Defensemen
Artyom Levshunov
Levshunov is one of the premier two-way defenders in the 2024 Draft class, with strong tools on both sides of the puck.
Zeev Buium
Zeev Buium is a tremendous skater who uses his mobility to create consistent advantages on both sides of the puck.
Joaquim Lemay
Lemay is a two-way defenseman who can skate and pass under pressure. In the offense zone he can set up plays well but needs to improve in all aspects
Tobias Geisser
Geisser is a big bodied defenseman and appears to have some untapped offense.
Lucas Johansen
Johansen has the tool package to become a solid two-way defenseman and can chip in the offense when required
Hardy Häman Aktell
Two-way defenseman with good size and an intriguingly late developing skill set
Kasper Puutio
Excellent shutdown defender with good offensive instincts. Fell in the draft due to size concerns and puck management issues, particularly on offence and during breakouts, but he has shown promising growth in these areas over the last couple years.
Gian Meier
A reliable defensive specialist who shone in a big role at the U18 Worlds.
Artyom Shchuchinov
An undersized mobile puck-moving defenseman with untapped offensive upside.
Tomas Lavoie
A prototypical QMJHL shutdown defenseman. Vision and offensive tools are still developing in his game.
