United States of America
Hard-working forward who needs to develop offensively.
Undrafted forward with a winning pedigree. Developing well in the minors.
Gruden is a high-energy, high-effort player. He displays excellent vision and passing ability paired with a decent shot. He's a well balanced player who can play a variety of roles.
Most likely a bottom-six center with a moderate offensive ceiling. He is a strong skater and sound positionally. Could play net-front on the power play and kill penalties. Good defensively, which could see him as a passenger on an offensively skilled line. Doesn't shoot much, but should get you a hit every other game.
A big goaltender with strong lateral movement and solid puck-tracking. His positioning is a weakness, and he often finds himself straying from his net, leaving easy opportunities for opposing teams.
Highly-skilled shooter and puck-handler who accelerates every puck he gets. Boom-or-bust project with second-line upside.
A cerebral and effective centre with nasty finishing ability.
Speed-driven, playmaking pivot
A good player in tight and off of the rush as Blake has great hands to set up a play or score in front. He is going to need to bulk up to move up the professional ranks but no one doubts his creativity and ability
A skilled offensive player who excels on the powerplay with a great shot and good vision. He will need to improve his mobility and add pace to his overall game but his offensive instincts should translate to the next level.
