Nick Lardis
Lardis is a high-upside, low-floor prospect with a versatile set of above-average tools but a lack of defensive engagement, physicality, and leverage tools to win puck battles.

Pitre is a strong mechanical skater with average handling and passing who still needs to refine his pace of play and activity rate to clearly project to pro hockey.
A high-energy winger with above-average awareness and excellent skating, Misiak has a high floor and could grow his playmaking game to unlock second-line upside.
Playmaking center with decent hockey sense and an underused shot. Lacks dynamic ability with the puck, but could become a bottom-six passer with enough time.
Assadourian has a high-end motor and plays with great intensity and pace, his offensive game grew significantly following his trade to Niagara, but he remains a bottom-six projection.
Twice-undrafted, undersized forward with high-end offensive tools and awareness. Could be a great late-round pickup for a team in need of boom-or-bust, top-six upside.
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.
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.
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.
Wikman is a mobile defenseman who excels in transition and projects as a bottom-three piece in a modern NHL defensive corps.
