Defensemen
Niclas Almari
A defensive defenseman with little fantasy upside
William Reilly
A solid puck-moving offensive defenseman with good speed and a great shot. Potential depth defenseman.
Justin Holl
All-around fringe defenseman with moderate peripheral stats
Thomas Schemitsch
Bottom-pair defenseman with great size and solid two-way game. Has a good shot from the blue line but doesn't do much else offensively. Can provide a good amount of peripheral stats once he reaches the NHL.
Cole Hults
A two-way defenceman who can play in all situations. Possesses strong positional play, with offensive upside.
Dawson Barteaux
Two-way defenseman who leads by example and tends to make the low risk play more often than not. He can play the minute muncher role very well, but will probably not see a large amount of powerplay time at the next level should he make it.
Nick Ebert
A plateauing defenseman with journeyman status in the pro circuit and a low NHL upside.
Quinn Hughes
An exceptional skater who creates offensive out of nowhere. Star Status: Attained.
Oliwer Kaski
Offensive defenseman with great size. Despite his size, he doesn't play a physical style and instead relies on his positioning and stick-checking on defense. Loves to join the rush and create offense. Has a heavy and accurate slap shot, and he is capable of shooting from imperfect passes. His release on the wrist shot is extremely quick. He loves to shoot the puck as much as possible. Very dangerous on the power play. Needs to work on his defensive game and avoid unnecessary risks. A late-bloomer.
Guillaume Brisebois
Safe, all-around bottom pairing defender
