Reliable two-way defender who moves the puck efficiently. Has potential as a bottom-of-the-lineup NHL defenseman.
Smart defender with good first passes. Decent two way game, but not much that pops out on either side of the ice.
Effective second or third pairing defenseman. Better real life defender than fantasy defender. Has upside for shots and blocks but isn't very physical.
Mobile skater who can accelerate quickly in any direction, and has some playmaking potential. However, a lack of production in Finland so far tilts a projection toward a bottom-pairing blueliner with sneaky upside. A long-term project.
A hard-nosed, physical defender with a potentially burgeoning offensive game.
