Defensemen
Cameron Whynot
Solid two-way defender with untapped offensive upside that could see him blossom into an effective NHL blue liner. Smooth skater who utilizes good gap control and an active stick when defending in transition
Anttoni Honka
Boom or bust type offensive defenseman with high upside.
Cole McWard
A mobile right-shot defender who brings size and some offensive touch. Projects as a bottom-pairing NHL defender.
Vincent Iorio
An effective and intelligent two-way defender who should see his stock rise when the WHL gets going. His patience and poise make him a very good prospect in the modern game.
Quinn Schmiemann
Two-way defenseman with above average puck moving ability, Schmiemann is a good passer and defender and may be able to carve out a role as a depth NHL defenseman.
Maxence Guénette
Late-round pick who has seemed to have been worth the flyer to this point. A steady defender who doesn't have a true standout skill.
Lassi Thomson
Offensive right-handed shot defenseman with top-four upside. Very good skater with excellent compete level. Has a great shot from the blue line. Needs to work on his defensive game.
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.
