Switzerland
Lars Steiner
A dependable forward with quick feet and a powerful shot.
Elijah Neuenschwander
A long-term goalie prospect with size and skill, his NHL upside depends on improving his quickness and dealing with successive reaction plays.
Akira Schmid
Schmid has surprised many with his early burst onto the North American scene. He has a long way to go but early impressions have been very good.
Christian Kirsch
He is a big, athletic goaltender who is learning how to use his body in the crease. A long-term project.
Brian Zanetti
A mobile puck-moving defenseman who can take care of the defensive end of the ice. Lacks offensive upside.
Leon Muggli
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.
Basile Sansonnens
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.
