Canada
Carson Rehkopf
Sharp-shooting winger with strong off-puck positioning, a heavy release, and a decent forechecking game. Relatively one-dimensional, but could round out his game to become a middle-six trigger man.
Clarke Caswell
Playmaking specialist with decent hustle and vision. Rounding out his toolkit could see him become a middle-six forward.
Adam Beckman
An intelligent sniper with a wicked release. Improving by the minute.
William Dufour
A power forward reminiscent of Cal Clutterbuck, Dufour fits the Islanders’ hit-anything mentality. His willingness to help defensively qualifies him for the bottom six, although a knack for scoring could lift him higher.
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.
Chase Stillman
Energy forward with alluring two-way elements and middle-six offensive upside.
Zack Ostapchuk
Physical forward with a powerful stride and slick stickhandling ability. Could be a solid top-6 contributor in the correct scenario.
Fraser Minten
North-South center with above-average intelligence and defensive abilities. Needs to round out his puck skills and add some finesse, but could become a middle-six forward at the NHL level.
Parker Alcos
Smooth skating defenseman with good defensive instincts. Gets back in transition and shuts down attacking players. Improvements to his offensive game can elevate his value. Worth a look in leagues that use takeaways.
Jordan Dumais
Shifty offensive winger with good playmaking ability. Lack of size and strength could hold him back but he has the skill to produce at the NHL level.
