United States of America
Victor Plante
A smaller forward with a nonetheless projectable and intelligent game
Brooks Rogowski
Massive pivot with raw but enticing skillset.
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.
Chase Bradley
Smooth skating winger with good hockey sense. Reads the play well in the offensive zone.
Timofei Runtso
Right-shot, two-way defenseman who moves the puck and creates off the rush, with the discipline to play both special teams. The fantasy value rides on the power play, where his shot-through volume and passing project him as a secondary point source if he climbs an NHL depth chart.
Wyatt Cullen
A creative, deceptive playmaker with a high-end motor and a powerful shot. He should be a first or second round pick at the 2026 NHL Draft.
Brody Pepoy
Lean, goal-leaning right winger and one of the draft's better risers, from undrafted OHL free agent to a ranked prospect in a single season. The fantasy interest is the trajectory and the frame, with a middle-six scoring ceiling if the second-half form and added weight follow.
Brandon Svoboda
Hard-working forward who needs to develop offensively.
Logan Stuart
A high-energy, straight-line skater with developmental upside despite limited finishing.
