Defensemen
Will Skahan
Raw, physical defenseman with range and mobility. Can close gaps well in transition, and plays aggressively. Decision-making needs to improve to unlock second-pair upside.

Skillful and agile offensive defenseman who is still figuring out how to play at high speeds and defend effectively. Could make a solid #4 and power-play specialist if he puts it together.
Poised, mobile two-way defenseman with great retrieval and breakout ability. Work on his handling skill and ability to work the blue line could see him become a do-it-all top-four defenseman.
Big, strong, smart defenseman with a lot of little benefits
Mature and smart left-handed defenceman who regularly wins battles against former NHLers. Lacks offensive pop, but should translate well to the NHL as a bottom-pair penalty-killer.
Massive left-shot shutdown blue-liner who boasts a unique blend of mobility and reads. Doesn't bring much offensively, but projects well as a bottom-pair play-killer.
Well-rounded, mobile right-handed blue liner with good poise and breakout skill. Lack of offensive engagement and overall awareness limit his game, but has #4-5 upside.
Tremendous rush defender who uses his skating to close gaps wherever he finds them. Offensive refinement could see him become a second-pair staple in the NHL.
Jiricek is a toolsy and violent defenceman who will need to work on his composure and decision-making pace to reach his lofty potential.
Big, physical defenseman who plays an in-your-face off-puck game. Offensive tools lack pop, but has #4-5 D upside.
