Observations
September 2026 – Giorgos Pantelas is a physical, defense-first blueliner the Los Angeles Kings landed 153rd overall, a value pick given consensus boards had him closer to the second round before he faded down the stretch. He anchored the top pair for the Brandon Wheat Kings all season and tripled his offense to 37 points, 31 of them assists, while adding 50 penalty minutes and a plus-19. The calling card is defending. He skates well, keeps opponents to the outside with strong gap control, and plays a hard, aggressive, in-your-face game that his 6-foot-2, 214-pound frame lets him back up. The offense is efficient rather than dynamic, and the over-aggression that occasionally leaves him reaching is the main thing to clean up. Central Scouting ranked him 46th among North American skaters, and he returns to Brandon for 2026-27 rather than rushing to college. For fantasy his appeal is a right-shot, all-situations shutdown profile with penalty-kill and second-unit power-play usage, the kind of two-way defenseman whose real-hockey value outruns his point ceiling. He is a dynasty monitor whose case grows if the puck-moving and power-play production take another step in his overage WHL season. Andrew Epps
