Centers
Brandon Svoboda
Hard-working forward who needs to develop offensively.
Joseph Erickson
A raw forward with excellent skating for his size and intriguing playmaking instincts.
Max Isaksson
A shifty, confident puck handler with solid offensive awareness.
Jakub Frolo

Riley Kidney
A very crafty forward that uses his high-end puck skills to create offensive opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Anttoni Uronen
Sturdy, intense center who already holds his own in Finland's top league at 17, winning physical battles and agitating with a heavy, after-the-whistle edge. The skating and modest offense cap him as a gritty depth center, so the fantasy value is peripheral more than points.

Layne Gallacher
Defense-first checking center whose motor, face off work, and habits away from the puck read as NHL-translatable. The fantasy ceiling stays thin until the offense he posted at the U18 level shows up against OHL competition.
