Defensemen
Stepan Falkovsky
Humongous blueliner with multi-cat potential
Brycen Martin
Has yet to deliver on offensive promise shown in the WHL. Unable to stick in the AHL, Martin has a lot to show before any potential NHL sniffs.
Jarret Tyszka
Hard working defenseman with both size and mobility. High defensive maturity with average offensive skills. While showing a fantasy impact is rather unlikely, he should see some time in the NHL at some point of his career.
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
