Centers
High-end offensive talent with great size who can beat opponents with his hands, vision, or shooting ability. Needs to clean up his skating stride and add some pace to his game but has potential as an impactful offensive weapon in the NHL.
Nelson is a big centerman who can be a strong net-front presence but is limited in NHL projection, likely topping out as a fourth-line center.
Goal-scoring, two-way center with great compete and intensity. Needs to get comfortable slowing the pace of the game and to develop consistency, but could top out as a top-six forward.
An undersized versatile forward with soft hands, a high motor, and an array of shots. Bottom-six upside.
Highly skilled offensive threat with elite shooting ability and great hockey sense. Needs to add strength and quickness but should eventually grow into a top-six goal scorer who can provide solid defensive value at the NHL level.
A big, athletic center that sees the ice well. Competes hard and is reliable defensively. Foot speed and skating need improvement at the pro level. Has a limited fantasy upside.
A dynamic skater with excellent acceleration and top-end speed, edgework and agility is close to elite. Tough to knock off the puck, can fight through checks, and has elite puck-handling skills and scoring ability. Still, his vision and decision-making as a playmaker are questioned, and he is considered a boom-or-bust prospect with consistency concerns at both ends of the ice. He can potentially be a top-line center with PP1 usage if his all-around game develops. His floor is a bottom-six up-tempo center that can be relied on to kill penalties.
An injury-prone, highly skilled goal-scoring center with quick hands and a great shot. Generates a lot of offense but needs to improve his defensive play. Has top-six, high-end scoring potential that will contribute to the powerplay if he can stay healthy.
Pinho can see the ice very well and is more of a playmaker than a shooter. He is great at anticipating the opponent’s plays, making him a likely future bottom-six forward if his skating can improve to NHL levels
Moynihan's goal-scoring ability could translate up to the next levels which makes him one to watch out for. It's not elite level but might be good.
