Defensemen
Liam Pettersson
A skillful skating and puck-distributing blueliner.
Joona Väisänen
A good skating, playmaking defenseman who can move the puck well.
Otto Salin
Offensive-leaning right-handed defenseman with great mobility. Improving his in-zone play and physical game will help bring out his top-four D potential.
Simon-Pier Brunet
A physical, defense-minded defenseman.
Sam Laurila
A two-way defenseman who put in work after being passed over in his first year of draft eligibility.
Sebastian Soini
A tall, rangy defenseman that doesn't make mistakes.
Étienne Morin
Playmaking defenseman with interesting offensive tools. Decision-making and footwork need to improve to unlock his potential as a fourth or fifth defenseman.
Aron Kiviharju
An intelligent puck-moving defenseman who anticipates play ahead of professional competition on a regular basis but still has physical habits to learn and muscle to put on before making an NHL lineup.
Ethan Del Mastro
A big-bodied two-way defenseman who can eat up a lot of minutes. He has been trusted to be placed in big game moments where he can shut down the opposing team's offence. He has a great hockey IQ and the capabilities of being a second-pairing NHL defenseman.
Blake Fiddler
Smooth, mobile, and defensively solid, Fiddler still has some areas to clean up in his game to develop to the next level.
