Centers
Matyas Melovsky
Bottom-six center who uses physicality to create offense. Strong playmaker with soft hands but a relatively weak shot. Can play both center and wing—added value in multi-cat leagues that value hits.
Ondrej Pavel
Versatile centerman who will need to find a pro role to be NHL- and fantasy-relevant
Calum Ritchie
Highly skilled and intelligent playmaking pivot who can play a physical game. Potential top-six NHL center who drives offense.
Ryan McAllister
An undrafted late-bloomer with dynamic offensive instincts. His average frame and skating may hold him back at the NHL but he has scored buckets of points at every level so far.
Gracyn Sawchyn
A forward with a tremendous motor, Sawchyn has a strong identity as a player and projects very well as a future bottom-six fan favourite.
Stepan Gorbunov
An imposing skater that can play both forward and defense, Gorbunov skates well for his size, and as he continues to refine his game, could be an excellent bottom-six piece who can add points and penalty minutes.
Tucker Robertson
Tenacious forward with good hands around the net. Plays with energy and has enough skill to grow into a depth scorer at the NHL level.
Ollie Josephson
Speedy, intelligent two-way forward with forechecking skill and a projectable frame. Offensive upside is limited, but has a safe floor as a bottom-six Swiss Army knife.
Tye Kartye
Goal scoring forward, who was passed over in the NHL draft, and seems intent and capable of proving that was a mistake.
David Goyette
Exceptional skater with a technically sound stride and the ability to weave through traffic. Could take a while to reach the NHL but has potential as a playmaking top-six forward.
