Defensemen
Shai Buium
A sturdy two-way defenseman who can make a good first pass and has an NHL frame. He has the makings of a responsible bottom-pairing defenseman in the NHL with the possibility of more.
Patrick Geary
A high character, physical, defense-minded defenseman.
Seamus Casey
Extremely mobile two-way defender who excels as a distributor. Needs to add size and strength to his frame but has all the tools required to become a modern-day puck-moving defenseman at the NHL level.
Artem Duda
Offensive-minded defenseman with size and skill. Efficient as a power-play quarterback and a great decision-maker with the puck. Defending backwards is a work in progress, but could crack a top-four.
Luke Osburn
A fluid, composed, highly intelligent defenseman with a great aptitude for making things happen in motion.
Kirill Kirsanov
Cerebral defensive defenceman who is responsible in his own end and has a good stick. Can distribute the puck, indicating moderate offensive upside.
Nikita Yevseyev
A legitimate NHL prospect, with the unknown of coming to North America from Russia. An excellent skating defenseman with good mobility and agility who is not afraid to be physical.
Viliam Kmec
A strong all-around defenseman with pro-ready size.
Oliver Bonk
A confident defenseman who will go as far as his tools develop, Bonk projects best as a defensive defenseman as currently constructed.
Nikolai Makarov
Large defenseman who plays a well-rounded game. Can move well on his feet and make smart plays on transition. Not biggest offensive producer, but uses his size to his advantage defensively, using his body and long stick to break up plays.
