United States of America
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.
Chaz Lucius
An injury-prone, highly skilled goal-scoring center with quick hands and a great shot. Generates a lot of offense but needs to improve his defensive play. Has top-six, high-end scoring potential that will contribute to the powerplay if he can stay healthy.
Brian Pinho
Pinho can see the ice very well and is more of a playmaker than a shooter. He is great at anticipating the opponent’s plays, making him a likely future bottom-six forward if his skating can improve to NHL levels
Patrick Moynihan
Moynihan's goal-scoring ability could translate up to the next levels which makes him one to watch out for. It's not elite level but might be good.
Mackie Samoskevich
An uber-skilled forward who has the ability to pull fans out of their seats. He has some of the silkiest hands in the draft and soft touch on his passing. He has the potential to be a volume scorer at the next level if he can translate his game.
Cooper Black
A towering 6-8 goaltender, Black moves decently especially considering his size. A late bloomer, Black has substantial upside due to his size and mobility in the crease and could surprise many people after getting his feet underneath himself.
