Damien Riat
A good value pick for the Capitals. He appears to be a dangerous top six forward but time and increased competition is needed for him to continue developing.
Lian Bichsel
Massive, smooth-skating blue-liner with polished defensive habits. Offensive tools need some work but could easily become a top-four defensive defenseman.
Reece Scarlett
Not overly strong at any one thing. Could become a third pairing defenseman at the NHL level.
Dmitry Sokolov
Sokolov is a goal scorer’s goal scorer. He may not get as many high danger chances as others, and his defensive play may be lacking, but a third line power play specialist doesn’t seem out of the question.
Matvei Guskov
Guskov is a 200-foot player who has had his role limited on a strong London Knights squad. He flashes offensive tools but consistency and opportunity are an issue at the moment.
Oskar Pettersson
He’s an average skater who is very adept at getting open in front of the opposition’s net and using his quick release to score goals.
Victor Berglund
Berglund’s upside is that of a two-way defenseman, although he will likely bring more defensive value to his professional team than he will offensive value to your fantasy team. He has a good shot and would bring additional value in leagues that count plus-minus.
Konstantin Volkov
Big and strong goaltender with above average mobility.
Tyler Lewington
There could be promise to Lewington’s game, but as of right now he is not fantasy relevant, unless you want penalty minutes.
Petteri Nurmi
Mobile defenseman trusted by his coaches due to his decent ability to limit high-danger chances when on the ice, but lacks substantive NHL upside.
