Centers
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.
Denver Barkey
Incredibly fun, skilled and shifty undersized forward with high-end playmaking abilities, a constant motor, and an inside-driven mindset. Easy to push off pucks and can skate himself into trouble at times, but could top out as a top-six forward if refined properly.
Jake Karabela
A hardworking, playmaking center who is strong on his skates with offensive upside, improving defensively, and has potential as a bottom-six forward.
Anthony Romani
Highly-productive overager with a heavy shot and a sound foundation of smarts and passing ability. Defensive game has improved since last year. Has upside as a middle-six scorer.
David Edstrom
Despite some tool limitations, Edstrom has some upside as a powerful bottom-six center with good passing ability and physicality.
Vasily Ponomarev
A versatile forward with an eye for play creation. Loves to get in on the forecheck.
Jack Finley
A big-framed, smooth-skating centerman who can play a solid role on the defensive side of the game. Finley does have a strong offensive upside as well.
Nathan Villeneuve
A physical forchecker who, in his own words, loves to get under people's skin.
Patrick Thomas
A natural center with the versatility to move to the wing. An outstanding playmaker and a reliable penalty killer.
