Tyler Benson
In part due to injuries, questions will remain as to whether he projects to be an above average, physical second-line winger or a bottom-six energy player.
Layton Ahac
Skilled defenseman that thinks the game at a high level and could become an NHL lifer because of his two-way style of play. His skating is the only thing that is really holding him back, but he has a lot of time to improve that area of his game.
Pavel Novak
A developing scorer with good instincts and a well-rounded offensive game. Could be more consistent, but has plenty of skill.
Vladislav Firstov
Firstov is a powerful winger who’s offensive instincts are quite good. He competes at a high level and finds his teammates in good spots when he isn’t using his cannon of a shot. With some added bulk his physicality should play up more in leagues that counts peripherals such as hits
Simon Johansson
An offensive blue-liner who does his best work with the man advantage. Possesses a good shot, accurate but not overpowering. Possibly a second power-play option at the NHL level. Production will likely rely on time with the man advantage.
Alexander Dergachyov
KHL commit with big body and average scoring abilities
Mikhail Maltsev
Versatile bottom-six forward with size, but struggles to produce in small roles.
Kim Nousiainen
A very smart but undersized offensive defenseman. Has been working on his defensive game and decision-making to avoid unnecessary risks.
Lukas Parik
A large framed, butterfly style goaltender with high upside and NHL starter potential.
Markus Niemeläinen
Towering defender whose development hasn't gone as planned and is struggling to make an impact offensively.
