Linus Eriksson
An intelligent and defensively capable pivot who could forge a long-term NHL career and a bottom-six center.
Noel Fransen
Fransen is a mobile puck-moving defenseman whose off-puck habits will need refinement before making the leap to the NHL but who could anchor a second pairing if he hits.
Tomas Mrsic
Quick center with an above-average trifecta of shooting, handling and passing. Defensive game and board play need a ton of work, but has second-line upside.
Brodie Ziemer
High-intensity forechecker with good hands and a high-end shot. Refining his transition habits and learning to slow down the game could unlock middle-six upside.
Max Plante
High-pace playmaker who shows flashes of elite hockey sense. Lack of size and inconsistency make him a boom-or-bust prospect with top-six upside.
Dean Letourneau
Massive center with a heavy release and a physical game. Plays with an edge. Hockey sense and handling skill need work, but has safe upside as a unique third-liner.
Ollie Josephson
Speedy, intelligent two-way forward with forechecking skill and a projectable frame. Offensive upside is limited, but has a safe floor as a bottom-six Swiss Army knife.
Marek Vanacker
Crafty rush creator with quick hands and an accurate shot. Skating and defense need work, but has upside as a middle-six scoring winger.
Justin Poirier
Goal-scorer with some of the most polished shooting mechanics in the draft. Forechecking game borderlines on violent. Improving defensive game and playmaking is key to unlocking second-line, top power play upside.
Noah Powell
Speedy power forward with a deadly release.
