Centers
Topias Hynninen
A high-motor forward who has flashed impressive playmaking skill against junior competition but likely projects as a bottom-six checking forward, possibly on the wing.
Heikki Ruohonen
A 200-foot center with a budding playmaking game which could elevate his NHL upside.
Timur Mukhanov
Diminutive forward with outstanding skating ability and good offensive vision. Lack of size and strength could hold him back, but he has the skill to drive offense at the pro level.
Jacob Quillan
Effective two-way forward with the potential to be a strong middle-six player in the NHL.
Nicholas Moldenhauer
Versatile, 200-foot player with great offensive instincts, skating, compete and vision. Puck skills need some work, but could be a solid middle-six defensive center.
Fraser Minten
North-South center with above-average intelligence and defensive abilities. Needs to round out his puck skills and add some finesse, but could become a middle-six forward at the NHL level.
Easton Cowan
Cowan is a high-energy playmaker who plays with significant grit; with added polish and muscle, he projects as an intense depth creator in the NHL.
Braeden Kressler
Undersized but tenacious winger with good vision and passing ability. A long-term project who could grow into an effective bottom-six forward in the NHL.
Wyatt Bongiovanni
Hard-working center who works hard at both ends of the ice. He isn’t afraid to shoot the puck but lacks offensive upside. Shouldn’t be considered in fantasy leagues.
