Canada
Raoul Boilard
Faceoff specialist with great hockey sense, a strong motor and decent playmaking. Physical game and skating need work, but has upside as a middle-six defensive centre.
Miguel Marques
Middle-driven forward with triple-threat offensive skill and a great motor. Defensive and physical improvements could see him hit his top-six ceiling.
Cole Beaudoin
Strong, puck-cycling center with a good release. Has a high floor, but likely projects as a third-line power forward.
Harrison Brunicke
Smart two-way defenceman with solid mobility, polished habits and flashes of a growing offensive game. Production is unimpressive, but the tools scream second-pair, do-it-all blue-liner.
Carter Yakemchuk
Big, daring offensive defenceman with great range and tools. Decision-making and habits are still quite raw, but has number 2/3 D and top power-play upside.
Beckett Sennecke
Entertaining winger with developing glimpses of a power game. Second-line upside could be unlocked with improvements to his handling and footwork.
Calum Ritchie
Highly skilled and intelligent playmaking pivot who can play a physical game. Needs to add some quickness but he already processes the game at an elite level and has potential as a top-six NHL center who drives offense.
Connor McMichael
An intelligent, all-around centre who broke out for 2019-2020 in such a way that he looks to be a top-line NHL talent. His shot and vision has hit another level since he was drafted.
Andrew Cristall
Smooth skating and dynamic offensive threat who displays composure with the puck on his stick. He is undersized but possesses high-end hockey IQ in all three zones and has potential as a top-six winger in the NHL.
Ryan Tverberg
Hardworking, two-way forward with decent speed. Long-term project but possesses some translatable NHL tools.
