Defensemen
Matthew Andonovksi
Big, physical defenseman with the upside of becoming a bottom-pairing defenseman in the NHL. Limited offensively but could prove valuable in multi-cat leagues where hits and PIMs are a factor.
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.
Cameron Allen
Two-way blueliner with inconsistent hockey sense who defends well and drives play from the back end. Possesses good mobility and competes hard, projecting as a potential middle-pairing defenseman at the NHL-level.
Tomas Hamara
Solid two-way defender who likes to activate and join his team on the rush. Not a dynamic talent but has the potential to grow into a steady top-four defenseman at the pro level.
Vladislav Kolyachonok
Mobile two-way defender with a strong first pass. Great in both ends of the rink and is not afraid to get in the dirty areas of play. Value added in leagues that include hits and PIMs
Alexander Nikishin
A big-bodied defenceman with an aggressive mindset and a big slapshot.
Kashawn Aitcheson
Punishing defenceman that likes to fire the puck and jump in the rush
Nick Cicek
Big, bruising defender with limited offensive upside.
Jesper Lindgren
Strong possession stats, lower fantasy stats
Mason Millman
A defender who has steadily developed at both ends of the ice. He is far from a finished product but he has consistently produced at or above expectations.
