Gavyn Thoreson
Thoreson's offensive toolkit and hockey mind are quite excellent, but he remains very raw and gets physically overwhelmed by USHL opponents far too regularly, while it's a longshot, he does have top-six upside.
Tommaso De Luca
De Luca is a skilled forward who still needs to refine his game at higher paces but who could become a depth producer in the NHL with strong development.
Kocha Delic
Delic is a projectable, intelligent, intense centreman who makes for a straightforward NHL projection in a bottom-six role with his foundation of high-end work rate, strong off-puck routes, strong distribution, and overall offensive and transition efficiency.
Albert Wikman
Wikman is a mobile defenseman who excels in transition and projects as a bottom-three piece in a modern NHL defensive corps.
Francesco Dell’Elce
Dell'Elce is a toolsy but raw defenseman who will need at least three seasons of development before turning pro but who has an outside chance of growing into a second-pairing piece.
Elias Pettersson
Fluid-skating two-way blue-liner with size and a solid shot. Needs to work on his playmaking and using his body more efficiently, but projects as a second- to third-pair defenseman.
Ondrej Molnar
Molnar is a winger who plays with high intensity and thrives in an energy role, expanding on his playmaking game could unlock higher upside.
Matthew Soto
Energetic and versatile winger with good puck skills and vision. Projects as a complementary middle-six winger at the NHL level if he reaches his potential.
Denis Malov
Quick and shifty forward who competes hard in all facets of the game. Has a raw offensive toolkit that requires refinement and could grow into a middle-six NHL forward.
