United States of America
Sam Malinski
Confident puck-handling defenseman with 3rd-pairing upside
Logan Hutsko
Talented playmaker with top-nine upside. Capable of playing both center and wing. Needs to stay healthy - has had a couple of serious injuries in the past.
Jayson Shaugabay
Very skilled but undersized forward.
Dylan Duke
Good finisher with a strong release who excels as a net front presence despite his small stature. Needs to add pace to his game but has potential as a middle six goal scorer at the NHL level.
Isaac Howard
A gifted offensive winger with great puck skills and a quick release. Needs to get stronger but has top-six upside at the NHL level.
Danny Nelson
Nelson is a big centerman who can be a strong net-front presence but is limited in NHL projection, likely topping out as a fourth-line center.
Brody Lamb
A shifty forward who possesses an effective release.
Brett Berard
A diminutive forward who has a crafty skill set and a willingness to get to the net. His playmaking ability is creative and aimed at the middle of the ice. One of the youngest players in the draft class.
Matt Kiersted
An undrafted defender who is an effortless skater who sees the ice well. May have untapped offensive upside.
Cole Eiserman
Eiserman is an elite goalscorer; his release is as potent as his ability to find soft ice off-puck, but his on-puck game and defensive engagement remain raw.
