Defensemen
Gian Meier
A reliable defensive specialist who shone in a big role at the U18 Worlds.
Artyom Shchuchinov
An undersized mobile puck-moving defenseman with untapped offensive upside.
Tomas Lavoie
A prototypical QMJHL shutdown defenseman. Vision and offensive tools are still developing in his game.
Ryan Chesley
Two-way defenseman with a heavy one-timer from the point. Possesses decent offensive upside and has a solid floor defensively, making him a potential top-four defenseman at the NHL level.
Tristan Luneau
Mobile two-way blue liner with good size and great instincts. Has the potential to be a play-driving top-four defenseman at the NHL level.
Noah Chadwick
Big defenseman with good mobility and room for offensive growth.
Josh Fluker
Despite his size, a remarkable shutdown defenceman that has the grit and intelligence to hold his own
Mitja Jokinen
Small, skilled, elusive puck-moving defenceman
Daniel Nieminen
A mobile two-way defenseman with a great skating technique but limited handling skill.
Jiri Tichacek
A mobile, intelligent, and resourceful puck-mover from the blueline whose mobility and stickwork compensate for his lack of size defensively.
