Canada
Caedan Bankier
Strong power forward with great size, which could be beneficial at the NHL level. He battles well along the boards and has strong puck-possession skills.
Logan Stankoven
A feisty undersized forward with one of the best shots in the 2021 NHL Draft. He plays a high-motor game with the offensive skill to burn teams.
Fedor Gordeev
Big d-man who brings PIMs and modest points
Hunter Haight
Two-way forward who can play in all situations. Has a decent release and good vision in the offensive zone. Potential as a top-nine forward who can provide secondary scoring at the NHL level.
Mason Shaw
While Shaw has significant offensive potential, knee injuries resulting in a lost season rarely work out perfectly, and his development may have taken a major hit. A full recovery from the injury could warrant middle-6 potential, but for now he's got a bit of a hill to overcome.
Daemon Hunt
Solid all-around defender plagued by injuries in his draft-eligible season. He can do a bit of everything and should be a valuable piece on any blueline.
Elliot Desnoyers
A defense-first winger who is developing his offensive game. He excels as the puck hound on a line and does his best work away from the puck. He can play with skill and produce moderately as a complimentary piece.
Ethan Del Mastro
Del Mastro is a big body stay at home defensemen who can eat up a lot of minutes. He has been trusted to be placed in big game moments where he can shut down the opposing team’s offence. He is a strong two-way defenseman with a great hockey IQ and the capabilities of being a solid second paring NHL defenseman.
Colton Dach
Dach is an offensively skilled forward with solid stick handling abilities and is able to play in both the centre and left wing slots. His size is a great advantage over his opponents especially down low where he is able to muscle his way in and control the puck. His has a strong yet very deceptive release for a player of his size. As a 6-foot-4 forward his skating was one noticeable flaw in his game however he has been able to strengthen his acceleration and edge work since being drafted. The probability of being a reliable middle six NHL player is certainly there.
Matthew Soto
Energetic and versatile winger with good puck skills and vision. Projects as a complementary middle-six winger at the NHL level if he reaches his potential.
