Rau is small, and plays small. He is very skilled, but likely not dynamic enough to become an NHL regular
Two-way blueliner with good foot speed and a heavy point shot. A long-term project.
Tall, athletic goaltender with a lean build. Moves well in his crease but needs to continue to refine his overall technique to grow into a reliable NHL starter.
Twice-undrafted, undersized forward with high-end offensive tools and awareness. Could be a great late-round pickup for a team in need of boom-or-bust, top-six upside.
Thoreson's offensive toolkit and hockey mind are quite excellent, but he remains very raw and gets physically overwhelmed by USHL opponents far too regularly, while it's a longshot, he does have top-six upside.
Crafty, intelligent and skillful pocket-sized forward with impressive hands and shiftiness. Lacks physical capabilities and is raw, but has middle-six upside if he works out.
Middle-six playmaking forward.
Hobey Baker nominee and was undrafted in all eligible drafts. Stauber stands tall at 6-foot-3 and is able to read the game well. His development path could be long however he does have the ability and skills to perform consistently at the NHL level.
Playmaking winger with good puck handling ability who is willing to engage in puck battles. Needs to improve his skating mechanics but his hockey sense and puck skills give him middle-six upside.
