Defensemen
Dmitri Semykin
Semykin's strong defensive characteristic's and track record project him to be a longer-term strong transition and shut-down defenseman with relatively low offensive upside.
Cole Fraser
Rough-and-tumble bottom-pair defenseman who contributes more so in the defensive zone than in the opposing team's end.
Viktor Antipin
Strong offensive capabilities. Creates plays. Needs a more developed point shot. Successful power-play experience.
Anthony Florentino
Could be helpful in leagues with deeper rosters and more stats. He will fit on teams who are looking for hits, blocks, penalty minutes from their rear guards, but he is still a long way away from being an NHL defensemen.
Vojtech Budik
A fast skating offensive defenseman, Budik has quite a high ceiling in comparison to his draft position. A gifted player with great straight line speed, Budik could become a second pairing defender, however a main concern is his Hockey IQ and decision making, which makes his ceiling somewhat hard to reach.
Alex Lintuniemi
Still developing his modest NHL upside
Philip Samuelsson
Depth defenseman with low fantasy upsdie
Gustav Bouramman
He has potential as an offensive depth defender useful on a PP, but the road will be long
Nicholas Boka
Boka may project as a defensive defenseman long term, but as a fantasy player, upside is very limited.
Dylan Labbe
With poor production in the ECHL, Labbe has a lot of work to do.
