Big-bodied, physical right-handed defenseman with bottom-pair, penalty-killing upside.
Tall, athletic overage-drafted goaltender with a proactive mindset. Uses his stick efficiently to block out the slot; has a low posture that makes him susceptible to shots from further out.
A big center (6-4) who plays well defensively, Hradec's offensive performance at the 2025 WJC opened eyes.
Mobile skater who can accelerate quickly in any direction, and has some playmaking potential. However, a lack of production in Finland so far tilts a projection toward a bottom-pairing blueliner with sneaky upside. A long-term project.
Cerebral playmaker with a heavy shot. Skating and finesse in board battles allow him to play openly on a power play.
A potential bottom-six forward with decent skating and puck skills.
A hyper-aggressive shutdown defenseman who has flashes of offensive upside and puck-handling ability.
Hardworking, defensive-minded forward. Has put up high PIM numbers so far in his career.
Bottom-four, two-way defenseman with size, mobility, and underrated offensive tools. Strong shot and flashes of a strong first pass. Will have most of his value in category leagues that value hits and PIM.
