Two-way defenceman with strong skating for his size
Big, physical defensive defenceman who does not score often but shows promise in transition. He could become a bottom-pairing type at the NHL level.
Bottom-six center who uses physicality to create offense. Strong playmaker with soft hands but a relatively weak shot. Can play both center and wing—added value in multi-cat leagues that value hits.
Intelligent playmaking center who can exploit gaps and work the cycle down low. Needs to work on both his physical and mental pace to be an NHLer, but could carve out a bottom-six role.

Big-bodied forward who will need lots of time to develop his game in North America.
