Fantasy Summary
A lanky centre with good hands and playmaking in open space. Drives the net, finishes his checks, and projects as a strong bottom-six piece.

Final Rankings – An intelligent centre who did a lot of heavy lifting on the third worst offence in the CHL. Both a physically engaged forechecker and a big forward with skill, Gard has plenty of upside.—Luke Sweeney
June 2025 – Gard plays a net-driven game, finishes his checks, makes plays along the wall, and has strong hands in tight, making his profile appealing to many NHL teams. However, given his low scoring output and a straight-line style that relies on linemates to drive play, Gard’s role is more complementary. While he projects as a bottom-six forward, his skill and playmaking—particularly for his size—could give him more room to develop beyond that. – Luke Sweeney
