Switzerland
Tobias Geisser
Geisser is a big bodied defenseman and appears to have some untapped offense.
Damien Riat
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.
Lian Bichsel
Massive, smooth-skating blue-liner with polished defensive habits. Offensive tools need some work but could easily become a top-four defensive defenseman.
Philipp Kurashev
Gritty, shifty center with a penchant for forechecking and some scoring ability
Joren van Pottelberghe
NHL caliber goalie who has many years of professional experience in Switzerland. He could provide depth in net for the Red Wings, but probably not more than an NHL back-up or perhaps 1B if all breaks right.
Brian Zanetti
A lanky, mobile, puck-moving defenseman whose solid defensively but needs time to fill out his tall frame and increase his strength.
