Defensemen
Scott Perunovich
Tremendous skater with high-end vision and a good first pass. Very real offensive upside.
Jacob Truscott
A mobile, two-way defender with decent offensive upside.
Akito Hirose
An undersized defenseman who showcases strong puck-moving abilities, and disruptive defensive skills. Projects as a promising depth NHL option.
Elias Pettersson
Fluid-skating two-way blue-liner with size and a solid shot. Needs to work on his playmaking and using his body more efficiently, but projects as a second- to third-pair defenseman.
Justin Barron
A Jack-of-all-trades defender. Good in every area of the ice. Barron isn't flashy but he is effective.
Noel Hoefenmayer
Hoefenmayer is a bonafide NHL prospect, especially in the offensive zone
David Jiricek
Mobile defender with good size and a bomb of a shot from the point. Plays a physical brand of hockey and has the potential to contribute in a variety of ways as an NHL defenseman.
Daemon Hunt
Solid all-around defender plagued by injuries in his draft-eligible season. He can do a bit of everything and should be a valuable piece on any blueline.
Ben Gleason
Gleason has the potential to be a serious threat on the offensive end in the NHL with his playmaking and puck skills but will need to work on getting stronger and improving his defensive game before he can make the jump to Dallas.
Scott Morrow
A mobile, right-shot defender who can control the game in all three zones. He has all of the tools that the modern-day defender needs but concerns because he plays prep are present. If Morrow reaches his potential, there could be something special here.
