Final Rankings – I’ve been banging the drum for Dakoda Rhéaume-Mullen all season. He may be a bit undersized for a shutdown role, but his excellent skating and positioning more than make up for it.—Anni Karvinen

June 2025The Michigan first-year player, Dakoda Rhéaume-Mullen, had an NCAA freshman season that flew mostly under the radar, mainly due to his profile. Although his smaller frame doesn’t fit the traditional mold NHL teams look for in shutdown defenders, his mobility and positional sense made him highly effective at killing plays. With his excellent edgework and awareness, Rhéaume-Mullen deserves more attention. Adding muscle is key for him to translate his game to the next level, but with his tools, he should be an intriguing bet in the middle rounds of the draft.   Anni Karvinen
