A shifty, intelligent forward that can punish unsuspecting defensemen with his shot
A strong, gritty, natural center with a decent playmaking touch. Still raw, but a safe bet.
At his best, an offensively gifted center with a high pace, well-rounded two-way game. Needs to show his best more consistently.
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.
Incredibly intelligent two-way center with solid playmaking tools. Skating needs work, but could develop into a third-line, penalty-killing specialist.
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.
Strong, puck-cycling center with a good release. Has a high floor, but likely projects as a third-line power forward.
True dual-threat center with great details to his playmaking game. Second-line upside is attainable with work on his defending and engagement.
An offensively gifted, gritty center that needs discipline to be more projectable.
Skillful center with strong off-puck movement and puck protection mechanics. Skating and defensive game need to improve to unlock his second-line upside.
