Defensemen
Tyler Duke
Undersized but tenacious defender with good puck-moving ability. Strong skating ability helps to make up for size limitations.
Mattias Hävelid
Mobile, offensive-minded blueliner. Needs to add strength and improve his off-puck game but could grow into a solid puck-mover at the NHL level.
Vladimir Grudinin
Undersized offensive defenceman with great mobility and puck skills. Needs to continue to mature physically but has the skill to reach the NHL.
Viktor Hurtig
Tall, mobile defenseman with good offensive tools, but shakey decision-making on both sides of the puck. Needs to adapt to professional hockey, but could hold an NHL roster spot one day.
Daniil Sobolev
Despite his small size Sobolev is an aggressive defender who is constantly engaged physically.
William Trudeau
A poised defender who passes the puck well.
Samuel Knazko
Kňažko is smart offensive defenseman who has tools to quarterback a power play and be an effective offensive weapon. He is a really solid skater with very good hands, shot and playmaking abilities.
Jake Christiansen
Offensive minded defender who carries an above-average shot and solid puck-moving capabilities. Potential top-4 on the back end with good fantasy upside.
Nicolas Beaudin
Elite vision and exceptional passing ability separate him from most others. His commitment to improving his overall game shows his desire to become a top-four defenseman in the NHL.
