Jakub Málek
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.
Vojtech Hradec
A big center (6-4) who plays well defensively, Hradec's offensive performance at the 2025 WJC opened eyes.
Aleksi Malinen
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.
Robin Salo
Good two-way defenseman with offensive upside.
Oskar Vuollet
Cerebral playmaker with a heavy shot. Skating and finesse in board battles allow him to play openly on a power play.
Lukas Svejkovsky
A potential bottom-six forward with decent skating and puck skills.
Mikhail Shalagin
Russian winger with good size and puck skills, lacks foot speed but excels as a goal scorer with a heavy and accurate shot. Carries upside as a top nine NHL winger.
Daniel Torgersson
A big, intelligent, strong winger with a scoring touch but lacks offensive creativity—projects as a bottom-six net-front presence that’s hard to knock off the puck. Skates well for his size and has a good shot, but he needs time to develop his all-around game—limited fantasy upside.
Egor Korshkov
Big man with soft hands and goal-scoring timing
Aleksi Saarela
Talented winger has top six potential, with goal scoring upside at even strength and with the man advantage.
