Defensemen
A puck-rushing defenseman with great size. A skilled player who knows how to handle the puck at high speed. Not the most dynamic player in the offensive end but capable of producing points. Needs to improve decision-making and defensive zone play.
Speedy skater and intuitive scorer who transitioned from the wing to defense. Could stand to bulk up more and iron out his defensive game.
Very reliable and smart two-way defenseman who will join the rush and get involved offensively. Reliable defensively already at young age which bodes well for his NHL future.
Middle-pair defenseman with some offensive upside. Likely an AHL, depth call-up at this stage of his career.
A mobile and intelligent defender who moves the puck efficiently. He excels at transitioning the puck and finding open teammates for long passes. However, consistency is a concern.
Smooth-skating, physical blueliner who could become a depth piece at the NHL level.
Smooth-skating two-way defenseman who excels on the breakout. Adding more aggressive offensive tendencies could solidify his middle-pair potential.
A mobile, reliable defensive defenseman that plays an effective, simple game.
A smooth-skating, cerebral two-way defender that does a little bit of everything.
A big, mobile defenseman with some real two-way effectiveness but struggles mightily in transition.
