Defensemen
Owen Pickering
Mobile defender with great size and good offensive instincts. A bit of a project but has upside as a top-four defenceman at the NHL level.
Zachary Uens
Uens is a strong skater and does not shy away from being physical. His offense has not really translated and he cannot get out of the ECHL
Ludvig Jansson
A mobile defender with above-average tools across the board whose offensive production has been muted by playing against men as a teen. Boom-bust potential.
Isaiah George
Smooth-skating two-way defenseman with above-average compete, smarts and puck-retrieving abilities. Needs to round out his offensive toolkit to ensure a top-four future.
Matthew Lahey
A towering defenseman who already has the size and work ethic, with proper development, could make it to the NHL. A long-term project that is well off the fantasy radar.
Tristan Luneau
Mobile two-way blue liner with good size and great instincts. Has the potential to be a play-driving top-four defenseman at the NHL level.
Shakir Mukhamadullin
Tall, mobile two-way defenseman. Closes gaps quickly and effectively, and can skate his way out of offensive pressure with fluidity and purpose. Has top-two D upside, though more likely a 4th-5th D. Fantasy drafts that account for plus-minus should look for this player.
Alvar Ervasti
A large, young defensive defenseman.
Alonso Gosselin
A smooth-skating defensive defenseman.
