Defensemen
Leon Muggli
Mature and smart left-handed defenceman who regularly wins battles against former NHLers. Lacks offensive pop, but should translate well to the NHL as a bottom-pair penalty-killer.
Charlie Elick
Big, mobile right-handed defensive defenceman with a great foundation of gap-closing tools. Offense is relatively limited, but projects as a number 4 penalty-kill specialist.
Colin Ralph
Massive left-shot shutdown blue-liner who boasts a unique blend of mobility and reads. Doesn't bring much offensively, but projects well as a bottom-pair play-killer.
Ben Danford
Well-rounded, mobile right-handed blue liner with good poise and breakout skill. Lack of offensive engagement and overall awareness limit his game, but has #4-5 upside.
Adam Jiricek
Jiricek is a toolsy and violent defenceman who will need to work on his composure and decision-making pace to reach his lofty potential.
Stian Solberg
Big, physical defenseman who plays an in-your-face off-puck game. Offensive tools lack pop, but has #4-5 D upside.
Sam Dickinson
Dickinson is a highly-effective defender, and stands out amongst his peers for his aggressiveness, defensive intelligence, and physicality.
Carter Yakemchuk
Big, daring offensive defenceman with great range and tools. Decision-making and habits are still quite raw, but has number 2/3 D and top power-play upside.
Zayne Parekh
Parekh's game is one of dynamism, creativity, and surgical precision in his activations from the point, he is among the most skilled blueliners that Canada has produced since Cale Makar.
