Defensemen
Griffin Reinhart
A skilled puck-mover with the size to physically impose his will. His skating is his downfall and should limit him to bottom-pairing duties
Jan Kostalek
AHL/ECHL swinger with very minimal upside
Clayton Phillips
A long-term project, Phillips might one day become an important contributor to Pittsburgh’s offense.
Trevor Carrick
Depth NHL defenseman with multi-category upside if he gets his opportunity.
Brenden Kichton
Likely an AHL option at this point, fringe NHL prospect.
Tucker Poolman
Potential 3rd-pairing d-man
Jack Glover
Two-way defenceman with an injury history
Terrance Amorosa
A two-way, likely third-pairing defenseman if he makes the show.
Dmitrii Sergeev
AHL Dman
Tommy Vannelli
AHL Depth Defenseman
