Defensemen
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
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.
Isaac Belliveau
June 2023 - Belliveau spent the 2022-23 season in the QMJHL where he played 55 games and recorded 46 points. In previous seasons the talk about Belliveau’s tools always came with high praise from his skating to puck skills to the physical side of the game however this did not lead to the point production [...]
Jordan Spence
An undersized, offense first puck-moving defenceman with a pass first mentality who relies on his strong skating ability to make plays at both ends of the ice.
Bowen Byram
Shifty, creative defender, who skates well and boasts a rocket of a shot. Capable of big minutes and big point totals.
Aleksi Heimosalmi
A smooth-skating transitional defenseman who has gained more and more notoriety as his draft year has gone on. He brings a mobility and skill level that allows him to affect the game at both ends of the ice, Heimosalmi is an intriguing two-way defender with solid upside.
Aidan Hreschuk
A do-it-all. two-way defender who can affect the game in all three zones. He plays a smart and efficient defensive game with the ability to move the puck up ice and make plays from the blueline.
Tarmo Reunanen
Finnish defenseman with some offensive upside, plays a solid defensive game.
Drew Helleson
Big, reliable d-man with confidence at both ends of the ice. Top-4 potential
Jonathan Myrenberg
A puck-moving, right-shot defender, with a solid frame and an offensive mindset.
