Defensemen
Tyler Bertucci is a defenseman with a great hockey sense that thrives in his own end. He uses his body around the boards to create plays and opportunities. He is also very good on the transition with a special knack for passing.
Very smart offensive defenseman, and can find open players with ease. He does not shoot enough though and he is under-sized for a defenseman. Needs to add strength
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.
An aggressive, explosive skating defenseman that lacks size with good puck-moving skills. While not an elite offensive contributor, he can chip in when called upon. The upside is limited.
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.
Reliable top-four defender that competes hard and can effectively get the puck out of the defensive zone.
Good skater who activates offensively. Long term project with bottom pairing upside
Smooth skating, sharp passing, defensively responsible rearguard
Puck-moving defender with good hands and escapability. Shows intelligence in all three zones and could grow into a 4-6 defender at the NHL level.
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.
