Switzerland
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.
Daniil Ustinkov
Smooth-skating two-way defenseman who excels on the breakout. Adding more aggressive offensive tendencies could solidify his middle-pair potential.
Leon Muggli
A smooth-skating, cerebral two-way defender that does a little bit of everything.
Tommaso De Luca
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.
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.
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 mobile puck-moving defenseman who can take care of the defensive end of the ice. Lacks offensive upside.
Janis Moser
A smart Swiss defenseman who's at his best in transition.
