Defensemen
Axel Sandin Pellikka
Mobile, offensive-minded blueliner who likes to activate into the offensive zone. Plays with energy on both sides of the puck and has the potential to become a top-four defenseman in the NHL.
Alex Vlasic
A defensive minded defenceman, Vlasic will never put up big point numbers but will be the type of player every team covets
Kasper Puutio
Excellent shutdown defender with good offensive instincts. Fell in the draft due to size concerns and puck management issues, particularly on offence and during breakouts, but he has shown promising growth in these areas over the last couple years.
Cameron Allen
Two-way blueliner with great hockey sense who defends well and drives play from the back end. Possesses good mobility and competes hard on every shift, projecting as a top-four defenseman or better at the NHL level.
Martin Hugo Haš
Two-way defenseman with great size and very good shot. Upside to become a number four defenseman.
Brent Johnson
A skilled two-way defender who has been arguably the best blueliner in the USHL this year of any age. He shows excellent puck-moving ability and he drives excellent possession numbers as well. He may wind up being a more valuable player in real life than fantasy but should provide some points-only value as well.
