Canada
Alexandre Doucet
A complimentary winger, who is just planting his feet in the AHL.
Eric Jamieson
A defensive-minded defenceman who brings a ton of physicality, his play style could translate to a fifth or sixth defenseman.
Justin Poirier
Goal-scorer with some of the most polished shooting mechanics in the draft. Forechecking game borderlines on violent. Improving defensive game and playmaking is key to unlocking second-line, top power play upside.
Braeden Kressler
Undersized but tenacious winger with good vision and passing ability. A long-term project who could grow into an effective bottom-six forward in the NHL.
Luca Cagnoni
Highly intelligent two-way defenseman with advanced processing, awareness and manipulation habits. Puck skills are only above-average in isolation, but blend very well. Needs to add some strength and improve his skating, but could turn out to be a top-four defenseman at the NHL level.
Cole Brown
A big, skilled winger with offensive upside.
Matthew Mayich
A poised defenseman who is responsible and makes good outlet passes. Offense is a work in progress.
Brandon Lisowsky
Undersized goal-scorer with tremendous compete — second-line potential with a fallback game as a bottom-six checking forward.
Carter Sotheran
Transition specialist with surprising mobility and intelligence for his size. Developing consistency is key, but could be a fringe second-pair defenceman down the line.
