Canada
Strong two-way, puck-moving defenseman with good vision and some offensive upside. His ability to manipulate defenders to open a passing lane and create opportunities for his teammates helps to drive play for his team in every area of the ice. He has great discipline and uses his skating to help provide stability to the backend, allowing for consistently positive plus-minus statistics that can help contribute to leagues with that category.
A solid two-way winger coming off a big 50 goal campaign with the OHL’s Flint Firebirds. His physical development has brought on some added dimensions to his game. Othmann might be a sneaky multi-cat steal in the fantasy world.
Goal-scoring, two-way center with great compete and intensity. Needs to get comfortable slowing the pace of the game and to develop consistency, but could top out as a top-six forward.
A hard-worker, Maggio nonetheless took his time to become draft-relevant and will need minor-league pro seasoning before he has any chance of cracking an NHL roster.
An undersized versatile forward with soft hands, a high motor, and an array of shots. Bottom-six upside.
A depth defensemen that moves the puck well with solid offensive instincts and a big shot. Limited fantasy upside.
Highly skilled offensive threat with elite shooting ability and great hockey sense. Needs to add strength and quickness but should eventually grow into a top-six goal scorer who can provide solid defensive value at the NHL level.
Smart, fast forward who can be dangerous from anywhere
An intelligent sniper with a wicked release. Improving by the minute.
Intelligent, hardworking, two-way forward that compliments higher skilled players. An excellent skater who’s defensively responsible. Capable of contributing to a second power-play unit and being relied on as a penalty killer. He is a facilitator more than a creator with the puck—a long-term prospect with bottom-six depth potential.
