Defensemen
Tyler Duke
Undersized but tenacious defender with good puck-moving ability. Strong skating ability helps to make up for size limitations.
Dyllan Gill
A two-way defender with some offensive upside.
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.
Michael Buchinger
Mobile two-way defender who moves the puck efficiently. Potential 4-6 defenceman at the NHL level.
Asher Barnett
A competitive, mobile, defense-minded defenseman with limited fantasy upside. Projects as a bottom pairing defenseman that can be used on the penalty kill.
Ty Murchison
A defensive-minded blueliner that relies upon his solid skating and physicality to rid the opponent of the puck. Lacking much offensive upside, Murchison caps out as a potential bottom-pairing or seventh NHL defenseman.
Atro Leppänen
A dynamic, late-blooming, left-shot depth defenseman who plays a high-risk, high-reward game style. He struggles defensively, but his offensive game is intriguing.
Damien Carfagna
A defense-minded defenseman who skates well and can carry the puck up ice and make smart passes.
Marc-Andre Gaudet
Two-way defensemen with a hard shot. Although he is excellent in transition, his skating is a worry.
