Centers
Nick Suzuki
Top-six forward with high offensive upside. Capable of playing both center and wing. A dynamic offensive force who is an excellent playmaker but also has great goal-scoring abilities as well.
Connor McMichael
An intelligent, all-around centre who broke out for 2019-2020 in such a way that he looks to be a top-line NHL talent. His shot and vision has hit another level since he was drafted.
Arttu Ruotsalainen
Tiny forward with very good offensive skills and skating ability. Also plays a reliable defensive game and can kill penalties. A natural center but may have to move to wing because of his size.
Marcus Davidsson
A two-way, forechecking centerman who uses his speed and determination at both ends of the rink. Has not yet learned to generate consistent offense at the SHL level and continues to play a limited role.
Ryan Fitzgerald
Top nine scoring forward. His willingness to play physical game will make him a reliable checker as well.
Matias Mäntykivi
Skilled center with very good hands and playmaking ability. Needs to improve his skating and physical game.
Pavel Shen
Shen has decent offensive upside and could slot into a top-nine if he ever makes the transition to North America
Kristian Reichel
Reichel is a solid two-way forward with an untapped offensive upside.
Kent Johnson
A potential top-line center who thinks the game at a high level. He is crafty, creative, and can create dangerous plays. He has all the offensive tools to be an elite center in the NHL but will need to build a bigger frame.
Josh Dickinson
Potential bottom-six centerman who can score goals.
