Defensemen
Vashek Blanar
An NHL-sized defenseman who has put up decent offense at the lower Swedish levels for a big defenseman. Raw, with a long wait.
Tyson Jugnauth
A pass-first defenseman who uses his deception and puck-carrying skills to set up the offense.
Eric Jamieson
A defensive-minded defenceman who brings a ton of physicality, his play style could translate to a fifth or sixth defenseman.
Alfons Freij
An average-sized defenseman who can create offence with an above-average shot and pro-ready one-timer. Has NHL skill and mobility but lacks hockey sense. Needs to develop on both sides of the puck; the offense is ahead of the defense. Has the potential to make an impact in all three zones and the upside to become a number three puck-moving defenseman.
Elias Salomonsson
An offense-minded defenseman with excellent vision and passing skills. Has the potential to be a top-four NHL defenseman and can run a powerplay unit. The defensive side needs some work, as being over-aggressive in his end leads to missed coverage.
Ville Heinola
An undersized offense-minded defenseman with top-four upside who can run a powerplay unit. An excellent skater, but needs to get stronger to improve in the defensive zone.
Domenick Fensore
A skilled but small defenseman who has played at a high level throughout his young career. He brings offensive production through points, but won’t add much in hits.
Gavin White
Undersized defenseman with an advanced offensive toolkit. Defensive game and positioning needs work.
Henry Mews
A skilled, puck-moving defenseman with excellent skating and vision, showcasing strong playmaking ability from the backend.
