Two-way forward with good pace and overall offensive skills. Works hard and shows potential to be a top-nine NHL forward.
A physically mature goal-scoring winger with a lethal one-timer and elite shooting ability. Lacks playmaking skills and needs to work on off-puck positioning to avoid becoming a one-dimensional goal scorer. Proper development could turn one of the best pure shooters of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft into a high-floor/high-ceiling top-six elite goal-scoring power forward with PP1 and PK usage.
Big-bodied winger with good puck skills and a heavy shot, needs to work on his skating ability but projects as a solid middle six winger with upside as a powerplay specialist.
He has an elite shot, with a 40+ goal upside and will be a factor on the power play. He has good size and doesn’t shy away from the physical part of the game.
An undrafted late-bloomer with dynamic offensive instincts. His average frame and skating may hold him back at the NHL but he has scored buckets of points at every level so far.
A forward with a tremendous motor, Sawchyn has a strong identity as a player and projects very well as a future bottom-six fan favourite.
Tenacious forward with good hands around the net. Plays with energy and has enough skill to grow into a depth scorer at the NHL level.
Speedy, intelligent two-way forward with forechecking skill and a projectable frame. Offensive upside is limited, but has a safe floor as a bottom-six Swiss Army knife.
Exceptional skater with a technically sound stride and the ability to weave through traffic. Could take a while to reach the NHL but has potential as a playmaking top-six forward.
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.
