Defensemen
Nikita Yevseyev
A legitimate NHL prospect, with the unknown of coming to North America from Russia. An excellent skating defenseman with good mobility and agility who is not afraid to be physical.
Christian Kyrou
Smart, dynamic offensive defenseman with some sound skating foundations and an accurate shot. Could become a top-four blue-liner with power-play upside.
Nolan Allan
A sturdy defender who excels in his own end. He brings some solid mobility and can move the puck up ice to his teammates but he is still quite raw in the offensive zone. He can 'pop' at times but it's infrequent at this stage of his development.
Connor Kelley
A defense-minded defenseman.
Eemil Viro
An average-sized puck-moving defenseman with good two-way qualities and middle-pair upside. A very good skater and a very smart player but lacks standout skills.
Viliam Kmec
A strong all-around defenseman with pro-ready size.
Kalle Kangas
A big body defenseman who does not play overly physically but is hard to play against. Skating needs some work as he struggles to play at high speed. Needs more consistency, but the complete level is there.
Zachary Schulz
A physical, defense-minded defenseman who skates well and is not afraid to join the rush. A long-term project that needs to develop offensively.
Adam Jiricek
Jiricek is a toolsy and violent defenceman who will need to work on his composure and decision-making pace to reach his lofty potential.
Sam Dickinson
Dickinson is a highly-effective defender, and stands out amongst his peers for his aggressiveness, defensive intelligence, and physicality.
