Big and powerful forward who can play both center and wing. Decent offensive skills but lacks high-end talent.

Big and powerful forward who can play both center and wing. Decent offensive skills but lacks high-end talent.
Big, mobile defensive defenseman that keeps the puck out of the net. Plays on the penalty kill, uses an active stick to prevent chances. Brings value to leagues that value takeaways, blocked shots.
A good value pick for the Capitals. He appears to be a dangerous top six forward but time and increased competition is needed for him to continue developing.
Mature and smart left-handed defenceman who regularly wins battles against former NHLers. Lacks offensive pop, but should translate well to the NHL as a bottom-pair penalty-killer.
Geisser is a big bodied defenseman and appears to have some untapped offense.
A reliable defensive specialist who shone in a big role at the U18 Worlds.
Smooth-skating two-way defenseman who excels on the breakout. Adding more aggressive offensive tendencies could solidify his middle-pair potential.
A smooth-skating, cerebral two-way defender that does a little bit of everything.
De Luca is a skilled forward who still needs to refine his game at higher paces but who could become a depth producer in the NHL with strong development.
Massive, smooth-skating blue-liner with polished defensive habits. Offensive tools need some work but could easily become a top-four defensive defenseman.
