Defensemen
A dynamic offensive defender who could have the highest ceiling of any player in the 2021 draft class. He has good size but needs to fill out his frame and his skating is elite. A potential number one defenseman in the future.
Hybrid style of defender with the size to be an effective shut-down penalty killer. Offensive upside is modest at best.
A mobile, two-way defenceman who uses quickness to control the distance between himself and his opponent, keeping his opponent to the outside. Can carry the puck and quarterback his team's offence.
An offensive defender who is not particularly mobile, but uses strength in the crease defensively. Can be caught chasing plays. Has dramatically improved his offensive game since arriving in North America.
Pure defensive defenseman, limited offensive upside. Potential in blocks/hits leagues.
Defensive defenceman who has yet to garner a significant role in the SHL. Must continue to develop his defensive game.
A defensive defenceman with an active stick who is at times prone to turnovers and sometimes slow to move the puck.
Heavily involved on the offensive side of the game, active in the attacking zone and effective at creating opportunities from the point.
Undersized puck-moving blueliner who defends well for his size. Longshot to make the NHL.
Physical two-way defenseman with a powerful shot. Could develop into an all-around contributor on a team's third pair.
