Defensemen
Lukas Fischer
Raw, young defenseman with interesting offensive tools and skating. Decision-making is still a work in progress, but could top out as a second-pair, two way defenseman.
Noel Fransen
Fransen is a mobile puck-moving defenseman whose off-puck habits will need refinement before making the leap to the NHL but who could anchor a second pairing if he hits.
Adam Kleber
Big, strong, smart defenseman with a lot of little benefits
Charles-Alexis Legault
Strong, smooth skating defensive defenseman with some offensive upside. Needs to remain consistent on offense but has legit NHL upside with some penalty killing ability.
Alexander Pelevin
Enforcer, shutdown defenseman who loves to throw his body weight around even though he isn’t the biggest player.
Tyler Tucker
Big defenseman who has is limit offensively. Takes and draws lots of penalties.
Matt Kessel
Hard-working defenseman who is reliable in his own zone. Found offence in his game recently.
Olen Zellweger
Puck rushing defenseman with outstanding skating ability. His well-rounded games gives him potential as a top-four defender in the NHL.
Pavel Mintyukov
Offensively minded blueliner with good size. Will need to hone his defensive game but has the potential to be an offensive driver from the back end.
