Defensemen
Colin Ralph
Massive left-shot shutdown blue-liner who boasts a unique blend of mobility and reads. Doesn't bring much offensively, but projects well as a bottom-pair play-killer.
Ben Danford
Well-rounded, mobile right-handed blue liner with good poise and breakout skill. Lack of offensive engagement and overall awareness limit his game, but has #4-5 upside.
Carter Yakemchuk
Big, daring offensive defenceman with great range and tools. Decision-making and habits are still quite raw, but has number 2/3 D and top power-play upside.
Artyom Levshunov
Levshunov is one of the premier two-way defenders in the 2024 Draft class, with strong tools on both sides of the puck.
Tomas Lavoie
A prototypical QMJHL shutdown defenseman. Vision and offensive tools are still developing in his game.
Noah Chadwick
Big defenseman with good mobility and room for offensive growth.
Alexander Pelevin
Enforcer, shutdown defenseman who loves to throw his body weight around even though he isn’t the biggest player.
Matt Kessel
Hard-working defenseman who is reliable in his own zone. Found offence in his game recently.
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.
