Defensemen
Anton Silayev
Silayev is a hulking but mobile defenseman who covers a ton of ice with powerful strides and a long reach; while his passing game is a strength, his composure under pressure needs work.
Noah Warren
Big, physical defender who excels in his own zone. He has a heavy shot but appears to lack significant offensive upside at the pro level.
Colton Roberts
Smooth-skating defense-minded defenseman who can make the occasional strong breakout pass. Lacks offensive pop and struggles against the rush, but projects as a solid bottom-pair NHLer.
Theo Lindstein
Defensive minded blueliner with a quality point shot and understated offensive instincts. Continuing to improve his pace and play-reading abilities will help him reach his potential as a top-four defenseman.
Emil Andrae
An undersized offense-minded defenseman that plays a complete 200-foot game. Skates well has a great shot and isn’t afraid to play physically. Excellent on breakouts and makes quick decisions with the puck in the defensive zone. Can play in any situation.
Drew Helleson
Big, reliable d-man with confidence at both ends of the ice. Top-4 potential
Logan Mailloux
Big-bodied right-shot defenseman with a pro-level shot, and high intensity.
Simon Nemec
Strong two-way defender who controls the ice in all three zones. Has the potential to grow into a top pairing defenseman at the NHL level.
Taige Harding
A big-bodied, defense-minded defenseman.
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.
