Defensemen
Carson Lambos
A potential minute-eating two-way defender at the NHL level. An intriguing combination of speed, strength, and skill on the backend with top-pair upside.
Niklas Hansson
Hansson faces stiff competition in his quest for relevance but is worth keeping an eye on for those in deeper leagues.
Wyatte Wylie
He can make a solid top-four defenseman that can bail injured specialists in a pinch, think Sami Salo if things go his way.
William Villeneuve
Two-way defender with strong offensive instincts who has worked to round out his game since being drafted. His ceiling will be determined by how he adjusts to the pace of professional hockey.
Will Zmolek
A tough, physical large framed depth defenseman whose offensive game is a work in progress—will take some time to develop to be considered for an NHL roster spot.
Lukas Cormier
A well-rounded left-handed defenseman, who is an efficient puck mover.
Santeri Airola
A mobile defenseman who moves the puck well up ice. He possesses strong skating and playmaking abilities.
Thimo Nickl
Right-handed defenseman who always seems to make the perfect pass.
Jared McIsaac
Well rounded, puck moving defender with top four upside. Has value in multi-category leagues.
Michael Krutil
Krutil is a strong, physical two-way defenseman. He is mostly a defensive defenseman with good size and strong defensive capabilities.
