Defensemen
Olen Zellweger
Puck rushing defenseman with outstanding skating ability. His well-rounded games gives him potential as a top-four defender in the NHL.
Pavel Mintyukov
Offensively minded blueliner with good size. Will need to hone his defensive game but has the potential to be an offensive driver from the back end.
Graham Sward
Two-way defenseman that has solid positioning and awareness but needs to improve his skating. Bottom-pair ceiling.
Quinton Burns
Burns is a mobile and intelligent defenceman who closes his gaps very quickly and relies heavily on stickwork defensively, he is likely a bottom-pairing piece if he forges an NHL role.
Anton Johannesson
An undersized, mobile, offence-minded defenceman. Injury-prone, long-term development project that needs to stay healthy.
Alexander Alexeyev
The big Russian defenseman can skate, play physical, produce offense, and has a hard shot
Viktor Persson
A smooth-skating, transitional defender. Carries underrated offensive tools and projects to be a top-six defender.
Jack Thompson
A strong-skating defenseman who plays a good two-way game.
Joni Jurmo
A puck-rushing defenseman with great size. A skilled player who knows how to handle the puck at high speed. Not the most dynamic player in the offensive end but capable of producing points. Needs to improve decision-making and defensive zone play.
Daniil Miromanov
Speedy skater and intuitive scorer who transitioned from the wing to defense. Could stand to bulk up more and iron out his defensive game.
