United States of America
Zam Plante
Detail-oriented two-way center and faceoff specialist coming off a 48-point college season. Size caps the projection to a bottom-six role with deep-league peripheral value.
Lucas Van Vliet
Shoot-first scoring winger off a program-record freshman year at St. Thomas. Middle-six fantasy upside if the playmaking catches up.
Tyler Muszelik
Patient, structurally sound goalie fresh off his best college season and a Florida entry-level deal. A multi-year AHL projection with backup upside at best.
Brandon Bussi
Large framed goaltender who moves well and is aggressive on pucks. Can be too aggressive at times. Likely needs more time in the AHL, but could be an NHL backup, possibly even 1B if things break right.
Alex Steeves
Undrafted late bloomer with a nose for the net. Competes hard and has good offensive instincts.
Frank Nazar
Versatile forward with great speed and offensive skill. Generates offense off the rush and has a quick release. Needs to add strength to his undersized frame but has the talent to produce offense in the NHL.
Sam Rinzel
Smooth skating offensive blueliner with a projectable frame. Has potential to grow into a two-way top-four defenseman.
William Horcoff
Huge but raw. Skill, vision and lots of runway, but a lot of work to get there.
Rutger McGroarty
A highly skilled, competitive, versatile forward who can play on the wing and center in the top six.
