Centers
Dominic Turgeon
Defensively responsible center who can kill penalties. Not likely to make an impact offensively at the NHL level.
Nikita Alexandrov
Adequate skater who blends skill and power to make himself a constant threat
Anton Ohlsson
Playmaking center with decent hockey sense and an underused shot. Lacks dynamic ability with the puck, but could become a bottom-six passer with enough time.
Kocha Delic
Delic is a projectable, intelligent, intense centreman who makes for a straightforward NHL projection in a bottom-six role with his foundation of high-end work rate, strong off-puck routes, strong distribution, and overall offensive and transition efficiency.
Josh Pillar
Pillar is a versatile playmaker who utilizes his strong skating to create space and also backtrack on defense. Despite being undersized, Pillar is always engaged and isn’t afraid of going to the dirty areas to make a play. Capable of playing at center and the wing. Although you shouldn’t expect great point-scoring statistics from Pillar, you can count on him to be consistent with SOG and hits.
Amadeus Lombardi
Dynamic top-six center with very high offensive ceiling. His skating and speed are his best attributes that will help carry him to the NHL but the way he processes the game makes one think that he could be the steal of the 2022 Draft.
Jamieson Rees
Rees has a ton of potential and is beginning to blossom offensively. Likely slots as a middle-six forward but could move higher if he continues his upward progression.
Odeen Tufto
Highly productive playmaking centerman. Great speed through the neutral zone, excellent puck handling skills. Undersized, which will hold him back, but has enough skill to eventually overcome the size deficiency. Natural centerman but will likely end up on the wing at the professional level. Tufto’s fantasy value will come in the form of goals, assists, and SOG.
Akil Thomas
Highly skilled and very fast center despite a lower than average size. Great puck control abilities. Much better and stronger forechecker than his size would suggest.
Adam Ingram
Smart offensive forward with good size and playmaking ability. Needs to add pace and improve his off-puck game but has middle-six NHL upside.
