Defensemen
Nikita Tryamkin
A massive presence on the back end who skates like the wind and possesses a booming shot. Given the right opportunity could become a multi-category stud. Getting him back across the pond will be the challenge.
Timothy Liljegren
Mobile defender with strong puck-moving ability. Has the potential to grow into a reliable top-four defenceman in the NHL.
Eemeli Räsänen
Big two-way defenseman, minimal upside.
Joseph Duszak
Offensive minded blueliner who can quarterback a powerplay at the pro level. Defensive game continues to be a work in progress.
Rasmus Sandin
Intelligent two-way defender with a heavy shot and great offensive awareness. Plays a physical game for his size but could stand to add some explosiveness to his stride.
Teemu Kivihalme
Two-way defenseman who can skate and move the puck efficiently.
Calle Rosen
Strong puck-mover with pro experience
Jayden Struble
High-end athlete who can play physical and skate really well. Great shot and natural instincts means the offensive side of his game has room to grow
Brandon Fortunato
Quick and shifty defenseman that is confident leading the rush and active in the offensive transition.
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.
