Defensemen
Daniel Laatsch
A big, stay-at-home defenseman who plays an intelligent defensive game.
Jackson Dorrington
Offensive and intelligent defenceman. Will need to improve hands and areas of skating.
Finn Harding
A hard-working defenseman showing offensive improvement every year. A long-term project.
Aiden Celebrini
A shutdown, right-shot defender.
John Prokop
A depth defenseman who plays a physical game. He needs to improve his decision-making with the puck and read plays better—he is more of a shutdown defender than an offensive producer.
Stevie Leskovar
A very physical shutdown defenseman.
Brady Cleveland
A big, physical defenseman who is tough to play against and is a fierce competitor who can deliver punishing checks. Offensively, he offers very little upside.
Louis Crevier
A defense-minded defenseman with a long reach and skates well for a player his size. He is well off the fantasy radar, even in deep leagues.
Rodwin Dionicio
A below-average skater, making him a defensive liability at times. Even with that, he has good offensive awareness and hockey IQ. If his skating can improve, there is a top-four upside.
