Centers
Marat Khusnutdinov
A high-energy playmaker who makes things happen whenever he steps on the ice. A responsible two-way center who plays a strong 200-foot game. Slightly undersized but doesn't shy away from action. Good leadership abilities.
Marc McLaughlin
Most likely a bottom-six center with a moderate offensive ceiling. He is a strong skater and sound positionally. Could play net-front on the power play and kill penalties. Good defensively, which could see him as a passenger on an offensively skilled line. Doesn't shoot much, but should get you a hit every other game.
Fraser Minten
North-South center with above-average intelligence and defensive abilities. Needs to round out his puck skills and add some finesse, but could become a middle-six forward at the NHL level.
Brendan Brisson
A cerebral and effective centre with nasty finishing ability.
Tyler Madden
Speed-driven, playmaking pivot
Anthony Angello
Projects as a bottom-six power forward with limited yet helpful offensive upside as well as promising potential for penalty minutes and plus-minus.
Luca Del Bel Belluz
Sharp-shooting centerman with high-end hands and distribution ability. Needs to work on his skating and physical play to maximize his chances of reaching his top-six ceiling.
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.
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.
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 pick 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.
