Canada
Kalem Parker
A two-way defender with the potential to become a third pairing defenseman with penalty killing usage.
Akil Thomas
Highly skilled and very fast center despite a lower than average size. Great puck control abilities. Much better and stronger forechecker than his size would suggest.
Zachary Bolduc
Goalscoring winger with a heavy shot. He plays a physical game and has an ease at causing turnovers.
Ian Mitchell
A smart, smooth skating, offensive defenseman has all the tools to be a future top four pairing. A comparison within the organization is Duncan Keith.
Ryker Evans
A great skating, puck-moving defenseman who plays with an edge. A good multi-cat candidate who still flies under the radar in most circles.
Shane Wright
Highly skilled center that can do it all. Strong skater with great vision, an excellent shot, and the intelligence to impact the game in all areas. A potential franchise cornerstone.
Macklin Celebrini
Exceptional rush offense creator with a solid base of pro-ready tools. Defensively sound, creative and agile, with a knack for winning board battles. Projects as a top-line, do-it-all center at the NHL level.
Brandt Clarke
A dynamic offensive defender who could have the highest ceiling of any player in the 2021 draft class. He has good size but needs to fill out his frame and his skating is elite. A potential number one defenseman in the future.
Taylor Makar
High-energy depth forward who can produce moderately without special teams usage
Olen Zellweger
Puck rushing defenseman with outstanding skating ability. His well-rounded games gives him potential as a top-four defender in the NHL.
