Quinn Schmiemann
Two-way defenseman with above average puck moving ability, Schmiemann is a good passer and defender and may be able to carve out a role as a depth NHL defenseman.
Maxence Guénette
Late-round pick who has seemed to have been worth the flyer to this point. A steady defender who doesn't have a true standout skill.
Jacob Bernard-Docker
A solid top-four defenseman with power play responsibilities.
Chandler Romeo
He’s a tall, lanky kid that skates well for his size, but his offensive ceiling will be capped fairly low. He could be a bottom-pairing defensive defenseman.
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.
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.
Jack Matier
Pure defensive defenseman, limited offensive upside. Potential in blocks/hits leagues.
Adam Ingram
Smart offensive forward with good size and playmaking ability. Needs to add pace and improve his off-puck game but has middle-six NHL upside.
