Defensemen
A smooth skating defenseman specializing in the transition game and moving the puck up ice. His passing is strong enough to be his primary tool at the highest and could help him excel past his original draft position.
A strong skating, defensively reliable defenseman with offensive upside. Proper development could lead to being a top-four defenseman with power play usage.
Big, physical defense-minded defenseman who does not score often but shows promise in transition. He could become a bottom-pairing type at the NHL level.
Coughlin is a mobile offensive defenseman who lacks a fallback game and will need to elevate his offensive tools to forge an NHL role.
A reliable, defense-minded defenseman.
Fleet-footed right-handed defenseman who excels defensively. Limited puck skills, but has second-pairing upside in the right hands.
A violent hulking defenseman who moves well but just about every habit in his game needs to progress significantly for him to reach an NHL caliber.
The big defenseman sees the ice very well and plays a strong all-around game.
A shifty defender out of the AJHL, Benning is a prototypical modern-day blueliner. He has the ability to skate, make a good first pass and create in transition.
A large defenseman that can skate well and shut down opponents at a high level. His offensive and transition game are in question but considering his strong skating foundation Shuravin could develop into a competent middle-pairing defenseman who can pitch in offensively.
