Defensemen
Hugo Gabrielson
An offensive-minded defender who can run a powerplay in the future.
Declan Chisholm
A left-shot defenseman with great offensive instincts. An intelligent decision-maker who skates well with the puck and consistently starts a rush with exceptional outlet passes—projects as a third-pairing defenseman with a middle-pairing upside that will contribute offensively and produce on a powerplay unit.
Scott Morrow
A mobile, right-shot defender who can control the game in all three zones. He has all of the tools that the modern-day defender needs but concerns because he plays prep are present. If Morrow reaches his potential, there could be something special here.
Jeremy Langlois
A smart, puck-moving defenseman who has an excellent shot.
Mikhail Gulyayev
Undersized but dynamic puck moving defenseman who defends well despite his physical limitations. Could grow into a serviceable top-four defender with the ability to drive offense and quarterback a powerplay at the NHL level.
Michael Buchinger
Mobile two-way defender who moves the puck efficiently. Potential 4-6 defenceman at the NHL level.
Scott Perunovich
Tremendous skater with high-end vision and a good first pass. Very real offensive upside.
Marc-Andre Gaudet
Two-way defensemen with a hard shot. Although he is excellent in transition, his skating is a worry.
Domenick Fensore
A skilled but small defenseman who has played at a high level throughout his young career. He brings offensive production through points, but won’t add much in hits.
Jorian Donovan
His size, skating and pedigree have exceeded his actual play on the ice so far in his young career. He just needs more time to improve and develop in the OHL.
