Defensemen
Nate Benoit
An aggressive two-way defenseman who racks up PIMs.
Lian Bichsel
Massive, smooth-skating blue-liner who loves to throw the body. Offensive tools need some work but could easily become a top-four defensive defenseman.
Maximus Wanner
A project defender. Has good mobility and plays a reliable defensive game in his own zone. Has not displayed much offence to this point.
Jan Goličič
A giant 6-6 defenseman who plays physical and hits everything he can. Is good on defense and shows deception in his offensive game. Has a heavy slapshot and quick release. Agility and skating are poor, which is by far his limiting factor. Could hold value in deep dynasty leagues that account for PIM. Will be a long-term project.
Filip Nordberg
He’s a strong skater who possesses fairly good puck-handling skills. He plays a very physical game and likes to finish his hits.
Niilopekka Muhonen
A strong skating, defense-minded defenseman. Offensive and positioning aspects of his game are a work in progress.
Kirill Kudryavtsev
A creative defender who brings a little bit of everything to the table. Despite being a seventh-round pick, carries sneaky NHL upside
Aaron Pionk
A defense-minded defenseman with decent passing skills. A long-term project.
Aidan Hreschuk
A physical two-way defenseman capable of moving the puck up ice.
Adam Kleber
Big, strong, smart defenseman with a lot of little benefits
