Defensemen
Jakub Dvorak
Dvorak is a raw defenseman who still needs to grow into his large frame, but who could turn into a solid in-zone defender with a consistently strong first-pass.
Étienne Morin
Playmaking defenseman with interesting offensive tools. Decision-making and footwork need to improve to unlock his potential as a fourth or fifth defenseman.
Reilly Walsh
Tenacious, quick and shifty blue line sniper with ample scoring upside.
Dmitri Simashev
Defensively minded blueliner with a great combination of size and mobility. Will need to develop more creativity with the puck on his stick but has proven to be a reliable defender.
David Spacek
Strong two-way defenseman who is capable of putting up points but also playing great shutdown defensive hockey.
Kyle Masters
Puck-moving defenseman who utilizes his strong skating to help cover the weak side on both the offensive and defensive side of the puck. He has great vision, especially on the first pass outside of the zone.
Ryan Healey
Offensively talented blueliner who plays an aggressive game in all three zones. Will need to improve his mobility and refine his decision making but possesses NHL potential.
Jack Peart
Mobile blueliner with good defensive instincts and puck-moving ability. His refined game and skating ability give him potential as a top-four defenseman at the NHL level.
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.
Jared McIsaac
Well rounded, puck moving defender with top four upside. Has value in multi-category leagues.
