Defensemen
Jacob Bernard-Docker
A solid top-four defenseman with power play responsibilities.
Chandler Romeo
He’s a tall, lanky kid that skates well for his size, but his offensive ceiling will be capped fairly low. He could be a bottom-pairing defensive defenseman.
Brandt Clarke
A dynamic offensive defender who could have the highest ceiling of any player in the 2021 draft class. He has good size but needs to fill out his frame and his skating is elite. A potential number one defenseman in the future.
Andreas Borgman
Hybrid style of defender with the size to be an effective shut-down penalty killer. Offensive upside is modest at best.
Albert Lyckasen
A mobile, two-way defenceman who uses quickness to control the distance between himself and his opponent, keeping his opponent to the outside. Can carry the puck and quarterback his team's offence.
Vsevolod Komarov
An offensive defender who is not particularly mobile, but uses strength in the crease defensively. Can be caught chasing plays. Has dramatically improved his offensive game since arriving in North America.
Jack Matier
Pure defensive defenseman, limited offensive upside. Potential in blocks/hits leagues.
Linus Cronholm
Defensive defenceman who has yet to garner a significant role in the SHL. Must continue to develop his defensive game.
Casey Fitzgerald
A defensive defenceman with an active stick who is at times prone to turnovers and sometimes slow to move the puck.
Ilya Solovyov
A big, steady force on defence who blocks shots and loves throwing hits anywhere on the ice.
