Canada
Porter Martone
A big winger with an edge and a huge bag of tricks
Matthew Schaefer
Smooth skating and creative puckmover with solid defensive instincts.
Trent Miner
Successful WHL, ECHL, and AHL netminder but limited track record as a starter.
Hunter St. Martin
A true Swiss Army Knife style player, St. Martin can play in any situation and play alongside bottom-six grinders or top-six scorers. His skating is one of his best attributes and could help him take the next leap in his game. He will need to improve most aspects of his game, especially his consistency, to make the NHL but as a player who went in the sixth round as an overager, St. Martin looks to be a nice upside bet.
Ethan Gauthier
Creative, relentless forward with decent but improvable puck skills. Still raw, but could develop into a potent top-six forward at the NHL level.
Conor Geekie
High-end offensive talent with great size who can beat opponents with his hands, vision, or shooting ability. Needs to clean up his skating stride and add some pace to his game but has potential as an impactful offensive weapon in the NHL.
Isaak Phillips
A depth defenseman with a good combination of size and skating ability. Has limited offensive upside but could provide some value in multi-cat leagues.
Xavier Veilleux
Strong two-way, puck-moving defenseman with good vision and some offensive upside. His ability to manipulate defenders to open a passing lane and create opportunities for his teammates helps to drive play for his team in every area of the ice. He has great discipline and uses his skating to help provide stability to the backend, allowing for consistently positive plus-minus statistics that can help contribute to leagues with that category.
Brennan Othmann
A solid two-way winger coming off a big 50 goal campaign with the OHL’s Flint Firebirds. His physical development has brought on some added dimensions to his game. Othmann might be a sneaky multi-cat steal in the fantasy world.
Bryce McConnell-Barker
Goal-scoring, two-way center with great compete and intensity. Needs to get comfortable slowing the pace of the game and to develop consistency, but could top out as a top-six forward.
