Centers
Matias Vanhanen
Playmaking winger with pace and inside-lane touch who excels on give-and-go entries; projects as a complementary middle-six scorer if strength and shot volume keep climbing.
Ryan Roobroeck
A big forward who combines puck skills, scoring and athleticism.
Brooks Rogowski
Massive pivot with raw but enticing skillset.
Milton Gästrin
Do-it-all, two-way playmaking forward
Yegor Shilov
Electric, dynamic puckhandler and all-around offensive player.
Maddox Dagenais
A high-energy center with elite skating skill with the potential to become a middle-six NHL player.,
Adam Andersson
A strong playmaker and two-way centre.
Daniel Walters
Fast, physical checking center who wins pucks and punishes with heavy hits, with an offensive game that's improving but still modest. The fantasy value lives in penalty minutes and hits, not counting stats, so he's a deep-league name at most.
Brody Pepoy
Lean, goal-leaning right winger and one of the draft's better risers, from undrafted OHL free agent to a ranked prospect in a single season. The fantasy interest is the trajectory and the frame, with a middle-six scoring ceiling if the second-half form and added weight follow.
