Defensemen
Mike Koster
Undersized puck-moving blueliner who defends well for his size. Longshot to make the NHL.
Spencer Stastney
D-man with scoring numbers on the WJC
Christoffer Sedoff
Sedoff has worked his behind off for the chance to prove himself with an NHL team, and it’s unlikely he did so in hopes of a fruitful career playing back in his native Finland. If the offense he’s shown at the tail end of his junior career sticks, it’s easy to envision Sedoff as a bottom-four powerplay specialist in the NHL.
Gavin White
Undersized defenseman with an advanced offensive toolkit. Defensive game and positioning needs work.
Filip Johansson
Smart and reliable two-way defenseman with solid defensive game and some puck-moving abilities. Better for real life than fantasy hockey.
Nikita Okhotiuk
Physical, defensive-minded defender with bottom-pairing NHL upside.
Mikko Kokkonen
Reliable defender who prioritizes his own zone. Can move the puck but his overall offensive upside appears to be limited.
Ethan Del Mastro
Del Mastro is a big body stay at home defensemen who can eat up a lot of minutes. He has been trusted to be placed in big game moments where he can shut down the opposing team’s offence. He is a strong two-way defenseman with a great hockey IQ and the capabilities of being a solid second paring NHL defenseman.
Sam Rinzel
Smooth skating offensive blueliner with a projectable frame. Has potential to grow into a two-way top-four defenceman.
Adam Engström
Engström is a mobile defenseman who shines brightest with the puck on his stick in transition; he sparks quick counterattacks and jumps in to support the rush in the offensive zone.
