Germany
Leon Gawanke
Raw offensive upside with a heavy shot from the blueline; could take plenty of seasoning in the minors before he's ready to make the jump to the NHL.
Dominik Bokk
The German winger blends terrific offensive instincts with lightning quick hands and an unquenchable thirst for piling up points.
Nikita Quapp
A big goalie who plays a little passive in his own net. Uses his size to see around screens and also has solid movement for a goalie of his size. Hasn’t gotten a ton of playing time in Germany until this past year.
Julian Lutz
Versatile, energetic two-way forward with some pace and puck skills. Jack-of-all-trades prospect without any particular standout skill — high floor, low ceiling.
Lukas Reichel
An offensive winger with great hockey sense, very good skating ability, good skills, good effort level, and decent size. Top-six upside. Not overly flashy but very efficient.
Nico Sturm
A 200-foot center who is reliable at both ends of the rink. While Sturm won’t be a leading scorer, his offensive production shows promise and he has bottom-six potential.
Luca Münzenberger
Defensively responsible bottom pairing defender with size and solid mobility. Makes simple plays to alleviate pressure and makes a good first pass out of the defensive zone. Does not make much of an impact offensively but has a good point shot.
Marc Michaelis
A versatile forward with a tenacious style and some offensive upside.
Justin Schütz
Average-sized winger with good skill. Middle-six upside. A long-term project.
Lean Bergmann
Sniper with lightning fast hands and above-average skating ability.
