Centers
Riley Patterson
Middle-six winger with potential for high goal-scoring totals. Great skater that creates chances. Goes to the front of the net and has a serviceable wrist shot. Provides value in leagues that use SOG.
Maxmilian Curran
Intelligent playmaking center who can exploit gaps and work the cycle down low. Needs to work on both his physical and mental pace to be an NHLer, but could carve out a bottom-six role.
Filip Eriksson
Hardworking and dynamic playmaking centre with two-way upside.
Gage Goncalves
A strong winger who displays excellent vision and possesses a bomb of a one-timer.
Markus Loponen
An intelligent, responsible, two-way center. Not a high-end scorer, but possesses a good wrist shot, providing some goal-scoring ability. Has limited upside and is off the fantasy radar, even in deep leagues.

Jacob Julien
Big, intelligent, offense-minded center. Has an underrated offensive game. Battles hard and is well-positioned off the puck. Has middle-six two-way center potential that can contribute to powerplay and penalty kill units.
Trevor Kuntar
Big, strong center with a quick, accurate shot. He excels in the dirty areas but can also drive the play on offense.
Brett Harrison
Harrison finds a way onto the scoresheet consistently, even when he's not having his best night. His ability to adapt to his teammates is valuable and he provides solid two-way play while possessing a good shot.
Curtis Hall
Hall offers a physical presence on the ice while maintaining his role as a scoring forward. He has good hands and great straight-line speed. He has top-six upside with additional value as a potential net-front presence on the power play
Andrei Svetlakov
There appears to be a potential bottom six NHLer there, but it’s a matter of if and when he makes the jump.
