Canada
Nick Lardis
Lardis is a high-upside, low-floor prospect with a versatile set of above-average tools but a lack of defensive engagement, physicality, and leverage tools to win puck battles.
Coulson Pitre
Pitre is a strong mechanical skater with average handling and passing who still needs to refine his pace of play and activity rate to clearly project to pro hockey.
Riley Heidt
Creative and intelligent playmaker who displays a strong work-ethic. Has great speed and overall mobility, projecting as a top-six offensive driver at the NHL level.
Lukas Dragicevic
Aggressive offensive blueliner with great mobility and a heavy shot. Needs to continue to develop defensively but possesses top-four potential at the NHL level.
Carson Bjarnason
Athletic goaltender with good size and play-reading ability. Needs to improve his improvisational play but has potential as an NHL goaltender.
Étienne Morin
Playmaking defenseman with interesting offensive tools. Decision-making and footwork need to improve to unlock his potential as a fourth or fifth defenseman.
Kalan Lind
A playmaking forward who plays with an edge. Not the most complete player, but could develop into a bottom-six specialist.
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.
Nico Myatovic
Myatovic is a tenacious powerforward who can elevate more skilled linemates at the WHL level.
