Defensemen
Nelson Nogier
Physical, stay-at-home defenseman that will likely contribute in deeper category leagues featuring blocks, hits and PIM.
Sergei Zborovskiy
The lanky blueliner projects as a shutdown defender, not a point-producer, although he might be redefining himself with eye-popping offensive stats early in the WHL 2016-17 campaign.
Nicklas Jensen
With a big frame and an elite shot, could score 30 goals in his best season, but has been slow to develop. Like most prospects, will have to improve on his defense and consistency to make an impact in the NHL.
Ryan Sproul
Potential to be a top four two way defenseman that can play in all situations.
Chris Bigras
Bigras has the composure, hockey IQ, to become a 4th or 5th NHL defenseman with some offensive capabilities.
Rob O’Gara
With a big frame and solid defense for the Yale Bulldogs, O’Gara still has lots to prove in the NHL. O’Gara could be useful in a year or two in leagues that count hits, blocks and penalty minutes.
Patrick Sieloff
His potential value is strictly confined to leagues that value hits, PIM and blocks.
Macoy Erkamps
If there's any team that can mine a diamond in the rough it's Pittsburgh but even that would be a long shot at this point. Solid organizational depth defender at this point in his career.
Cody Donaghey
Seventh/eighth defender who draws into the bottom pair on occasion
Kenney Morrison
Depth AHL dman.
