Defensemen
Andrew Gibson
Stay at home defenseman with size and strength but little to offer points wise. Can have value in multi-category leagues
William Villeneuve
Two-way defender with strong offensive instincts who has worked to round out his game since being drafted. His ceiling will be determined by how he adjusts to the pace of professional hockey.
Victor Johansson
An above-average skater with excellent vision, starting to mature physically, and a potential second-pairing defenseman that can run the power play and is not afraid to join the rush.
Rylan Fellinger
A big, physical stay-at-home defender with no offensive fantasy upside.
Noah Chadwick
Big defenseman with good mobility and room for offensive growth.
Nathan Mayes
A physical depth defenseman that needs to improve defensively and offensively.
Blake Smith
A big, rugged, smooth-skating defenseman who can fight and hit.
Cade Webber
Defense-minded defenseman who tends to be a sponge for blocking shots. Potential value in bangers leagues.
Ben Danford
Well-rounded, mobile right-handed blue liner with good poise and breakout skill. Lack of offensive engagement and overall awareness limit his game, but has #4-5 upside.
Konnor Smith
A big, physically aggressive defenseman who doesn't produce much offensively. He needs to work on his positioning; his aggression leads to being out of position. He's off the fantasy radar, but in deep leagues that value hits, he could be worth an add as he develops throughout his career.
