Centers
Henri Nikkanen
A big, athletic center that sees the ice well. Competes hard and is reliable defensively. Foot speed and skating need improvement at the pro level. Has a limited fantasy upside.
Brad Lambert
A dynamic skater with excellent acceleration and top-end speed, edgework and agility is close to elite. Tough to knock off the puck, can fight through checks, and has elite puck-handling skills and scoring ability. Still, his vision and decision-making as a playmaker are questioned, and he is considered a boom-or-bust prospect with consistency concerns at both ends of the ice. He can potentially be a top-line center with PP1 usage if his all-around game develops. His floor is a bottom-six up-tempo center that can be relied on to kill penalties.
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.
Shane Bowers
Smart, fast forward who can be dangerous from anywhere
Brayden Yager
Highly skilled offensive threat with elite shooting ability and great hockey sense. Needs to add strength and quickness but should eventually grow into a top-six goal scorer who can provide solid defensive value at the NHL level.
Linus Eriksson
An intelligent and defensively capable pivot who could forge a long-term NHL career and a bottom-six center.
Max Sasson
A high-motor center with an offensive touch. Brings bottom-six NHL potential.
Matthew Stienburg
Multi-use forward trading points for PIMs in pro after some decent college production
