Left Wing
Jani Nyman
Large-bodied, goal-scoring winger who drives the net and works the boards well. Needs to work on his quickness and two-way game to cement his middle-six upside.
Clarke Caswell
Playmaking specialist with decent hustle and vision. Rounding out his toolkit could see him become a middle-six forward.
Oskar Olausson
Two-way winger with a good release. Projects as a solid scoring forward with top-six upside if he can stay healthy.
Hunter St. Martin
A true Swiss Army Knife style player, St. Martin can play in any situation and play alongside bottom-six grinders or top-six scorers. His skating is one of his best attributes and could help him take the next leap in his game. He will need to improve most aspects of his game, especially his consistency, to make the NHL but as a player who went in the sixth round as an overager, St. Martin looks to be a nice upside bet.
Oliver Okuliar
A skilled and shifty forward, Okuliar is an underrated talent who can work wonders with the puck on his stick. He could slot into an NHL middle six and add a mix of scoring and playmaking on a top powerplay unit if everything pans out.
Daniel Torgersson
A big, intelligent, strong winger with a scoring touch but lacks offensive creativity—projects as a bottom-six net-front presence that’s hard to knock off the puck. Skates well for his size and has a good shot, but he needs time to develop his all-around game—limited fantasy upside.
Matt Filipe
Raw, skilled power forward with bottom six upside
Jesse Nurmi
Creative offensive forward who plays with a surprising amount of energy. Will need to add some weight, but could become a third-line checking winger at his best.
Cole Eiserman
Eiserman is an elite goalscorer; his release is as potent as his ability to find soft ice off-puck, but his on-puck game and defensive engagement remain raw.
Rutger McGroarty
A highly skilled, competitive, versatile forward who can play on the wing and center. Lacks high-end speed and needs to improve his overall skating. He has the size, strength, and leadership qualities to go along with the scoring ability and hockey IQ to develop into a reliable two-way top-six multi-category fantasy option that will contribute to both the powerplay and penalty kill.
