Defensemen
Samuel Bolduc
Big and strong, but skates well for a big guy. Showing signs of being a future PP weapon, but doesn’t ignore defense. Could be more physical. Potentially a top-four NHL blueliner.
Dennis Cholowski
Smooth skating, offensive minded defenceman with top four upside if he can improve defensively. Has the ability to quarterback a power play at the NHL level.
Grant Hutton
Solid skating from the blueline as well as strong character and a good work ethic, although offensive numbers have eluded him.
Jesse Pulkkinen
Towering, mobile left-handed defenseman with great poise and tools. Needs to rein in the offensive aggression, but can develop into a unique second-pair blue-liner.
Roman Schmidt
Smart defender with good first passes. Decent two way game, but not much that pops out on either side of the ice.
Max Crozier
Mobile blue liner with a potent physical edge, Crozier projects as a two-way puck-moving defenseman that likely tops out as a third pairing defender.
Leon Gawanke
Raw offensive upside with a heavy shot from the blueline; could take plenty of seasoning in the minors before he's ready to make the jump to the NHL.
Calen Addison
Undersized puck-moving defenseman with high offensive upside. Likely a future power-play QB.
Eamon Powell
A solid defender, with decent tools and a good IQ. He isn't great at anything but doesn't lack in one specific area of his game either.
