Switzerland
Valentin Nussbaumer
A skilled player who never really stood out while playing in the QMJHL, he has returned to Switzerland to continue developing. Has sleeper potential.
Dean Kukan
A well-rounded, hard-working “tweener” who might serve a low key role on an NHL third-pairing if he gets another chance to stick.
Vincent Praplan
Has the ability to score in Europe but can it translate to North America
Gilles Senn
Big, agile and very talented, will need to prove he can sustain performance level in the long run.
Yannick Rathgeb
Rathgeb should bring an interesting mix of supporting the rush and chippy behavior. With the organization in flux, versatile players should be kept on watch lists - as he can play both forward and defense.
