improvement could unlock middle-six potential.
Harrison Brunicke
Smart two-way defenceman with solid mobility, polished habits and flashes of a growing offensive game. Production is unimpressive, but the tools scream second-pair, do-it-all blue-liner.
Ryder Ritchie
Ritchie is a skilled and quick winger, who will still need to incorporate more mature off-puck habits before he can make the jump to pro hockey.
Tanner Howe
Feisty, undersized winger with great hands, motor and defensive ability. Refining his puck skills could land him a middle-six, two-way role.
Charlie Elick
Big, mobile right-handed defensive defenceman with a great foundation of gap-closing tools. Offense is relatively limited, but projects as a number 4 penalty-kill specialist.
Sam O’Reilly
Incredibly intelligent two-way center with solid playmaking tools. Skating needs work, but could develop into a third-line, penalty-killing specialist.
Ben Danford
Well-rounded, mobile right-handed blue liner with good poise and breakout skill. Lack of offensive engagement and overall awareness limit his game, but has #4-5 upside.
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.
