Centers
Jordan Gustafson
A speedy forward with good hockey sense and vision in the offensive zone. He has the potential to develop into a bottom-six forward at the NHL level, although injuries might hold him back.
Sam O’Reilly
Incredibly intelligent two-way center with solid playmaking tools. Skating needs work, but could develop into a third-line, penalty-killing specialist.
Carter Klippenstein
A power forward who lacks offensive production and needs to work on his skating to take the next step. Can become a reliable NHL bottom-six player with proper development.
Ilya Safonov
A smart defense-first type player and an excellent penalty killer with a big frame that sees the ice well. He makes good decisions with and without the puck and tends to be in the right place at the right time; there is potential for more of a two-way player within the right situation.
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.
Ondřej Becher
A high-end playmaking center that thrives with the puck on his stick in transition. He could eventually be a do-it-all forward that plays up and down an NHL lineup.
Gabe Smith
A big, tough power forward who is not afraid to drop the gloves but can also use those hands to produce offense. Has multi-category potential in fantasy.
Kirill Tankov
A center that can make things happen all over the ice with the size and skill to make an impact offensively. Whether he plays in North America is unknown.
Xavier Parent
An undersized center with a scoring touch. A lack of size could hold him back from becoming an NHL regular.
Miguel Marques
Middle-driven forward with triple-threat offensive skill and a great motor. Defensive and physical improvements could see him hit his top-six ceiling.
