Centers
Fantastic skater who can control the play at high speeds. Plays center, oozes skill, talent and maturity, but lacks consistency and physicality. Great puck-handling skills with a strong nose for the net. Must improve defensive game before making it to the NHL.
A long-term project with bottom-six checking center upside
A strong player, good skater, fierce forechecker that is a very underrated playmaker
A powerful and physical player who makes his living around the net
A center who skates well and has good top end speed. If he can avoid injuries, he can develop into a scoring third-line player.
While Shaw has significant offensive potential, knee injuries resulting in a lost season rarely work out perfectly, and his development may have taken a major hit. A full recovery from the injury could warrant middle-6 potential, but for now he's got a bit of a hill to overcome.
KHL commit with big body and average scoring abilities
Big and powerful forward who can play both center and wing. Decent offensive skills but lacks high-end talent.
Quick, skilled center who works hard and can create offense.
