Matt Copponi
A hardworking center with flaws off the puck. A potential fourth-line option if he improves defensively.
Centers
A hardworking center with flaws off the puck. A potential fourth-line option if he improves defensively.
A two-way center with a high motor that is not afraid to be physical. Not known as a high producer offensively but has the hockey sense and defensive reliability to become a bottom-six forward.
A massive power forward with raw talent. Needs to get quicker and build his foot speed—a long-term project.
A pesky playmaking center with a high motor.
A depth center with a limited ceiling with some offensive capabilities. Has a high work ethic and is strong defensively—he projects as a bottom-six forward.
A physical, two-way, hard-working center.
A power forward faceoff specialist who plays a responsible two-way game and isn't afraid to forecheck and do the dirty work. The ceiling is a bottom-six center that excels at faceoffs. You could find value in deep leagues that value faceoff wins.
Bäck is a pass first, two-way centerman who doesn’t excel in any particular area but is adequate in many (ie. skating, puck protection, acceleration and shot). He will not be a volume shooter at the next level and his low PIM totals will not give him any added value in leagues that count that statistic.
A very smart forward who skates well with a good wrist shot and works hard off the puck.
An intelligent and defensively capable pivot who could forge a long-term NHL career and a bottom-six center.
