Centers
Kamil Bednarik
A strong, gritty, natural center with a decent playmaking touch. Still raw, but a safe bet.
Calum Ritchie
Highly skilled and intelligent playmaking pivot who can play a physical game. Potential top-six NHL center who drives offense.
Marc Gatcomb
A bottom-six forward with limited offensive upside, but he is worth a look in deeper leagues that value hits.
Aatu Räty
A play-driving offensive center who plays a solid 200-foot game. A dual-threat because he can make plays and finish them. Great skating ability combined with high-end puck-skills makes him a threat all over the ice. Needs to work on his consistency and discipline. Projects to become a very good top-six center.
Max Sasson
A high-motor center with an offensive touch. Brings bottom-six NHL potential.
Brandon Svoboda
Hard-working forward who needs to develop offensively.
Avery Hayes
Undrafted forward with a winning pedigree. Developing well in the minors.
Joona Koppanen
Koppanen has a large frame but lacks the offensive talent to become a truly impactful player for fantasy purposes. Likely tops out as a role-playing forward in the NHL.
Stephen Halliday
The knock on him to date has been that he does not use his size enough and plays on the perimeter. Mix in average skating and Halliday has relied on his above-average playmaking abilities to have the success he has had so far.
Rasmus Kumpulainen
A big, two-way center who plays a bruising physical style.
