Centers
Aatos Koivu
A shifty, intelligent forward that can punish unsuspecting defensemen with his shot
Kamil Bednarik
A strong, gritty, natural center with a decent playmaking touch. Still raw, but a safe bet.
Lucas Pettersson
At his best, an offensively gifted center with a high pace, well-rounded two-way game. Needs to show his best more consistently.
Max Plante
High-pace playmaker who shows flashes of elite hockey sense. Lack of size and inconsistency make him a boom-or-bust prospect with top-six upside.
Sam O’Reilly
Incredibly intelligent two-way center with solid playmaking tools. Skating needs work, but could develop into a third-line, penalty-killing specialist.
Dean Letourneau
Massive center with a heavy release and a physical game. Plays with an edge. Hockey sense and handling skill need work, but has safe upside as a unique third-liner.
Cole Beaudoin
Strong, puck-cycling center with a good release. Has a high floor, but likely projects as a third-line power forward.
Michael Hage
True dual-threat center with great details to his playmaking game. Second-line upside is attainable with work on his defending and engagement.
Yegor Surin
An offensively gifted, gritty center that needs discipline to be more projectable.
Sacha Boisvert
Skillful center with strong off-puck movement and puck protection mechanics. Skating and defensive game need to improve to unlock his second-line upside.
