Latvia
Dans Locmelis
Two-way center with good hands and playmaking ability. Needs to add size and improve physical game.
Ēriks Mateiko
A big-bodied winger who utilizes his size and strength well and is reliable on the defensive end. He projects as a bottom-six forward with potential penalty-kill usage.
Sandis Vilmanis
A sniper who can elevate the puck quickly in tight and capitalize on high-danger chances from the slot. He skates well and has a decent all-around skill set but has faced criticism for his sub-standard pace
Mikus Vecvanags
An athletic and versatile goalie who can handle a large workload. Still needs to fill in his frame and add strength.
Arturs Silovs
Big, athletic netminder with quality quickness. Untapped upside.
Raivis Ansons
A strong skating forward who works well off the rush.
Kristiāns Rubīns
Reliable blueliner with good size and mobility. Needs to inject more physicality into his game but has third-pairing upside.
Martins Dzierkals
Creative playmaker but unlikely to be an NHLer
Teodors “Teddy” Blueger
Possible middle-six forward with a bit of upside if things fall into place the right way.
Matiss Kivlenieks
Dominant in prior levels and still very young, has time to develop in the AHL and potential to backup in the pros.
