Defensemen
Arttu Kärki
Offensive-minded defender who controls the offensive blue line with poise. Shows good mobility but needs to improve his overall pace of play in order to maximize his potential as an effective NHL puck mover.
Cole Hutson
An offensive defenseman with elite creativity, deception, and handling skill, but his defensive game needs an overhaul for him to not project as a liability in his own zone at the NHL level.
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.
Gavin White
Undersized defenseman with an advanced offensive toolkit. Defensive game and positioning needs work.
