Centers

Oliver Johansson

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.

Oliver Kapanen

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

Victor Stjernborg

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.

James Malatesta

By |2025-01-31T12:45:57-05:00July 24th, 2021|

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.

Theodor Niederbach

By |2024-07-16T21:38:28-04:00June 2nd, 2021|

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.
