Centers
A hard-nose high energy forward who has strong playmaking abilities.
Limited games played in his draft year but sneaky quick with strong offensive instincts. Needs more game time to get a decent read on his upside.
An all around center who can play on the power play and on the penalty kill. Kapanen has above average skating, but excels with his ability to be elusive in tight areas using his shifty footwork
A steady two-way forward who lacks some dynamism offensively but finds a way to contribute every night. His motor runs high and he gets in on the forecheck to create offense. Stjernborg is going to be an interesting developmental project as his offensive game is solid but simple and he should be able to translate it as he gets a bit stronger over the next couple of seasons. He can play on the wing or at center and projects to a bottom-six role with a bit of offensive production.
High-energy forward that impacts the game with great skating ability. Plays bigger than his size but needs to continue rounding out his game to become an effective NHL player.
Spark plug energy forward who fits a bottom six role.
Talented but oft-injured AHL scorer
A top-six forward with a high scoring ceiling.
Versatile and responsible two-way forward.
An extremely smart and skilled offensive player with top-six upside. A pass-first type player with high-end playmaking abilities. A natural center but there are some concerns about his ability to play down the middle at the pro level. A difficult player to evaluate because he missed the entire 2018-2019 season due to knee injury.
