Defensemen
Artyom Levshunov
Levshunov is one of the premier two-way defenders in the 2024 Draft class, with strong tools on both sides of the puck.

Strong skater who plays big minutes for one of the better teams in the SHL. Defense is ahead of offense, but the offense has some indications that show room for growth and potential. Could play NHL games later down the line.

Chase Reid
Smooth-skating two-way defender with strong offensive instincts.
