A stifling defender first and foremost who might never produce meaningful offensive numbers, Carlsson is more likely to fill the peripheral categories.
Likely a long term project, Kjellberg possesses an NHL sized body but will have to develop his toolbelt before graduating within the Ranger’s system.
Tärnström is a quick skater who makes good decisions to create offense.
Nordh is a good quick passer with good physical tools and application, and good scanning habits. His upside is mainly as a defensive contributor and play-connector, and he could develop into a versatile third-line contributor.
Intelligent, quick and responsible center with upside as a middle-six forward if his puck skills continue to improve.
Wahlberg is a powerful centreman who dominates in transition, plays a refined defensive game, and has shown impressive offensive creativity and goalscoring ability.
Offensively skilled and versatile forward with great size and hockey sense. His combination of size and skill gives him a safe floor and he has the upside to develop into an impactful top-six forward in the NHL.
Offensively gifted winger with great puck handling ability. Will need to add pace and improve his off-puck play to reach his potential as a scoring winger in the NHL.
A puck-rushing defenseman with great size and skating ability. Not the most natural offensive threat but has good puck skills and a decent shot. Brings value to the team with excellent transitional play. Has a lot of room for improvement in his defensive game and decision-making. Projects to become a middle-pair defenseman at the NHL level.
