Scoring defenceman who chips in some peripheral stats as well
Mobile defenseman trusted by his coaches due to his decent ability to limit high-danger chances when on the ice, but lacks substantive NHL upside.
Tourigny is a dynamic and electrifying defenseman who loves to carry the puck end-to-end and create off the rush. He's a capable handler and passer, but it is his mobility and wrist shooting habits that shine brightest. He does, however, lack many projectable habits necessary for the professional game
He’s a strong skater who possesses fairly good puck-handling skills. He plays a very physical game and likes to finish his hits.
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.
Smooth skating offensive defenceman with good size. Defensive game is a work in progress but his raw tools give him top-four upside.
Depth defenseman with minimal upside
Xhekaj is a tough old-school physical defenseman. While he does have some skill and is a good skater for his size, his niche in the NHL - if he makes it - will be as a physically-dominant defensive defenseman, with a limited offensive ceiling. He would be an especially intriguing add in any league using hits and PIMs, as he puts up a tonne of both.
Big-bodied right-shot defenseman with a pro-level shot, and high intensity. Needs to work on recklessness on the ice, as he takes many minor penalties.
An offensively-minded defenseman with above-average hands, and sneaky speed. His high hockey IQ makes it look like he sees the game in slow motion.
