Defensemen
Luca Marrelli
A jack-of-all-trades defensemen that comes with respectable size and athleticism.
Daniil Pylenkov
A physical defenseman who is solid on his end, a good puck mover, and has some offensive upside. He must move to North America from the KHL to get on the fantasy radar.
Cade Webber
Defense-minded defenseman who tends to be a sponge for blocking shots. Potential value in bangers leagues.
Ty Murchison
A defensive-minded blueliner that relies upon his solid skating and physicality to rid the opponent of the puck. Lacking much offensive upside, Murchison caps out as a potential bottom-pairing or seventh NHL defenseman.
Ethan Edwards
Elite skater with impressive offensive tools (passing, shooting, stickhandling) - must work on his D-zone effort and positioning to make the jump. Physicality will always be a weakness, but could end up being a bottom-four puck-moving blueliner if things go well. Fantasy leagues with emphasis on points for D-men will likely benefit from this prospect if he makes the NHL.
Joe Hicketts
Small defenceman with some offensive ability. Still holds some potential as a third pairing defenceman who can run the second power play unit, and put in surprising hit totals
Chase Pietila
A puck-moving, two-way defenseman.
Daniel Laatsch
A big, stay-at-home defenseman who plays an intelligent defensive game.
Jackson Dorrington
Offensive and intelligent defenceman. Will need to improve hands and areas of skating.
