Centers
Simon Zether
A defensive forward that grinds with the best of them, but needs to add some speed to his game.
Stepan Gorbunov
An imposing skater that can play both forward and defense, Gorbunov skates well for his size, and as he continues to refine his game, could be an excellent bottom-six piece who can add points and penalty minutes.
Jan Chovan
A big, strong, hardworking two-way winger who also play as a center and contributes in all situations. Has upside offensively as a net front presence.
Owen Griffin
An undersized, hardworking center with a high IQ who plays a hard-nosed style of hockey with offensive capabilities. Bottom-six forward potential.
Grayden Robertson-Palmer
A pass-first, puck-moving forward with the ability to play center and wing who competes hard.
Matouš Kucharčík
A long-term project with raw talent and untapped upside, who is a dependable two-way center with middle-six potential.
Kirill Yemelyanov
A creative center who has a high IQ and is an offensive threat. Needs to work on his defensive play and overall 200-foot game. Although he is physically raw and needs to fill out, he is showing potential as a middle-six forward.
Linus Eriksson
An intelligent and defensively capable pivot who could forge a long-term NHL career and a bottom-six center.
Lev Katzin
A small but feisty centreman who is always noticeable on the ice.
Matt Copponi
A hardworking center with flaws off the puck. A potential fourth-line option if he improves defensively.
