Defensemen
Daniil Chayka
A defensive blueliner who has some offensive tools but hasn't quite put that part of his game together yet. A better asset in real-life than fantasy unless you play in a deeper multi-cat league.
Wyatt Kalynuk
An offensive-minded defenceman that has no hesitation jumping into the play. His point totals should increase as his playing time goes up.
Andrew Gibson
Stay at home defenseman with size and strength but little to offer points wise. Can have value in multi-category leagues
Chase Priskie
Priskie has skills and skating to succeed but there hasn’t been large improvements to his game statistically.
Hunter Skinner
Big defenseman with limited offensive skills.
Dmitri Samorukov
Potential to be a well-rounded second-pairing defender that can be relied on to play in all situations effectively.
Ronnie Attard
Offensive-minded, large-framed defenseman. The defensive game is a work in progress. Has a chance to develop into a multi-category defenseman.
Matteo Mann
A massive shutdown defenseman with a long reach. He has the size and strength to potentially provide fantasy value with hits and blocks—minimal offensive ability.
Bogdan Konyushkov
Konyushkov exudes skill and creativity, and plays with enticing physicality despite being undersized. If he ever comes to North America, he could be a top-four NHL piece.
Mac Hollowell
Undersized but smooth skating offensive blueliner. Likely tops out as organizational depth.
