Viktor Hurtig
Tall, mobile defenseman with good offensive tools, but shakey decision-making on both sides of the puck. Needs to adapt to professional hockey, but could hold an NHL roster spot one day.

Talented netminder who can handle starts after long breaks
A steady two-way forward who lacks some dynamism offensively but finds a way to contribute every night. His motor runs high and he gets in on the forecheck to create offense. Stjernborg is going to be an interesting developmental project as his offensive game is solid but simple and he should be able to translate it as he gets a bit stronger over the next couple of seasons. He can play on the wing or at center and projects to a bottom-six role with a bit of offensive production.
Technically sound defensive defenseman. Arnesson won’t fill the scoresheet but is capable of playing significant minutes and can help in leagues that count plus/minus.
An extremely smart and skilled offensive player with top-six upside. A pass-first type player with high-end playmaking abilities. A natural center but there are some concerns about his ability to play down the middle at the pro level. A difficult player to evaluate because he missed the entire 2018-2019 season due to knee injury.
Mobile defender with strong puck-moving ability. Has the potential to grow into a reliable top-four defenceman in the NHL.
Intelligent two-way defender with a heavy shot and great offensive awareness. Plays a physical game for his size but could stand to add some explosiveness to his stride.
Strong puck-mover with pro experience
Big, lanky penalty-killing forward able to play anywhere in the lineup
Very talented offensive winger with top line upside. A high-end goal-scorer and a great playmaker. Good skater but not great. Needs to show more effort in his play without the puck.
