Efficient puck mover from the back end who uses powerful strides to jump into the rush. Still a work in progress, his combination of size and skill give him potential as a two-way, puck moving defenceman at the NHL level.

Lauzon is a mobile, two-way defenseman that will contribute all across the scoresheet if given the opportunity. He also plays with a slight edge to his game, offering additional support for those in fantasy leagues that count PIM.
Quenneville’s viability as an NHL defenseman will depend on whether his puck moving skills will be enough to offset the difficulties he is likely to have in handling bigger NHL forwards around the net.
Technically sound defensive defenseman. Arnesson won’t fill the scoresheet but is capable of playing significant minutes and can help in leagues that count plus/minus.
A reliable two-way defenseman with top-four upside.
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.
Mobile defender with strong puck-moving ability. Has the potential to grow into a reliable top-four defenceman in the NHL.
Big two-way defenseman, minimal upside.
Offensive minded blueliner who can quarterback a powerplay at the pro level. Defensive game continues to be a work in progress.
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.
