Defensemen
Gabriel Eliasson
A violent hulking defenseman who moves well but just about every habit in his game needs to progress significantly for him to reach an NHL caliber.
Charlie Elick
Big, mobile right-handed defensive defenceman with a great foundation of gap-closing tools. Offense is relatively limited, but projects as a number 4 penalty-kill specialist.
Corson Ceulemans
An offensive blueliner who throws caution to the wind to create offensively. There will be some reigning in needed but the tools should intrigue any team that thinks they can reign the free-wheeling blueliner.
Dennis Cholowski
Smooth skating, offensive minded defenceman with top four upside if he can improve defensively. Has the ability to quarterback a power play at the NHL level.
Jacob Bernard-Docker
A solid top-four defenseman with power play responsibilities.
Daniil Misyul
Misyul shows some good speed and ability to rush the puck which could translate at higher levels.
Victor Söderström
Smart, two-way defenseman who projects to become possibly a top-pairing blueliner. Great puck-mover, good skater and has an excellent shot.
Maximus Wanner
A project defender. Has good mobility and plays a reliable defensive game in his own zone. Has not displayed much offence to this point.
Kyle Aucoin
Undersized but intelligent two-way defender with bottom pairing upside.
Nikolas Matinpalo
Shutdown defenseman who moves well for a big man. Will not be relied upon for his offense—projects to be a third-pairing defenseman specializing in putting up hits and blocked shots.
