Defensemen
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
Ole Julian Bjorgvik-Holm
A mobile defender with a heavy shot and solid frame. Considered a project with bottom-pairing upside
Brandon Crawley
A stout defensive defenseman with limited offensive upside.
Brandon Hickey
An average-skating, defensive defenceman who has yet to find stability in the AHL
Jérémy Roy
Roy was previously (and correctly) listed as B+ but is docked a full grade with concerns over the stunted development and seemingly unending injury history. Adjust him on your boards accordingly.
Ryan Mantha
Big defender with a lot of intriguing tools but eye damage could potentially limit his effectiveness going forward.
