Yan Kuznetsov

By |2025-01-31T12:24:33-05:00May 26th, 2022|

July 2023- Kuznetsov finished his first official professional season with the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL where he had a bit of a tough time adjusting to the pace of the play. He finished the year strong and his presence in the playoffs was massive. He was laying some big hits for the Wranglers and [...]

Punishing physical defenseman with limited offensive skills. Needs to work on his skating to reach the NHL but has middle-pair upside. Can provide a good amount of peripheral stats but not much in points.

Helge Grans

An offensive defenseman with great size. Skates well for his size. Excellent puck skills and a good shot. He needs to improve his decision-making and defensive play. He projects to become a middle-pair defenseman at the NHL level with a multi-category upside.

Nick Blankenburg

Undersized but physical right-handed defenseman with decent puck skills and refined defensive habits. Could become a top-four blue-liner in the near future, but likely tops out as a 5-6D with some power-play upside.

Ian Moore

Will be more valuable in real hockey than fantasy, Moore is a shutdown defenseman who will be able to provide peripheral stats and chip in on the scoresheet from time to time.

Noah Warren

Big, physical defender who excels in his own zone. He has a heavy shot but appears to lack significant offensive upside at the pro level.

Artyom Duda

By |2025-01-31T12:25:30-05:00May 22nd, 2022|

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.
