Defensemen
Nicolas Beaudin
Elite vision and exceptional passing ability separate him from most others. His commitment to improving his overall game shows his desire to become a top-four defenseman in the NHL.
Adam Boqvist
A tremendously gifted offensive defender, who blends speed, skill, and smarts. Owns a big shot. Will be a fixture on an NHL top power play for years to come.
Lucas Carlsson
TCarlsson will be the type of defenseman that does alot of things really well but that won’t translate into big offensive stats. A 5-6 defender that the coach has confidence playing in any situation.
Connor Hobbs
Hobbs has an NHL shot from the point, and can make plays, he just needs to improve his play in his own end to progress
Kristiāns Rubīns
Reliable blueliner with good size and mobility. Needs to inject more physicality into his game but has third-pairing upside.
Devon Toews
Toews is a mobile, creative defenseman who has good offensive instincts. The late-bloomer should be a good fit with the Avalanche.
Anton Lindholm
Defensive defenseman with good hit/block stats but no offensive instincts
Samuel Johannesson
A smooth, puck-moving defender. He is very patient and calm under pressure. Makes strong decisions both with and without the puck.
